James Jackson, 50, passed away on March 18, 2025. He was a hardworking and dedicated long-haul truck driver whose life was spent traversing the nation's highways. Born on December 16, 1974, James found his calling on the open road, taking pride in his profession and the important role he played in keeping goods moving and communities connected.
Known for his strong work ethic and kind-hearted nature, James was admired by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His stories of life on the road were as vast and colorful as the landscapes he drove through, and his presence brought joy to those around him.
James is survived by his two daughters and son, Tabitha Jackson of Indiana, Juliette Garcia of San Antonio, Texas and Austin Jackson of Indiana; three sisters and three brothers, Sandra Harrison of Tiptonville, Tennessee, Donna Ingle of Martin Tennessee, Crystal Jackson of Dresden, Tennessee, Greg Jackson of Arlington Texas, Paul Jackson of Hamilton, Ohio and Josh Jackson of Tullahoma, Tennessee; two sisters-in-law, Linda Jackson of Arlington, Texas and Makayliah Jackson of Tullahoma, Tennessee; and one brother-in-law, Tim Ingle of Martin, Tennessee. He also leaves many other family members and friends who will sadly miss him. James was a beloved father, son, brother, and friend who valued his relationships deeply and always made time for those he cared about.
