Jack spent time in Florida as a sales associate for Miami Propeller and enjoyed fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. In 1978 the family moved to Tooele, Utah and opened a Big O Tire store. Jack loved spending time with his wife, working in their yard, and sitting on the back porch. Jack was a farmer at heart and enjoyed working on his Grandfather's and Uncle's ranches when he was young. The love of the earth never left him as he raised a garden and chickens after moving to Tooele. Jack experienced life to its fullest, always looking for an adventure. He is survived by his wife of 60 years Marjorie Elaine Holbert, Kirk Allen Holbert of Alpine, Wyoming, Charles (Jennifer) Holbert of Magna, Utah, grandson Michael Holbert of Tooele, Utah, and granddaughter Stephanie Holbert of Marathon, Florida.

The family would like to thank Eddie Leo and his family for years of friendship and great memories, Bryan Burns for all of the help and care he has given to Jack and Elaine over the past several years, and the many neighbors that have assisted during times of need. No services will be held. �
