Mr. Ryburn, 73, of Meridian, passed away Wednesday, April 28, 2021 at Anderson Regional Medical Center- South Campus of Meridian, MS, after a 15-year battle with cancer with his wife, Judy, by his side.

Jack’s early interest in technology led him to a career spanning over 40 years within the Information Technology Industry, primarily in the medical field, and ultimately retiring from LabCorp in 2014. His passions in life consisted of photography, reading, and listening to music, but none greater than spending time with his family, especially his beloved granddaughter Anna Claire.

Mr. Ryburn is survived by his wife, Judy Ryburn of 39 years; son, Steve Grace (Shawnda) and granddaughter Anna Claire Grace. One brother Scott Ryburn (Debbie Howard); sister’s-in-law Sharlotte Cornish, and Robin Douglas, as well as a host of nieces, and nephews.

Jack is preceded in death by his parents William B. and Margaret K. Ryburn; Father and Mother-in-law, Lon and Kathleen Douglas; and brothers-in-law, Bill Cornish, and Jack Douglas.

The Ryburn family suggest memorials be made as donations to The American Cancer Society in lieu of flowers.
