It is with our heaviest and most heartfelt sorrow that we share the sudden and devastating loss of our leader, visionary, and dear friend, Jack Fanous. Jack was a remarkable force whose presence filled every space he entered, and whose impact extended far beyond the boundaries of his work and community. His life was defined by an unwavering dedication to serving others—whether supporting individuals in need, uplifting his colleagues, or offering his time, insight, and compassion to anyone fortunate enough to know him.
Jack approached every challenge with a rare combination of sharp intellect, bold creativity, and genuine humanity. Never one to accept outdated ideas or inefficient solutions, he often joked that he was “allergic” to doing things the wrong way. This mindset fueled his relentless pursuit of innovative approaches that improved lives, strengthened organizations, and inspired those around him to think bigger and do better. His commitment to excellence was matched only by the kindness and generosity that guided every decision he made.
To us, Jack was far more than a leader; he was a source of stability, encouragement, and joy. His energy was infectious, his vision transformative, and his friendship irreplaceable. As we face the days ahead, we will continue to look up to him—both figuratively and literally—carrying his lessons, honoring his values, and striving to preserve the legacy he built with such passion and heart. Rest in peace, brother. We love you, and we will carry you with us always.
