Jack, the son of Kermit and Olive Mae (Spurgeon) Horn, was born Sept. 2, 1936, in rural Davis County. He grew up in the Moulton area and graduated from Moulton High School. Jack served his country in the U.S. Army Reserves. Jack then moved to the Newton area where he began working at the Maytag Company. Mar. 13, 1971, Jack was united in marriage with Vicky Voshell in Des Moines. In addition to his 35 years at the Maytag Company, Jack was a lifelong farmer. He was also a member of the Community Heights Alliance Church.
Jack enjoyed fishing and taking annual trips to Canada. He also liked restoring antique tractors and going on tractor rides and to farm sales. Jack never met a stranger, and morning coffee with friends was a great time to sit and visit. Supporting his children and grandchildren in their activities was also a favorite pastime.
Jack is survived by his wife, Vicky Horn of Newton; two sons, James (Neisha) Horn of Newton and Joel (Arena) Horn of West Des Moines; his grandchildren, Jarret (Chania) Horn, Elizabeth Horn, Justin (Claire) Horn, Cadence Horn, Kaylee Horn, Isaac Horn, and Evan Horn; and great-grandchildren, Henry, Hattie, and Myles. He is also survived by his siblings, Gary Horn, Bryan Horn, Gordon Horn, Sheryl Lawson, Karen Evans, Illa Horn, Katherine Radck, Debra Montufar, and Corliss Howard and their families.
Jack was preceded in death by his parents; son Jeff Horn; and brothers David LaVerne Horn and Ronald Stewart Horn in infancy.
