Born May 16, 1944, in Winston-Salem, NC, he was the son of the late Jack D. Thrasher and Mildred Lucille Kiger Thrasher.
Jack was retired from Duke Energy with 30 years of service. He was a "jack of all trades" and an antique car enthusiast. He was very patriotic, loved to garden and collect vinyl albums. He was a life-time member of Salem Baptist Church in Lincolnton where he worked specifically with the youth and sang in the church choir for over 40 years.
