warpedskydiver 0 #1 February 16, 2010 LT John "Jack" Lynch USN (Ret) SEAL, Class 29 President - UDT-SEAL Association It is with great sadness that the UDT-SEAL Association informs the membership about the passing of LT John "Jack" Lynch USN (RET), Class 29 and President - UDT-SEAL Association. Jack suffered a cardiac arrest due to arrhythmia on February 2, 2010. Jack's condition remained critical and unresponsive, requiring life support. Due to the severe brain damage which occurred as a result of the lack of oxygen during his cardiac arrest, and upon consultations with the attending physicians, the difficult decision to suspend life support was made by Jack's family.This decision was made due to a prognosis of little or no improvement in the quality of life, and the known wishes of Jack. Jack was removed from life support on Saturday, February 13th at 3:00pm and had been moved to a private room. He remained as comfortable as possible with his family at his side. The care Jack had been receiving from the medical staff at the hospital was of great comfort and support to the family. Jack completed his mission and reported for a new assignment yesterday at 4:20pm with his family at his side. Details regarding services will be forwarded as soon as they are available. The family respectfully requests in lieu of flowers, that donations be made to the Naval Special Warfare Foundation marked "Building Fund in memory of Jack Lynch".
