Jack was born July 19, 1961, in Brantford Ontario Canda. His parents Robert Arons and Hendrika Arons settled in Northern California in June of 1968 after they initially migrated to Canada from the Netherlands. Jack was not born in Texas but loved Texas and was a proud Texan.

They raised two children together, Heather Reed of Liberal, Kansas and Jonathon Fisher of Decatur, TX. He was extremely proud of his children and the adults they had become.

Jack believed in old-fashioned traditional values and was very conservative in his views. “Nothing in the world is free.” “Hard work pays the bills”, “Always respect women and your elders”, “Everything happens for a reason”. He was extraordinarily strong in his beliefs and inner faith. He was known to be a bit stubborn because of his beliefs.

Jack retired to Bowie in 2021 after driving a Semi truck over the road for more than 30 years but never forgot the love of his profession. He was able to find deep joy in retirement with his family and grandchildren.
