Jackie VanWinkle Obituary
Apr 14, 1958 - Jan 9, 2025
Vermillion
Jackie "Jack" VanWinkle, 66, of Vermilion, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly at his home Thursday, January 9, 2025, following a sudden illness.
Born April 14, 1958, in Norton, Virginia, Jack moved to Vermilion two years ago after living in Berlin Heights.
Jack graduated from Edison High School in 1976 and proudly served in the National Guard before embarking on a career in construction. For the past eight years, he was a dedicated employee of Ford Motor Company and an active member of Local UAW 2000.
Jack found joy in gardening, landscaping, boating, fishing, and music. In his younger years, he excelled in sports, particularly football, and remained a passionate sports fan throughout his life. Jack was always eager to keep busy and could often be found tinkering in his garage. Above all, he cherished time with his family, especially his beloved granddaughters, who affectionately referred to him as Pop and Poppy.
Jack leaves behind his devoted wife of 38 years, Lisa (nee Harmon) VanWinkle of Vermilion; his children, Stacy VanWinkle of Monroeville, Nikki VanWinkle of Strongsville, Justin VanWinkle of Vermilion, and Mallori VanWinkle of Vermilion; grandchildren, MaKenzie, Ariana, and Daven; his siblings, Denise Wedeman, Sonia (Roger) Dancy, Tami (Tommy Litz) Ortman, and Donnie (Joella) VanWinkle; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, close friends, and extended family.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Jack E. and Zere (nee Caudill) VanWinkle; and his sister, Jodi Salmons.
Family and friends are invited to gather from 4 p.m. until the time of the funeral service at 6 p.m. Monday, January 13, 2025, at Riddle Funeral Home, 5345 South Street, Vermilion.
