Jack Eaton, 80, of Indianapolis, Indiana passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday September 24, 2024. He was born on January 19, 1944, in Corbin, Kentucky to Rollie and Mae Eaton who preceded him in death.

Jack worked as a Metal Fabricator for over 30 years, and after 23 years he retired from Meijer at the age of 75.

Jack married the love of his life Joyce Ann Eaton, on July 15, 1963, and they spent 56 beautiful years together before her untimely passing on September 6, 2019. Jack enjoyed the simple things in life. He loved spending time in his garden growing vegetables for his family and friends to share.
