Jackie Dean Cain, 71, of Pleasant Groves passed away on Saturday, August 3, 2024 at his home. He got ready for this journey when he received the Holy Ghost on July 17, 1981 at a Friday night singing at Nila Holiness Church. He was a member of Pleasant Grove Holiness Church for 43 years, but was raised there all of his life.
Jackie was born August 18, 1952 to Fletch and Vicie Cain, the 13th of 14 children. Jackie had a desire to make it, but even more so when his loving wife of 48 years, Deveda, died on January 13, 2021. There is a pink rose in the blanket that signifies their devotion. He loved her dearly.
Left to mourn is his son Jonathan. They traveled a lot of miles together going to singings. Jackie loved meeting people and played the bass guitar for several holiness groups since about the age of 18. Over the years, He also developed a skill for the acoustic guitar playing at Christmas programs, weddings and funerals.
He worked at Lozier for over 30 years, retiring early due to his health declining. After that, he worked at Walmart putting bicycles together. One of his favorite things to do was to call in to “partyline” almost every day. People who listened regularly to this radio broadcast knew when Jackie got on the line. Sometimes he would just make a funny comment or sell an item, but he enjoyed calling in other people’s birthdays, hoping they would a win prize. He enjoyed making others laugh and feel good.
