Jack Thomas Kunz, 85, passed away on Wednesday, March 2, 2016, in Soda Springs, Idaho, of natural causes.

Jack was raised and educated in Soda Springs, graduating from Soda Springs High School. He served in the U.S. Navy. On August 16, 1950, Jack married his sweetheart, Karma Gunnell, in the Salt Lake Temple. To this union four children were born: Karin, Suzanne, Nancy and Tim.
Jack worked for Monsanto Company for 34 years. He was a true cowboy and enjoyed many hours on a horse working cattle. He kept an immaculate yard and was an avid Utah Jazz fan.

He served in many callings including Elders Quorum President, High Priest Group Leader, Bishop and Logan Temple Officiator. Jack loved his family and cherished spending time with them.
