As he valued the teachings and culture of the Cherokee Nation, he passed along his knowledge to the girls and bestowed upon them his special names. The following were written for him by them and were read to him before his passing Friday afternoon. You were supposed to come home, but we didn't expect it to be so soon. All your struggles and hard work have finally paid off, you're home. We are glad you have made it home and you are safe with us. No, you did not come home to be with us, you have been taken to another home. You are in the home at which we will join you in the near future. As you are home now, you will kneel before your Prince, your King of Kings, and breathe the fresh air of a new and eternal life. Yes, we will miss you here physically, but we will not worry, for we know you are home. You are safe and with us, embedded like a precious jewel in the rockbeds of our hearts. You will save my spot and you will wait for me to arrive. When I finally have the blessed opportunity to kneel before Our Maker, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and am able to roam the golden streets of Heaven, I will find you. In a beautiful garden, I will find you, with the sun shining as bright as your love, and I will take your hand and as a little girl I will match my step with yours as you lead me through new and beautiful places as you have so many times before. I love you Granddaddy, Little Sparrow "a-ya a-da-ga-ue ne-hi e-ni-si" ("I love you, Grandfather.") Little Miss Must-Know-Everything.

Born in Roanoke on December 10, 1947, he was the oldest of five children of the late William "Robert" and Clara Jackson. Jack was a sweet-hearted and kind soul who never met a stranger and always made those around him feel welcomed and loved. In addition to his parents, Jack was preceded in death by his sister, Betty Harless. Left to cherish his life and memory are his devoted and loving wife, Wanda Jackson; stepdaughters, Angela Morris (Joseph) and Christine Bennett (Robin); and grandchildren, Joseph Bennett (Renée), Kassondra Ramirez (Glen), Alixandra Dean (Nenad Savanovic), Zachary Morris, and Anthony Morris.

Jack entered the workforce as a very young man at Merita Bakery of Roanoke, and then after a year, he started his long 43-year career at Southern Varnish, which became Reliance Universal and then Akzo Nobel. He made lifetime friendships during his time there and kept in touch with many friends after his retirement. Jack loved the beach and enjoyed vacations with his family. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends watching NASCAR racing and Virginia Tech Football games. "Go Hokies!" was his farewell when wrapping-up a conversation. He could always be counted on to watch the games and root for his team, no matter the outcome. Jack was always ready for the next cook-out or birthday party to share in fellowship with friends and family, and he could always be found where the sweet tea, deviled eggs, mac-n-cheese, and sweets were found. Jack was an outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was an expert marksman and competed in numerous marksman events around Virginia including at the Roanoke Rifle and Revolver Club, of which he was a lifetime member. He enjoyed supporting educators during Hunter Safety Education courses in Roanoke for many years, and he was an advocate for the Virginia Hunters for the Hungry program. Christmastime was Jack's favorite time of year, and he held the Spirit of Christmas and Giving all year long. We ask that those who loved him keep him in their thoughts and prayers this Christmas and celebrate this time of year with the kind of joy he had for Christmas in his heart.

She was famous for her ‘Cilla’s Éclair Cake and ‘Cilla’s Sweet Tea. Priscilla’s upbeat and positive nature throughout her life was truly inspiring. She rarely spoke to others about her health issues or allowed others to support her. She would always say that she was fine and that there were many others much worse off than she. She always had a smile and a laugh to share among us. A few of her favorite things in life included her family and friends, but also music, dancing, movies, racing, and football (Go Vols!). She often shared her stories about getting in trouble with her cousins and her sister, Wanda, when they were young children. Oh, and she loved Sam Elliott!
