Jack was a professor and plant geneticist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture at University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 2008 he took on a position with the USDA in Logan, Utah.

Jack leaves behind his wife Frances Staub, his daughter Kodie Staub, his sister Sonny Raasch, and many other family members who loved him deeply.

Jack will be forever remembered for his kindness, his hard work, his devotion to his family and his deep love for others. He had a strong belief and devotion to God and dedicated his life to becoming as close to him as possible. He truly was an incredible example to his daughter, his friends and family.
