      He was preceded in death by his parents, Hub and Mary Lively, sister, Delores Fleshman; brother, Jim Lively; grandson, Michael Heaster; and sons, William J. Lively Jr., and Jeffrey D. Lively.

      Those left to cherish his memory are his loving wife for 63 years, Barbara J.

      Jack was a coal miner, until a tragic mining accident took that ability from him.
      He was a member of Sewell Valley Baptist Church where for years he drove the church van and the school bus, and taught Sunday School. He also coached the RCA soccer teams. Jack loved the outdoors and children everywhere. His most recent love was his Golden Doodle, Harper, who went everywhere with him. She was at his side until the end.
