Obituary

It is with deepest sorrow and regret that I need to inform you of the death of one of my own.
Jack Octavius Lantern
(A.K.A: Jack'O'Lantern) Born March 27th around 2:00pm At the Lowe's off River Road in St George, Little jack was the adoptive pumpkin of Ryanne and Jeremy
On July 5th, Jack was found dead in his home, at the age of 4.3 months(roughly mid forty pumpkin years) His death wasn't a complete shock, since Jack had a very long and brave fight with sun stroke ( apparently "natural" but were still waiting on the medical examiners final report)
Jack was pretty quiet, but was well educated having been read to, talked to, loved to dance when it was windy outside, and one of his favorite pass times was listening to the local musical talent of Ryanne as she sang to him (it was suppose to make him grow)

Jack'O'Lantern loved tricks, and could often be spotted growing towards the West one day, then magically switch 180 degrees and grow to the East...
LIKE MAGIC!
Jack is survived in death by his mother Ryanne, his Uncle Jeremy, His close friends and neighbors, Roma and Rizzo Tomato, as well as Frank and Abner Greenpepper (They lived in a very alternative and liberal section of the back yard) As well as his Cat (ill assume black) that although has never met the family, would often visit and leave "gifts" for Jack.
Jack was preceded in death by his sister, Patricia. Unfortunately Patricia died of the same debilitating sun disease, along with loneliness since Jeremy was absent for most of her life. "Daddy's little Pun'kn" is how her tombstone reads.
A small-almost-nonexistent service will be held October 31st, once the extended family is available.
cupcakes will be served-They were Jacks favorite, having started life in a cup
Had Jack O Lantern lived to his ripe age, he would have lit up our lives...and front porch
