The visitor was a family employee of over 30 years, whose presence immediately signaled something terrible had happened.
“When I saw him, I knew something bad had happened,” Jack admitted, his voice breaking.
He was then informed that his father had passed, a moment that hit him like a tidal wave.
“So many thoughts,” Jack said, pausing to process the sudden grief and shock.

“He wasn’t just a father to me, he was my colleague in countless projects,” Jack explained.
Jack recounted moving back in with Ozzy during a transitional period in his life, describing it as a unique bonding experience.
“Me and the kids were living there too. He was just a friend, a text buddy, a joke cracker,” he added.
Jack reflected on the depth of his relationship with his father, calling it “great” despite Ozzy’s famously complicated personality.
“He was funny, weird, awkward, clumsy, hilarious, and insightful,” Jack said, a smile breaking through his grief.
Ozzy, even in his final months, knew what was happening around him and understood how the public perceived him.
Jack admitted there was a sense of “perfection” to his father’s passing, as so much had been accomplished before the final goodbye.
He revealed the overwhelming outpouring of support from fans and the showbiz world had left him shocked and grateful.
“We saw it all. It meant so much… it was validating because we weren’t alone,” Jack said, voice wavering.
Jack teased more behind-the-scenes tales from Ozzy’s final days, saying he will share them “when the time is right.”
