John “Jack” E. Albright, of Cave Creek, Arizona passed away on Jan. 12, 2018, at the age of 79.
Jack was born to Harold and Zella Albright in Volga in 1938. Soon after high school he joined the Air Force and was honorably discharged in 1969. During his service he was awarded the bronze star and was a Vietnam veteran. Jack married his wife Dixie, Nov. 30, 1959. The couple moved to France and had their first two children Joel and Jeff.
After returning to the United States and moving several different times they returned to Jack’s hometown of Volga and had their next two children Jennifer and Jon. In 1986 they moved to Arizona and remained there. Jack was quick witted and always had a twinkle in his eye. There was laughter every time you had a conversation with him. He was a hero to his children and grandchildren and probably the strongest person we will ever meet in our lives. We are forever grateful for all of the love, support, hugs and laughter he has given us throughout our lives.
Jack is preceded in death by his wife, Dixie and survived by his children Joel Albright, Jeff Albright, Jen Albright, Jon Albright; daughter-in-law Robin Albright; son-in-law Matt Johnson; grandchildren Carrie Mason, Tara Albright, Nathan Albright, JJ Albright, Jessica Albright, Adrianna Albright, Meghan Albright, Kaylee Albright; grandchildren-in-law Matt Mason, Sarina Albright and Krystal Albright; great-grandchildren Owen Mason, Tucker Mason, Breckin Mason, Jasper Mason, Christian Albright, Grace Albright, Emma Albright and Ava Albright; dogs Ebony and Patsy Cline.
Celebration of life services will be held in Cave Creek, Arizona, at 4: p.m. Jan. 20, 2018. There will be additional services in Volga, during the summer of 2018. In lieu of flowers please make donations in his name to the American Heart Association, the Kidney Foundation, or charity of your choice.
