Robert Lee Jackson

Robert came from a very large family and knew first hand the importance of cherishing your loved ones. He was a dedicated husband, a devoted father, and great friend. Thanks to his gentle and friendly nature, Robert was immensely liked by everyone he came into contact with. His coworkers respected him for the hard work and dedication he provided while caring for his loved ones. In his free time, he enjoyed fishing among the beautiful bayous or being beaten at cards with the two 'cheaters' in his life. He also found joy in watching wrestling on tv, either at his home or another loved ones home. Most importantly though, Robert was a special man. A special husband, special dad, and special friend. His loved ones will forever keep his memory in their heart and take pride in knowing he believed in his Savior.
