Obituary
John B. “Jack” Jarrett, III was born September 5, 1938 in Tulsa to John Byron Jarrett, Jr. and Gladys Jewel (Parrish) Jarrett. He passed from this life after a long illness Monday, March 9, 2015 at the age of 76.
Jack was co-founder with Luther Graham of Cust-O-Fab, Inc. and Infinity Enterprises. Jack made madcap history in business – his way. He helped to establish Limestone Bank (now American Heritage Bank) in Sand Springs, OK and was member of their Board of Directors. Jack also had a great interest in music and established M.S.P. (Music Sound Productions) and was co-owner of radio station KTOW. Likewise, he was one of the backers, with Junior Markham of The Paradise Club where many notable musicians performed, including Leon Russell and Willie Nelson.
Jack was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife, Ann; son and daughter-in-law, Mark and Kathy Jarrett, all of Tulsa. Jack had a good heart and helped so many people; he will be greatly missed.
The family will receive friends 5:00-7:00 PM Wednesday at Ninde Brookside Funeral Home. A graveside service will be held 2:00 PM Thursday at Memorial Park Cemetery.

Dear Ann and Mark, I'm sorry I just came across this and am not sure if you are even able to see this, but wanted to offer my condolences. Jack had a huge impact on my life and how I saw it. It's funny, here I am with 4 children now, the youngest being 2 1/2 years old, but I'm going back to school! I'm going in for a Masters of Science in Communicative Sciences and Disorders! Jack always made me feel like life was a joy and to enjoy as much as you can of it. I was super surprised to see the Obituary. That guy will definitely be remember by me and my children. I talk about times with you, Ann, and Jack and the interesting people that crossed our paths. I'm just bummed that I never got to pay him back for helping me buy that computer up in Alaska! Ann, I hope this letter finds you well. I have no idea how to contact you, or I would have said hi through the mail or email instead. I would love to send you a picture of my family. Take care, Love, Aimee

I did not get the privalege of knowing Jack on a personal level, but I have got to know him thru the stories, and the culture that I have come accustomed to in my 25 years of being with COF. Growing up in Sand Springs, and having the oportunity to go to work for Cust-O-Fab in 1990 under the direction of Berry Keeler I was quickly introduced to a culture that was always refered back to the founders Jack and Red. If you take care of your employees and your customers and do what you say sucess willl always follow. COF has served me and my family beyond my wildest dreams, and for that i have a great amount of graditute to MR.. Jack Jarrett. Jack is a great loss to COF, but believ me when I say his beliefs, stanama still lives within the culture of COF. I am very sorry for your loos Tony Phillips
