My thoughts and prayers are with Jack's family and friends. He was a good friend to many and will never be forgotten.



Love in Christ's name,



With sincere and heartfelt sympathy,

I go by your place of rest every day to think about all you meant to me. I want you to know the rocks from the North Carolina mountains will be used for the fountain at the pond in the country. I will cherish the small things you made for me. I will always remember your Halloween decorations and especially the snowman you made for the pond at Christmas. You were such the artist. You were a master of many trades. I feel your spirit all around me. Stay with me, Jack. I cherish our time together. I know you have found your much needed peace and rest. You are in a better place. It is only the rest of us who are hurting and missing you every day. Thank you for being Jack.

To all of the family and friends of Jack-My deepest regrets on your loss. Peace be with you as it is now with Jack.

As I type this message, i am looking out the window at a bird feeder hanging in my tree. On one of Jack's trips here, he gathered sticks from my back yard and asked for a glue gun. In a few hours, we hung a truly original, log cabin bird feeder. He carved the wood, glued it and decorated it with moss, flowers, and buds from my yard. We used twine from his truck to hang it. There it hangs now, in a tree, in my yard. That bird feeder hangs as a symbol of the kind of man Jack was. He was love. Love is solid, sweet, deep and long. Love is nature, art, music. Love is hard and cold, as well as tender and gentle. It is free, open, right and wrong. Love lies dormant and spreads wide. Love is friendship and family, prayer, and spirituality. It is yesterday, today and tomorrow. Love is me-you-Jack-all of us. Love is always here and always there. In my heart and memory I hold Jack tight-as he always did me. He belongs to the Lord now, yet lives in the hearts of those that loved him-at sea, at rest. I love you Jack. Come to me in sleep to talk. NC Jenny

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I am terribly sorry for your loss. My brothers, Mike and Skip, both feel that they have lost a well loved brother. Jack will live on in their hearts and fond memories.

My prayers go out to the Naylor family. I have known Patrick and his family for years, even though we have not spoken in quite a few, your entire family is in my family's thoughts and prayers. If there is anything we can do for any of you, please do not hesitate to give us a call or drop us a line. Jack was a great and friendly man. Again, our deepest condolences.

I haven't been able to say my final goodbye. It's too hard to do. You were my friend and there are no words to express my sorrow.

I was sorry to hear of Jack's passing. We shared alot of good times together at Wando and the college years. He will be missed.

I never saw Jack without a smile...he could find humor in any situation, and lit up a room as soon as he entered it. Jack was so charismatic - no matter where he was, people wanted to be next to him. As much as Jack wanted to be everyone's friend - everyone wanted to be a friend of Jack. He'll be truly missed - and thought of with a smile often.

Jack was a bright light in this world and so much fun to be around. I have many fond memories of working for him at Crabby Jack's and getting to know him – learning from him. I always looked up to him like a big brother. My heart goes out to all of the Naylor family.

I am so sorry to hear about Jack. We went to Wando together and he was such a "Big Teddy Bear". He was always in a good mood and smiling. He will surely be missed.

Jack, you will be missed.

I had just recently met Jack through a mutual friend who was lost in the accident as well. Jack seemed like a sweetheart of a guy. So sorry to hear of his passing.

We had so many good times growing up. They always say that the good die young. Well in this case they were right. I know Jack is up in heaven teaching folks the right way to eat an oyster. To the whole Naylor family my prayers go out to you. We will all miss you Jack.

Jack definately lived life to the fullest. He never met a stranger and always had that big smile on his face. I will miss him very much. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

One of my best friends! You had so many gifts and taught me so much. I will miss you!

Jack built a dock for me. we became friends and I helped sell additional work for him. He did what he said he would do. I am saddened by the accident and saddened by his death. May he now have the peace he deserves.
