Jack Pinnix committed suicide last week.
I didn’t know Jack that well. He was the husband of a woman, Stephanie who I mentored for awhile. Her amazing business story was in my book. Jack suffered from manic depression but refused to seek treatment. Life one night last week just got to difficult for him. While on a business trip, he rented a car in New York, drove to Connecticut and walked into the ocean.
Jack was Teacher of the Year four years in a row at Chicago State University. He loved his family. They will miss him.
