Jack Emmitt Schallock, infant son of Marcus and Emily Schallock, passed peacefully on December 29, 2024 at North Mississippi Medical Center Women’s Hospital in the arms of his loving parents.

He was preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Allen and Glenda Schallock, Rhudy Wilemon, George and Nancy Wiltshire and Hoyt and Betty Webster.
A graveside service for family and close friends will be held on Saturday, January 4, 2025 at 3 p.m. at Belmont City Cemetery with Bro. Earl McAnally officiating. Deaton Funeral Home, Belmont, MS, will be in charge of the arrangements.
