On Jack’s Heavenly Birthday this year, we joined Councillor La Keisha Jackson and Pathway Resource Center at their Annual Far East Side Community Peace Walk. We were united in our shared mission of opposing gun violence and promoting peace in Indianapolis. We walked for peace and the healing of our wounded city. It was a privilege to be among civil, faith, and community leaders who advocate for a safer city free of gun violence. We look forward to building partnerships with these leaders so that together we can create peaceful change in our city, one life at a time.

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!
