John Anthony (Jack) Gibbons is Tommy Gibbons' second oldest child and one of only two children alive and present at the Dempsey-Gibbons fight in July 1923. Jack attended Notre Dame in South Bend, IN.

He is pictured (bottom of blog page) with his fiancé Marie Fandel. During the summer of 1941, Jack worked out west in the Glacier National Park in Montana.

During his stay at Glacier, Jack acquired a strep infection in his foot. An infection that would easily be treated today with antibiotics caused his death at the age of 21. His father and brother Richard were both at his bedside at the time of his death.
