Gordon Benjamin Jackson

JEFFERSONVILLE, GA - Ben Jackson, 63, passed away November 5, 2022.

A private memorial service for immediate family will be held at a later date.

Born May 4, Ben was a devoted husband, father, and brother.  He was preceded in death by his parents, Gordon Jackson, M.D. and Virginia Jackson.  Survivors include his wife Renee Jackson, Son Nolan (Tabitha) Jackson, Sisters Merrill (Stephen) Carter and Ginger (Bob) Leftwich.

Ben was an adventurer.  He started enjoying the outdoors at an early age and carried that joy throughout his life. Camping, hiking, hunting, and fishing were the things he loved to do.  Ben worked as a fishing guide in Alaska, a turkey hunting guide, a park ranger, and so much more.  He was retired from the Warner Robins fire department.

Ben was a teller of stories.  His story telling skills were not something you would have wanted to miss, they were stories that came to life for everyone who was gathered to listen. The stories of his adventures will live on forever with his friends and loved ones.

The most important job he had was loving and caring for his family and he did it well.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association or your favorite charity.
