Jack was a Bolton High School graduate and proudly served our country in the United States Air Force.

He and Doris became full-time RVers, enjoying visiting all 50 states, Mexico and Canada. Up until his illness, they still traveled to South Texas for the winter, to visit family in Georgia and South Dakota and to Grand Isle to enjoy fishing and crabbing and monthly trips with their camping club. Jack was blessed with many talents, from drawing, woodcarving and photography, and being able to fix anything that needed repair, to cooking, especially frying fish. His love of the outdoors, from the scenery to teaching his children and grandchildren to hunt and fish, were his passions. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend who was deeply loved and will be greatly missed.

He is preceded in death by his grandson, Brandon Ryland and his parents, Roy and Marie Gaspard Lofton.

He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Doris Joy Lofton; children, Kevin Lofton and wife, Teresa, Scott Lofton and wife, Lori, Mike Lofton and Jenice Ryland and husband, Randy; 8 grandchildren; 9 great grandchildren.
