Jack Blewett Obituary
Jack Norman Blewett, age 78, of Lakeland, Florida, passed away on September 21, 2026. He was born on September 14, 1948, in Durham, North Carolina, and lived a life marked by service, devotion, and quiet strength.
Jack was a proud veteran of the United States Navy and served as a submariner, a role he carried with deep pride throughout his life. His time in the Navy helped shape the steady, resilient character for which he was known. He honored his service not only through his words, but through the way he conducted himself every day, with dignity, discipline, and a deep respect for country and duty.
Jack was a Christian and loved the Lord. He was a long-time member of Gibsonia Baptist Church, where his faith was an important part of his life.
Those who knew Jack will remember him as a man of warmth and integrity. He valued family above all else and found great meaning in the relationships he built and nurtured over the years. He was a devoted husband to his wife, Martha Blewett, with whom he shared 13 years of marriage until her passing in January of 2022. Their life together was filled with companionship, love, and mutual devotion, and the bond they shared remained an important part of Jack's heart.
Jack was also a loving father to his daughter, Denise Sparks, and he took great pride in the family they shared. He was preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Blanche Blewett, whose memory he carried with him throughout his life. He is also survived by his siblings, Jill Humphrey and David Blewett, who shared in his family's history and held a special place in his life. Jack was a proud grandfather to Brittney Ryan and Brianna Gold, and a loving great-grandfather to four great-grandchildren.
In addition to his service and devotion to family, Jack had a lifelong love of fishing. He found peace and happiness on the water, where he could enjoy the simple pleasures of time well spent and the quiet beauty of nature. Fishing was more than a pastime to him. It was a source of comfort, reflection, and enjoyment, and it gave him many cherished moments over the years. Whether he was sharing stories, spending time with loved ones, or enjoying the outdoors, Jack appreciated life's meaningful and uncomplicated pleasures.
Jack's life reflected the values of loyalty, perseverance, and love. He will be remembered for his proud military service, his devotion to his family, and the steady presence he brought to those around him. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him, especially in the stories, lessons, and memories he leaves behind.
He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all whose lives he touched.
