Remembering Jack Yantis. “( Amazing Grace) That song comes from a packed memorial service held for rancher Jack Yantis. who we all know by now met tragedy when he went out to investigate a bull that had been hit by a car in Council, Idaho. Words from Pastor David Poor… upon reflection I realized I will always remember about Jack is his smile… from good friend Troy Schwartz…. the last time I saw Jack and Donna, I was home irrigating and I had a little time off so I decided I would run up and see Jack and Donna and that was this fall…. emotional words from long time friend and colleague of mine Steve Ritter… Jack loved the Council Valley, he rarely ventured from it and I think he's looking down today…. and words from his daughter Sara who, with her sister, made home made shirts for Jack… I remember my dad asking me to make him a shirt and I collaborated with my sister and made the best shirt we could possibly make.”
