He was my professor, my mentor, and, most importantly, my dear friend. I'll never forget the stories we shared and all of the valuable things that he taught me. Words cannot even begin to express how much of an impact he had on my life, as well as the lives of many, many others. I'll miss you, Jack. But, rest assured, your legacy lives on through all of the lives who you so deeply touched. I don't know where I'd be today without you, and, for that, I cannot thank you enough. Rest peacefully, Captain. I was blessed enough to have the pleasure to really get to know Jack the last four years of his life. He was my professor, my mentor, and, most importantly, my dear friend.

I had the pleasure of taking his intro to poetry class my sophomore year of SMU, and left a better writer, and I think a better person. He had a conviction for writing and inspiring others that I've seen few match. Jack, you'll be sorely missed.

“If you want to make a difference
go to an empty place,

fill it up with yourself
and then let go of that and wait
until the place is empty again.

If you bring all of you with you
what you leave with will make an enormous difference” – Jack Myers
