Mr. Jack W. Gibson, age 80 of Port Huron, passed away Thursday evening at his home, surrounded by family after a courageous two year battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He was born February 27, 1936 in Chattanooga, Tennessee to the late Charles E. and Fina (Mann) Gibson. He moved to Michigan in 1954 and was a long time resident of Clinton Township where he was a member of the Lions Club before moving to Port Huron in 2001. Jack retired from General Motors Tech Center in Warren in 1998 after thirty years of service. Jack's top priority was the well being of his family, especially his five grandchildren, and he will be greatly missed. He loved all forms of transportation including cars, trains, and especially airplanes, and also studying and learning about historical events. He also proudly donated to the Humane Society.
