As we weave our way through Bauer Family lineage, today we will draw our attention to one of the most interesting members of our family, Jack Bauer. 

Birthed in 2001, Jack Bauer, a young man of honor, has lived a tragic life in his short years on this earth. 

In a kidnapping attempt gone wrong, his wife was killed, but his daughter was spared, and then Jack was left to raise his daughter alone. 

Spiraling into endless grief, Jack largely spent a season of his life cooped up mourning the loss of his beloved wife, but his boss ultimately helped pull Jack from the depths of despair only to be killed himself in an airplane accident. 

Jack then hit rock bottom and fell into a serious heroin addiction. Jack, being the brave and tenacious man that he is, eventually kicked the heroin addiction but not before he was fired from his job. 

A short time later, Jack had to end things with his new boss in order to avoid being blackmailed which then led him to faking his own death. 

After 5 years of more perilous and indescribable events happening to Jack Bauer, he decided to lay low and pretty much vanish from thin air and America's air waves. 

Birthed in 1997, my cousin, Jack Bauer (yes, that's his real name), came well before the above-mentioned Jack Bauer of the TV show 24 and lives a vastly different life. 

The Jack Bauer we are detailing today is the only son of Wick McBauerson. He resides in New Jersey and works as a solutions analyst. He recently got a promotion! 

In his leisure, he enjoys rock climbing and cheering on the Mets and Knicks. A self-proclaimed movie buff, Jack is a law abiding citizen and an overall outstanding guy. 

Jack Bauer, largely avoiding the public eye, doesn't engage in social media content and has no earthly idea that Kyle or myself are speaking and blogging about him. 

And that's all we know about our younger cousin. 

This one time, years ago, we hoisted Jack Bauer up after he hit a shot at his middle school basketball game. This picture has gone down as lore in Bauer Family archives.

We have hit the end of the road, for now, of our Meet the Members of the Bauer Family sequence.

I'll perhaps be back later to touch on Bo Bo, although you can learn all about our instrument baby grandma in the hit podcast You Can't Handle the Truth. 

My mother deserves a blog on her own. Wick is someone you just have to meet in person. My three female cousins are super interesting. My cousin's husband was a child actor. We all know that I'll eventually have to blog the Fall of Doug Wanoy: The Man Who Flew Too Close to the Sun.
