This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Jack K. Ayres
October 21, 1931 – April 05, 2022
Jack K. Ayres, resident of Hammond, LA, passed away Tuesday, April 5, 2022 at his home. Jack was born October 21, 1931 in Knoxville, TN.. He was 90 years old at the time of his death. Jack was blessed with a beautiful and full life. He served his country in the Air Force. He was an entrepreneur, and that was easy to see as he was the owner of Ayres Men’s Clothing in Market Square, Knoxville, TN., as well as a diner on the UT campus, an appliance store, and dry cleaners. Jack was always looking for the next adventure. He loved the Lord and the opportunity to serve Him, and he did so as a deacon and Sunday School teacher at Macedonia Methodist Church in Knoxville. He also sang in a gospel quartet. Jack loved to sing, he would sing anytime/anywhere. To hear him suddenly break out in song was a daily occurrence. Jack truly loved life. He loved people and absolutely never met a stranger. He was loved by many and will be deeply missed. He is survived by his loving wife, Mary E. Kyzar Ayres of Hammond, Louisiana; daughter, Kathy Ayres Fox, Knoxville; son in law, Mike Fox, Knoxville; daughter, Karen Ayres Conway, Knoxville; son, Kenneth A.
