A house RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE 
PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
UPON THE PASSING OF JACK DAVID PLATING OF GREENVILLE COUNTY AND TO EXTEND THEIR 
DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS LARGE AND LOVING FAMILY AND HIS MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives were saddened to learn of the death 
of Jack David Plating at the age of seventy-two on April 26, 2025; and

Whereas, born in Grand 
Rapids, Michigan, he grew up in a loving home with five siblings: brothers, 
Larry Plating, Steve Plating, and Tom Plating; and sisters, the late Marilyn 
Fisher and the late Cathy Dorchak; and

Whereas, he began his 
career of thirty-five years serving with Motorola C&E, Digital Paging, and 
A+ Communications; and

Whereas, in 1989, Mr. 
Plating moved to Greenville to join Metro Mobile, helping to lead the company 
through several mergers that ultimately shaped Verizon Wireless, where he 
served as chief operating officer (COO); and

Whereas, after retiring 
in 2010, he devoted his time to supporting new entrepreneurial ventures and 
connecting people through his work with SEARCH Ministries, continuing his 
lifelong passion for building relationships; and

Whereas, Mr. Plating 
built a life rooted in connection, leadership, and love. He had a gift for 
spotting talent in unexpected places and for seeing people exactly as they 
were. He was a force shaped by his dry sense of humor, big heart, and servant 
leadership; and

Whereas, he loved 
nothing more than spending time with family and friends, soaking up lake life, 
and mentoring others along their journeys; and

Whereas, together with 
his beloved wife of fifty years, Cindy, he reared three fine children: Jill 
Plating, Todd Plating, and Chris Plating. His children blessed him with the 
affection of five loving grandchildren: Caitlyn Peter, Emma Peter, Ashton 
Plating, Hattie Plating, and Wilder Plating; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and 
legacy of Jack Plating and for the example of warmth, drive, love of fun, and 
fierce loyalty he set for all who knew him. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express 
their profound sorrow upon the passing of Jack David Plating of Greenville 
County and extend their deepest sympathy to his large and loving family and his 
many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this 
resolution be presented to the family of Jack David Plating.
