Jack Lee Black

On Monday, June 14, 2021, JACK LEE BLACK, husband, father, son and brother, passed away suddenly at the age of 68. Jack was born June 30, 1952 in Huntington, WV, a son of the late Ty Bertias Black and Sylvia Chinn Black.  He was also preceded in death by two sisters Alannia Cooper and Mary Hodge, and one brother, Aaron Black. 
Jack was the owner of JLB Construction and Excavation for 31 years, a business he poured his heart and soul into, growing it from the ground up. He made many lifelong clients and friends along the way. Jack’s favorite hobby was to find a flea market and spend the day searching for antiques and other various items that were invaluable to him. He also loved dearly, Festus, his furbaby cat, who would greet him at the end of the sidewalk everyday for a belly rub before going inside.

Also surviving are siblings, Hobert Black of Huntington, WV, Al Black of Proctorville, OH, Betty Smith of Huntington, WV, Sylvia Jean Maynard of Proctorville, OH; along with four very dear friends, Mark Watts, Larry Watts, Dar Holderby, and Jimmy Brumfield.
