AMENDE, Jack Walter Forever husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend, Jack Walter Amende of Rocklin, Calif., passed away peacefully in his home with his family on Friday, June 25, 2010, at the age of 63. Affectionately referred to as Lightnin', Tumbleweed, Bunk, Dad, and Papa, Jack led a life rich with adventure, family, friendship, and, of course, spontaneity. With seemingly endless interests and passions including nature, golfing, the stock market, poker, art, and community, Jack challenged life itself to keep up with him. Always willing to lend a hand, his strength of character, drive and indiscriminate appreciation and compassion for others have always been testimony to his incredible personal integrity. A master storyteller, Jack captivated his family and friends with a lifetime of games, jokes, tricks, travels, pranks, and schemes that otherwise kept everyone on their toes. He leaves them with a novel of such experiences and stories to share, and dares each of them to ''Let it Ride...''
He is survived by his wife and best friend of 40 years Jo Ann, his daughters Heathar Amende and Marshalle Graham and her husband Jeff Graham; two grandchildren, Greyson and Audrey Graham. He is also survived by his mother Vira Amende, his brother Michael Potjer; his sister Jeri Robbins, and her husband Gary Robbins, as well as extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by his mother, Barbara Potjer and his fathers Robert Amende and Albert Potjer.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, July 8, at 2 p.m. at Adventure Christian Church, 6401 Stanford Ranch Road in Roseville, Calif. Published in The Sacramento Bee on July 4, 2010 | | |
