John "Jack" Lokesak

John "Jack" Lokesak, 71, of Park Hills, KY passed away at St. Elizabeth Healthcare Edgewood on December 27, 2023  leaving behind a legacy of love, compassion, and dedication.  Jack had an illustrious career working for Cincinnati Milacron (et al) for 38+ years.  His passion and dedication were evident throughout his tenure, leaving a lasting impact on all those who had the pleasure of working with him.  Jack had an incredible ability to connect with people from all walks of life. He was a true people person who could strike up a conversation with anyone and make them feel special. His warm demeanor and kind heart left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered. Furthermore, Jack's larger-than-life personality made him a natural leader within his family.  As a devoted father, husband, and grandfather, Jack led his family with love and wisdom. After the passing of both of their parents, he took on the role of caretaker for his younger siblings until they reached adulthood. This act of selflessness epitomized Jack's character and solidified his position as a respected leader within his family. Outside of work and family life, Jack enjoyed pursuing various hobbies and interests. He was an avid coin collector and an active member of the Northern Kentucky Coin Club. Additionally, he was a retired Park Hills Fireman where he served 20+ years. He was a board of directors member for the Association of the United States Army, Major Samuel Woodfill Chapter.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Albert and Laverne Lokesak. 

Jack is survived by his wife of 51 years, Charlotte Lokesak, daughter Jamie Lynn (Jonathan Batemon) Lokesak; brothers Albert (Sylvia) Lokesak, Jim Lokesak, David (Kathy) Lokesak, Thomas Lokesak, Johnny (Andrea) Rogers; sisters, Anna Cox, Debbie Gabbard, Teri (John) Quatkemeyer; grandchildren, Holly Ann,  Savannah, Elvis, and great-grandson Shane. His memory will forever be cherished by his family and friends.
