In Loving Memory of Leroy Jackson Jr. It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Leroy Jackson Jr., a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, who quietly departed this world on June 14, 2026, at the age of 67. Leroy, born in the charming town of Sylvester, Georgia, on August 19, 1958, was the cherished son of Mary Ann Williams and Leroy Jackson Sr., both of whom predeceased him. Leroy's journey through life was marked by an unwavering dedication to his family and his career. As a professional truck driver, he devoted 25 years of service to Werner Enterprises, where he was not only respected for his hard work and dedication but also admired for his warm spirit and wisdom. His colleagues remember him as a beacon of kindness and integrity, always willing to lend a hand or share a smile. Away from the open road, Leroy found joy in life's simplest pleasures. An avid fisherman, he spent many serene days by the water, casting his line and finding peace in nature's embrace. Yet, it was the time spent with family and friends that he treasured most. His home was a sanctuary of love and laughter, where stories were shared, and memories were made. His presence brought warmth to every gathering, and his love for those around him was palpable. Leroy's legacy is carried forward by his devoted wife, Kimesha Jackson, and his two daughters, NeKoshia and Kemaiya Jackson, who were the pride and joy of his life. He is also survived by his loving sisters, Amanda Clark and Brittany Jackson, whose bonds with him were unbreakable. Though he leaves behind no grandchildren or great-grandchildren, his spirit and values will continue to inspire those who remain. The family has chosen to honor Leroy's life with a private funeral ceremony, respecting his wishes for an intimate farewell. As they gather to celebrate his life, they find solace in the love that he bestowed upon them and the strength he instilled within them. In these moments of reflection and remembrance, the family shares a heartfelt message: "Though he is no longer with us, Leroy’s legacy of love, strength, and dedication will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him." Leroy Jackson Jr. will be deeply missed but never forgotten. His life was a testament to the power of love and the importance of cherishing each moment. May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace.
