John Earl Slack, 46, of Loganville

John Earl Slack, age 46, of Loganville, died November 27, 2013. 

Beloved husband, father, son, uncle, nephew, brother, friend, and true hero to all who knew and loved him passed away in his families arms after a courageous fight with a sudden illness. 

John was born on April 6, 1967 to Paul H Slack and Lucille P Slack, both deceased, of Salt Lake City, Utah. He married Kimberly Ann Slack, 49, on February 18, 1989 in Rose Park, Utah. John had recently been baptized and confirmed Catholic and renewed his wedding vows with Kimberly in a Wedding Blessing ceremony at the St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Lawrenceville, Ga. 

John and Kimberly had 3 sons: Jaysen David Nielsen, 31, from his wife's first marriage; Stephan John Slack, 25; and Markus Lee Slack, who passed away in 1997 at the age of 5 from Neuroblastoma.

John loved playing the electric guitar and had an equal passion for flying model helicopters. He was gifted with his hands and a genius when it came to fixing things. He loved his family above all and enjoyed spending time at home with them. He was our families rock when we needed strength and our heart when we needed his love. Especially after the loss of our son Markus. His legacy will live on through those of us who had the privilege of having him in our lives.
