He will be sadly missed by his family, friends and those who knew him from the School.

We are conscious that some people from the time when Jack was at the School may not be in contact with us and we would ask if you could pass on this information to those that you know.

As is the usual practice, we would like to place an obituary for Jack in the 2023-24 OI Journal and would be very grateful for any stories or memories you may wish to share which we could put together for the publication. Please address any contributions to me through oldipswichians@ipswich.school.

I was devastated to hear the news having spent the majority of my time at Ipswich School in the same year as Jack. Jack made my drama GCSE the most fun and hilarious times and created hilarious memories for me. We were paired together for our GCSE and performed a dialogue from The Importance of Being Ernest and I cannot express the amount of laughs we had together. Such a fab actor!

Sending all my thoughts and prayers to his family,

Cecile Arscott (OI 2014-21)

I was deeply saddened to hear the news. I taught Jack in the Lower Prep, in Year 2 and his beaming smile and infectious enthusiasm for subjects made him a joy to teach.

He always strolled in, trousers slightly too short, as he seemed to grow in stature and confidence as the year progressed.

I shall always remember him, he was a gentle, kind friend to all.

My love to his family.
