JACK EDWARD FLOROS (JESS) (Yup-Yup)

Jess Floros, a devoted husband, father and grandfather, went home to Heaven on 3/29/26 after watching a Palm Service worship service. He died peacefully at his home under Hospice Care and his devoted wife, Mary.

Jack (Jess) was the son of Peter and Pheobe Smith, a brother, Robert, nephew Randy and a daughter Jackie, all who predeceased him. Also predeceasing him, father- in - law and mother- in -law, Louis and Patsy Smith.

He is survived by his constant companion and loving wife, Mary, two cats, Merlot and Vinny, sons Terry and Scot Floros; sister -in -law, Gloria Floros, Nephew Craig (Patti) Floros, Todd (Heather ) Floros, son in law, Mark Horsch, sister and brother -in -law Martha (James) Buck, brother- in law and sister-in-law Matt (Marie) Smith and granddaughter, Shanda (Kyle) Wheeler. Multiple great grandchildren, who he loved dearly.

He enjoyed talking to everyone about University of Michigan sports (especially during the football season) and watched them play whenever he could. His favorite expression around the great grandchildren when asked if he wanted to do something was “yup-yup”. (He was usually game for anything).

He loved to golf and had a hole in one August 16, 1992 at Lakeland Hills Golf Course, Hole number 3, 120 yards, for which he received a certificate from the National Hole in One Association that he was proud of. Before the pain in his knees became unbearable, he loved to travel and spent his time on golf courses in Florida.

He graduated from Jackson High School and then went into the military serving in the 82nd Airborne, stationed in Korea. He was involved in many jumps, once having to use the emergency chute, which ultimately led to extreme pain in both knees. He was honorably discharged from the Army with a Parachutist Badge, National Defense Service Medal.

He retired from Clark Equipment as a Production Control Engineer and then did various jobs including security at Comerica Bank and W.A. Foote Memorial Hospital as a security officer. 36 years ago, Jess married the love of his life, Mary, with whom he shared a beautiful journey filled with love, laughter and countless memories. Jess and Mary met while working at W.A. Foote Memorial hospital. They attended Cascades Baptist Church, and were able to tune in online when Jess was no longer physically able to attend.

Donations can be made to Cascades Human Society, Cascades Baptist Church or the Michigan Heart Association.
