Jack was born in Cheboygan on August 5, 1939, the son of Gerald R. and Irene Rita (McCoy) Amick. After Jack’s father gave the ultimate sacrifice in World War II, his mother married John Melvin Weed who lovingly raised him. Through a friend, Jack met the former Jerri McCabe. They dated, fell in love and were united in marriage on April 17, 1976. Jack worked for General Motors and enjoyed fishing, hunting, and old western movies. Jack’s love for his family was unwavering, and he touched the lives of countless foster children through the years. Jack leaves to cherish his memory his wife of thirty-nine years, Jerri, and his children, John Amick., Jr., Debbie Koster and husband, Joe, Robert Amick, Steven Amick, Michael Amick and wife, Diane, Jennifer Amick, Steven Amick, Patrick Amick and John Paul Amick.

Jack was not here by chance but by God’s choosing. His hand formed him and made him the person he was. He compared him to no one else, he was one of a find. He lacked nothing that God’s grace did not give him. God allowed Jack to be here at that time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation. Thank you God. Jacks 5 children 19 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren already miss him greatly, as well as many others.
