Before starting Precept, Kay and Jack served as missionaries in Mexico and were marred for 51 years until Jack passed away at the age of 90 in 2017. Together, they had one son, David, who assumed the role of Precept’s CEO in 2012. Prior to her marriage to Jack, Kay had two sons, Tom and Mark, from a previous marriage that ended before she gave her life to Jesus.
Her husband Jack, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, died in 2017 at the age of 90.
