Jack Andrew Sprague

May 21, 1970 - October 13, 2019

Jack Andrew Sprague of Rapid City passed away holding his wife’s hand at his home in Kalkaska on October 13, 2019 after a 9-month long battle with esophagus cancer. He was born on May 21, 1970 to Roy and the late Joan Sprague. Jack is survived by his loving wife, Nicole Sprague and his two dogs, Sammy and Eggroll; his father, Roy Sprague; mother and father-in-law, Kelly and Richard Hines; brothers, John Sprague and Joseph (Sally) Sprague; sister-in-law’s, Linsey (James) Mallory and Miranda (Bryant) Lucyk; many nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly. Proceeding Jack in death was his mother, Joan (St. Clair) Sprague. Jack was known by so many as “Uncle Jack” because he treated everyone like family. He was notorious to those he met for his amazing sense of humor, his love for Marvel comics and admiration for animals. Some might say he was always quick with a joke and to light up a smoke, but there was someplace he’d rather be – at home with his wife Nicole and his babies, as he called his dogs. A memorial service will be held at 2pm on Saturday, October 19th at Kalkaska Funeral Home, 152 S. Cedar St., Kalkaska, Mi 49646. A luncheon will take place following the service at the Kal-Ho Lounge where Jack worked as a cook before his cancer diagnosis.
