March 17, 1950 - November 27, 2019

Claremont, NH John “Jack” N. Freak, 69 of Claremont, NH left this world peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, on November 27, 2019 after a brief battle with cancer. Jack was born on March 17, 1950 to the late John E. and Beverley J. (Chevrier) Freak in Palmer, MA. He was raised in Croydon, NH with his brothers and sisters and graduated from Newport High School in 1969. He worked at Joy Foundry and Mikros Manufacturing. Jack had an infectious smile and made friends wherever he went. He had an incredible love for nature. He could often be found ice fishing on Rocky Bound Pond, boating on the Connecticut or hunting in the woods of NH. He loved to play pickle ball and wanted to teach anyone and everyone the joy of the game. He was a devoted Christian and felt that his family was his greatest blessing. Jack is predeceased by his parents and his brother, Jeffrey “Buffy” Freak. He is survived by his sons, Shawn of Hartland, VT and Scott of Prior Lake MN; his siblings, Bev Clayton of Croydon NH, Briar Freak and his wife Shery of Errol NH, Val Rissala of Newport NH and Sara Hastings of Grantham NH; grandchildren Cole, Jenna, Camdyn and Aidan; lifelong family friend, Marshall Thomas, who had many adventures with Jack and made the long trip from Kentucky to be with him during his final days; his dear friend, Marge Rock, who was a tremendous support throughout his illness; his many nieces, nephews and friends who will all miss him dearly. He also leaves his little dog, Ivy, who was always by his side. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Grace River Church, 56 Main Street, Claremont NH on December 21, 2019 from 11-1pm.
