William "Billy" Jackson Jr. Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Billy is survived by his sons; William Arthur Jackson III (Regina), granddaughter Tesia; Abraham Ludwig, granddaughters Emma and Ava. He is also survived by his sisters: Carla Wheeler (Craig), Ann Mitchell (Mark), brother Charles Jackson and best buddy Taz (his loving dog). His parents, Bill and Betty Jackson of Huntsville, precede him in rest. Billy was gentle and strong, he was kind and shy, and he was quiet; much like the forest that he loved to saunter through. Nature was his happy place and with his devoted dog by his side, walking through the woods seemed to be where he found peace and spiritual solace. His love of the woods guided him toward a lifetime career devoted to forestry management. Billy loved hunting and fishing, sports that were nurtured by his grandfather in Florida where he spent much of his childhood. He took his boys hunting with him whenever he had a chance. He loved going to his deer lease, which was his favorite home away from home. He was an avid arrowhead hunter and he had a beautiful collection that he proudly shared with his family. Being born in Florida, his love of land was equal to his love of water. He loved to fish, swim, scuba dive, snorkel, and kayak. Billy was fearless in his adventures and loved to share those adventures with his family and friends. Billy will be remembered as a wonderful father, brother, and friend.
