Jack Clerkin

On May 19, Jack Clerkin passed away peacefully in his home in Macomb, IL. He was surrounded by the two people on earth who loved him most and who gave him a wonderful life--my dad and mom. Patrick loved Jack dearly, too, and I like to imagine that they are now reintegrated, together, into the universe again.

Jack was the best dog I have ever known. He had a gentle spirit and noble bearing. He was present and provided comfort and stability during some of the very most difficult times of our lives. He loved walks, cooling down in the water, pets, and spending time with his family. We will all miss you, sweet Jack. May you rest in peace.

    I am so sorry Elise. Jack sounds like an amazing dog (family member). And u all sound so appreciative to have had him to share ur love and family with. Having lost 3 dogs in a 4 yr period I know how hard it can be. Im so sorry for ur loss. Much warmth and care. Tom F
