Jack was born on June 20, 2002 in White Plains, New York. He attended Immaculate Heart of Mary School and the School of the Anunciation. He graduated from Fordham Prep in 2020. Jack had just started as a freshman at Syracuse University where he was studying magazine, news, and digital journalism at the Newhouse School of Public Communications. He had dreams of eventually pursuing a career in media and TV and his high energy and engaging personality would have certainly carried him far in that field. Jack will be missed immensely by his family and everyone who shared his company. He always had a bright outlook on life, and amazing sense of humor. He will be remembered as the kind of young man that anyone would be proud to call son, brother, grandson, cousin, and friend. In keeping with his spirit of giving and caring for others during his lifetime, Jack gave the gift of sight and science to others as an eye and tissue donor.
