John “Jack” Whedon Slater, 76, of Linville Falls, N.C. and Davenport, Fla., passed away on Aug. 24, 2020.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Leona and Whedon Slater, of Bloomington, Ill.; his brother, James Slater, of Longboat Key, Fla.; and his daughter, Meghan Slater, of Asheville, NC.
He is survived by his wife, Diane Slater, of Linville Falls, NC and Davenport, Fla.; his daughter, Stephanie Slater-Hessenflow and wife Suzi Hessenflow; step-sons, David Woodard and wife Lewina, and Trevor Woodard and wife Michelle, as well as many grandchildren and a great-grandson.
Jack was a loving, kind, and gentle man. He loved his family, friends and his church and he never met a stranger. He could often be found working in his garden, which he took great pride in and always shared the bounty of his hard work with neighbors and friends alike. Jack passed in a tragic accident, but he was doing what he loved for those he cared about, sharing what he had with others. He will be greatly missed by so many.
