Billy Charles Jackson, 87, of Morristown, answered his call from Heaven on April 5, 2023.  Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Jim and Amanda Jackson; daughter, Rhonda Jackson, and one step-granddaughter, Susan Cashion Hamrick; seven brothers-in-law, Jesse Simmons, Junior Lawson, Carrol Guinn, Gene Crigger (Lavinea), Jesse Crigger (Faye), Bill Crigger (Nan), Bill Compton and Nellie, and his first wife, Hazel Kanipe.

He is survived by his wife, Helen Crigger Denton Jackson; sons, Joe Jackson (Kelly), David Jackson (Missy); sisters, Minnie Simmons, Louise Guinn, Glenda  Lawson; step-children, Connie Weems (Danny), and  Johnny Denton; brothers and sisters-in-law, Jack Wideman (Myrline), and Patsy Strange; grandchildren, Tabitha Jackson, Nicky Edwards (Rob); step-grandchildren, Ashley Irvin, Daniel Weems (Laura), Amber Coon (Daniel), Candy Moore (Jeremy), and eighteen great-grandchildren.

He was dearly loved.  Bill was a member of Calvue Baptist Church for over 50 years.  He loved good preaching and gospel music.  Bill was known for his love for the Lord and preached in surrounding counties.  He was saved at a young age at Cedar Grove Church where he also attended school.  Bill’s home was in the area and Cedar Grove left him many happy memories. He was filled with laughter, and joy and enjoyed flowers and making vegetable gardens.  Bill was a carpenter, roofer and owner and operated Jackson’s  Custom Slaughterhouse.  He created the “CHRISTMAS HILL” at his home, several years ago.  He only went through the 4th grade, but his home business and other endeavors were a success.  Bill was truly blessed.  He was a loving husband, father, brother, and papa. 

Many thanks to Amedisys Hospice.  They were such a blessing. Also, many thanks to two wonderful people, Mike Brotherton and Laura Shepard who helped so much during Bill’s sickness.

The family will receive friends from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm  Friday, April 7, 2023, in the East Chapel of Allen Funeral Home.  Services will follow at 7:00 pm with Reverends Terry Greene and Travis Bowden officiating.  Graveside services will be held 11:00 am Saturday, April 8, 2023, in Cedar Grove Cemetery in Russellville, TN.
