Jack Edward Horstman, 65, passed peacefully Aug. 25, 2022.

Jack was born Feb. 20, 1957, in Kalispell to Forrest “Frosty” and Shirley (Wisherd) Horstman, joining sister Vicki, with siblings Kim, Dawn and Brett soon to follow.

In 1977, Jack joined his father in the family trucking business, Horstman Trucking. They hauled bulk cement for lifelong family friends, Delbert and Gary Wilken of McElroy and Wilken.

Jack married Hope S. Nesten Jan. 31, 1981, divorcing after 30 years. To this union they were blessed with loves of their lives, their three amazing children, Travis Matthew, Justin Leigh and Shannon Ann.

In 2010, Jack moved to Washington and spent the next 12 years on Lummi Island. Fishing and woodworking took up a majority of his time. He will continue to live on through his beautiful creations and those who loved him dearly.

Jack was preceded in death by his father Frosty in 2007, sister Dawn in 2012, and brother Brett in 2013.

Jack is survived by his children, Travis (Rachel), Justin (Amber) and Shannon (Sam); his grandchildren, Jason, Brody and Arianna; his mother, Shirley; sisters, Vicki (Wayne) Wray and Kim (Frank) Ortenzio; along with numerous other family members.

The family will have a celebration of his life next summer at a date to be announced.
