JACK LEASURE ENTERS HEAVEN
Without a doubt, Jack Leasure is one of the finest men I have ever known! Yesterday morning around 3:00AM Jack passed from this life and entered Heaven. I received word about his passing from Bro. Jerry around 9:00AM and my heart was heavy the rest of the day. Pray for the Leasure family!
I have known Jack Leasure for 29 years. He was our bus mechanic for a long period of time. He was the teacher for the senior adult men for many years. He and Miss Chris were in church every time the doors were opened until their health failed. Jack always wore a tie to church – it may be a Looney Tunes tie but he always had one on. He was a funny man as he always had a word!
I seriously contemplated coming home for Jack’s service but after much prayer, and with the family’s blessing, I have decided to remain here. I do this mainly because I know what Jack would tell me to do. (It is very much similar to Bertha Peacock’s passing several years ago) Bro. Jerry will preach the service at 10:00AM on Thursday.
The visitation will take place Wednesday evening from 5:00PM until 8:00PM. Out of respect for Jack, we will not have the service (morning or evening) that would normally take place in the auditorium. We will have our regular classes i.e. RA’s, GA’s, youth Bible studies, etc. I encourage the members of the Friendship family to attend the visitation and/or service.
I thank God for the life of Jack Leasure! My life is better for having known him!
