James Alexander Jackson Sr.'s Obituary
James Alexander Jackson Sr, 75 of Burlington, Ohio went to be with our Heavenly Father on Sunday May 21, 2017. James was born to the late William and Lela (Phillips) Jackson of Huntington, WV. James spent a big part of his career as a laborer and supervisor for The Steel of WV. James retired early due to health reasons and spent a big part of his spare time sharing stories, smoking cigars and offering words of advice. James is survived by his wife Betty and children Lisa Jackson, Tamara Ferrell, James Jackson, Jr., Valerie Newstrom (Bob), Jeff Jackson (Nardine), Brian Jackson and Andrea Payton (Barry), grandchildren, Brent (BJ), Justin, Nekita, Dezarae, Elijah, Isaiah, Nakailey, Henry, Jeremiah, Morgan, Canaan and Reagan and great grandchildren Jayden and Javon. Siblings, William "Son" Jackson, Freddie Hardy, Constance Beaver (Frank). He is preceded in death by siblings Virginia Watkins, Samuel Jackson and Lucy Jackson. James was also abundantly blessed with cousins, nieces and nephews. The family requests privacy as they lay their beloved "Fuzzy" to rest. God's Garden God looked around His garden, and found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you, and lifted you to rest, God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "Peace be thine." It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. ~Author: Unknown We love you Dad.
