Sharing a carousel of clicks featuring throwback snaps, Jack penned, "Rest peacefully, James 'PJ' Ransone. I will miss you deeply. The crazy chats, the laughter, all of it."


He added, "I was so lucky to have called you my friend for 24 years. Damn, we had some wild times. I will always be grateful for you."
