In Loving Memory

Leroy Jackson Jr
August 19, 1958 — June 14, 2026
It is with profound sadness and a deep sense of loss that we announce the passing of Leroy Jackson Jr., a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend. Leroy passed away peacefully on June 14, 2026, at the age of 67. Born on August 19, 1958, in the close-knit community of Sylvester, Georgia, Leroy was the cherished son of Mary Ann Williams and Leroy Jackson Sr. He now joins his parents in eternal rest.
Leroy was a man who exemplified dedication and perseverance, committing 25 years of his life to his career as a professional truck driver with Werner Enterprises. His work was not just a means of providing for his family, but a testament to his steadfast dedication and unwavering commitment. Throughout his career, he built countless friendships and earned the respect and admiration of those he worked alongside.
Beyond his professional life, Leroy found joy and solace in the simple pleasures of life. He was an avid fisherman, often finding tranquility by the water's edge. Leroy's greatest joy, however, was derived from the time spent with his family and friends. His warm spirit, gentle wisdom, and loving nature endeared him to all who had the privilege of knowing him. He had an innate ability to bring people together, creating cherished memories that will be treasured forever.
Leroy's legacy is carried on by his devoted wife, Kimesha Jackson, who stood by his side through life's journey. He leaves behind his two daughters, NeKoshia and Kemaiya Jackson, who were the light of his life and whom he loved deeply. Leroy also leaves behind his dear sisters, Amanda Clark and Brittany Jackson, who shared in his life's joys and challenges.
Though our hearts are heavy with his loss, we find comfort in the legacy of love, strength, and dedication he has left behind. His presence will be missed, but the impact of his life will continue to resonate in the hearts of all who knew him.
A private funeral ceremony will be held to honor Leroy's life, respecting his wishes for an intimate farewell surrounded by his closest family. In addition, a memorial service celebrating Leroy’s life will take place on June 28, 2026. Family and friends are invited to gather, share memories, and pay tribute to a man who touched so many lives with his kindness and generosity.
As we say goodbye, we hold onto the special message from his family: "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 dearly missed, but never forgotten. May he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing to all.
