Jack loved his hometown of Singer, LA and the people who lived there. He was a member of the Church of Christ. He loved his cattle and his job with the Louisiana Department of Highways. He spent 2 years in the U.S. Army, which proved very valuable during his long, crippling illness. The family is very grateful and wishes to give thanks to the VA, hospice and all who offered prayers for Jack and his family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Claiborne “Dick” and Oddie Miers Alston; brothers, Alvin Alston, Donald Ray Alston, Morrill Alston and Norris Alston; sister, Bobbie Spivey.
