Those left to cherish his memory include his daughter LaDonna Browning and her husband Brad and granddaughters Emily and Madison Browning. He is also survived by his special chosen grandson and family, Steven Hicks and wife Kallie and daughters Emma and Laura Hicks. He was affectionately known as Pop or Popsicle to his girls.

Jack was preceded in death by the love of his life, Emma Lee in 2000 and brothers Lee Ramsey, Millard Ramsey, Willard Ramsey, John Ramsey, Fredrick Ramsey, Bill Ramsey, Don Ramsey and sisters Geneva Bradshaw and Jeanette Chapman.
He retired from the Morganton Department of Public Safety in December 1993 and spent many of the following years delivering prescription medicines for Burke Pharmacy, which he so loved as he was able to spend his time on the road and visiting those in need. He was a good friend to many and will be missed.
