In today’s complicated world, it’s hard to find the time to slow down and truly enjoy life. Most of us allow outside influences to determine how we live each day, not Jackie. Jackie lived a simple life that embraced family, farming, and friends. Although he retired from Reynolds at the age of 48, Jackie never stopped working. Jackie is known best for working hard, loving hard and playing hard. Jackie spent his last day reflecting on how proud he was of his family, how grateful he was for the life he lived and left this world with a full heart and no regrets.
Pallbearers will be Brian Harris, Marty Owens, Joel Baggett, Scott Smith, Rocky Beck, and Tab Beck.
Honorary pallbearers will be Charles Rickard and Roy Jackson.
