Jack Edward Wilt Obit
ADRIAN — Jack Edward Wilt, age 74, of Adrian went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2008, surrounded by his wife and loving family.
He was born on June 17, 1933, in Coats, Kan., to Harley Edward and Gladys Lena (Burgin) Wilt. On June 7, 1952, he married Margaret L. Ackley and she survives. Jack had been employed by Tecumseh Products, retiring in 1991. He was a member of Raisin Center Friends Church, the Lenawee County Conservation League and the Michigan Bow Hunters. Jack enjoyed bow hunting, fishing, going to the cabin in Millersburg, Mich., camping, and working with the church youth, but his biggest interest was spending time with his family.
Jack was a kind and loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. He lived his life teaching his kids to reach for a higher level of achievement than they thought possible. He mentored his family as he lived his life with courage, faith, morals and an amazing sense of humor.
Jack had battled Parkinson’s Disease for several years, never complaining or making excuses. His love for his family and for life was an inspiration for all those who knew him.
His laughter, jokes and quiet reassurance will be missed.
In addition to, Marge, his wife of 55 years, he is survived by three sons, Randy Wilt, and his wife, Karen, of Tecumseh, Harley Wilt and his wife, Leann, of Tecumseh, and Rodney Wilt and his wife, Suzanne, of Adrian; a daughter, Tammy Hall and her husband, Michael, of Adrian; two brothers-in-law, Larry Ackley and his wife, Judy, of Adrian and Gary Ackley and his wife, Connie, of Adrian; five sisters, Emma Phenicie and her husband, Bob, of Blissfield, Lucielle Dull-Bliesner and her husband, Jim, of Adrian, Irene Allen-Cadmus of Tecumseh, Beverly Cowen and her husband, Steve, of Aldrich, Mo., and Marjory Boen of Springfield, Mo.; eight grandchildren, Israel and Cristy Wilt, Jacob Wilt, Joseph Wilt, Darrell and Lindsey Wilt, Nicole and Aric Demski, Trent Wilt, Joel Howland, and Kristy and Bryan Snyder; and nine great-grandchildren, Jared, Janae, Brook, Macie, Cody, Grace, Faith, Drew and Julia. He was preceded in death by a grandson, Charles Jason Howland; his parents, his father- and mother-in-law, Merl and Leona Ackley; a brother in infancy, and a sister, Doris Stine.
