Macon, GA- Jack Lane Caldwell, a lifetime resident and businessman of Macon, GA, passed July 29 at 86 years of age. Known for kindness, fairness, and great wit, his companionship and advice were sought among relatives, friends, and business associates.
Jack was born December 22, 1933 in Macon, Georgia, USA, and died July 29, 2020 in Macon, Georgia, USA. He attend and graduated from Lanier High School for Boys.

A warm and vivacious host, children from Hephzibah, Masonic and other childrens' homes were celebrated guests of honor in his College Street home every Christmas for several decades. Jack also enjoyed hosting the annual Caldwell family reunions at his river home.
An active and supportive member of First Baptist Church of Christ, Jack was a History Servant and enjoyed participating in events celebrating the shared history between congregations of both First Baptist Churches in Macon. At First Baptist, he was also a fan of children's activities and supported the church's English as a Second Language (ESL) program.

He is preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Cephus F. Caldwell Jr. ("Joe"), and Donald ("Don") Caldwell with whom he traveled the globe.
