Jack Lee Gulzow, Jr. lived his life to the fullest. Born August 27, 1982, in Denver, CO, Jack was a carefree and loving child. His activities included hockey, baseball, fishing, camping and other sporting events. Participating in Boy Scouts, he genuinely helped everyone he could in any way he could. As a teenager, he dedicated his life to God at Landmark Tabernacle in Denver. Upon graduating from Bear Creek High School in 2001, he attended Westwood College focusing on telecommunications. He worked for MCI and Comcast for eight combined years excelling at every opportunity. The summer of 2003 Jack unexpectedly met Jerusha Goetsch. They were married on the Third of September, 2005 and began sharing their lives together in Denver, CO. For three years they enjoyed making new friends, working hard, and focusing on church and family. In October 2008 Jack and Jerusha moved to Hot Springs, SD, to minister to those in need. He became pastor of the Pentecostal Church of Hot Springs in April 2009 and licensed with the United Pentecostal Church International in June 2009.
