He grew up on his parents' homestead with two brothers and five sisters. Jack worked at home and for a farmer, where he acquired a love for horses. He was in charge of two sawmills for Brierly on the Sunchild and O'Cheese reserve west of Rocky. He was known for his respect and integrity by all he worked for and worked with. There he grew close to the native people. It was also there that he met the John Wohlgemuth family and the Mennonite church. The Wohlgemuths welcomed him into their family as one of their own. He joined them in their move to Crooked Creek, Alberta. Then, upon giving his heart to the Lord, Jack was baptized in November of 1953, into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. The Church and his "Shepherd" were dear to him. Jack met Erna Penner while she was nursing at the Sunchild Mission. They were married in Greenland, Manitoba, on October 19, 1954. They had four children and lived on a half-section of homestead at Debolt, Alberta. They named their homestead, "Whispering Hope." Jack made his living farming, driving school bus, raising broiler chickens, and had a taping and painting business. He always took great pride in his work. Jack and Erna had a grandson, Jason, whom they lovingly welcomed. Jack loved Jason as his own son and was heartbroken when he passed away in 1994. Erna passed away in July, 1980, leaving Jack very lonely. Jack married Marion Isaac on November 20, 1981, and Marion enthusiastically assumed responsibility for the four children and the homestead. Jack was the administrator of the Ridgevalley Home, Crooked Creek, Alberta, for many years. The residents and staff were dear to his heart. He was a church usher for many years. He loved to listen to singing. His favorite scripture was the Twenty-Third Psalm, and his favorite song was, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." Jack left to be with the Lord quite suddenly on May 17, 2001. He was predeceased by his first wife, his grandson, his parents, a brother, and three sisters. Left to mourn his passing are his loving wife, Marion; and his children: Barb and Span Mykula, Debolt, Alberta; Les and Cheryl Bignold, Crooked Creek, Alberta; Rob and Tannys Bignold, Grande Prairie, Alberta; and Jose and Gerry Johnson, Grande Prairie, Alberta; thirteen grandchildren; one brother, Bob (Rose) Bignold, Canmore, Alberta; twin sisters Joan (Bernard) Otteson, and Joyce Borsje, Duncan, British Columbia; and many relatives and friends. Funeral services were held on May 21, 2001, at the Rosedale Congregation, Crooked Creek, Alberta. Ministers Trevor Penner, Dennis Toews, Lee Wohlgemuth, and Darrel Toews officiated. He was laid to rest in the Rosedale Cemetery, Crooked Creek, Alberta. Min. Franklin Penner conducted the Graveside Services.
