Jimmy Jackson, 89, of Ocala, went to his eternal home on December 21, 2022.
Jimmy was born on December 9, 1933, to James and Lila Jackson of Eastman, Georgia.
At a young age, he and his family moved to Ocala, where he lived most of his life. He enjoyed spending time with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He loved sharing his love for fishing, woodworking and working in his yard with his family. His greatest desire was that everyone would know the God he loved and served!
