Elijah Jackson Guin, known to all who loved him as Jack, passed on to our Lord on July 6, 2020. Jack was born on June 16, 1925 in Jacksonville, Texas. He lived most of his life in Vivian, Louisiana with his beloved wife Flora, who preceded him in death in 2017.

To his beloved family he will always be remembered as a devoted father and grandfather, and great missed.
