Broad Ripple Park Clean Up & Jack's 25th Birthday Party at Blind Owl Brewery
April 25, 2021
On Sunday, April 25, 2021, the Warriors for Peace celebrated Jack Shockley’s 25th birthday. The day began at 8:00 at Christ the King Catholic Church, where Father Todd said the Mass, which was offered in Jack’s memory. After Mass, the Warriors served the community by cleaning up a stretch of roadside at Broad Ripple Park, near the tennis courts where Jack played so often. That afternoon, we celebrated Jack’s birthday with food and drink and friendship at the Blind Owl Brewery. It was an almost perfect day. Though we missed Jack’s physical presence and good humor, we felt his spirit with us the entire day. Happy 25th Birthday, Jack!
