Andrew Jackson (Jack) Airheart, Jr., 90, of Roanoke, Va. died at his home surrounded by his family on Monday, August 11, 2014 following a brief illness.
Jack was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew Jackson Airheart and Posye Burgess Airheart and his half sisters, Madolyn Airheart Ould and Hazel Airheart Jamison.
Jack was born and raised in Roanoke and a graduate of Augusta Military Academy (high school) and Virginia Tech (Mechanical Engineering degree). He served in World War II in the United States Air Force. He retired from General Electric in Salem, Va. following a 30 year career as a Manufacturing Engineer in GE's Drive Systems Department.
Jack was a long time, active member of Second Presbyterian Church where he served as a Deacon, an Elder, a Sunday School teacher and an avid participant of Bible study. His church family was indeed his second family. He was a member of the Order of St. Luke. Jack believed in giving back to his community and was an active volunteer with Meals on Wheels, the Presbyterian Community Center and RAM House. Jack's most important role in his life was being a devoted husband, father and grandfather.
