marosa released a statement about her brother: “We thank everyone for their amazing outpouring of support surrounding the tragic death of my brother Jack…Right now it is an extremely difficult time and we ask that you allow family privacy to grieve and make all necessary arrangements…
“My brother was so special to us! We loved him unconditionally and we were so proud of him when he turned his life around and gave his life to God two years ago.”

He also was convicted of obstructing official business in 2003 and had been arrested for possession of drugs, carrying a concealed weapon and illegal possession of a weapon.â€
