William “Billy” Jackson

William “Billy” Jackson, 52, passed away leaving behind a lifetime of love, friendship, and cherished memories.
He was born on May 17, 1974, in Zanesville, Ohio, son of the late James “Jim” Jackson Sr and Shirley (Harvey) Jackson.
Billy was an amazing father and a true friend to so many. He had a kind and welcoming heart and was the kind of person who never met a stranger. Billy had a way of making people feel comfortable and cared for, whether they had known him for years or had just met him.
Billy loved the great outdoors. He enjoyed being outside, making memories, and simply taking in the beauty of the world around him. His love for the outdoors was just one of the many things that made him who he was.
Above all, Billy was a loving and devoted father to his son, Hunter Jackson. His love for Hunter was immeasurable, and the memories they shared will be treasured forever.
Billy is survived by his son, Hunter Jackson; brothers, James “Jimmy” Peggy Jackson and Dennis “Denny” Jackson; and Tabbie Morrison, the mother to his amazing son; along with many family members and friends who loved him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, James Jackson and Shirley Jackson.
Billy leaves behind more than memories—he leaves behind a piece of himself in every person he touched. His laughter, kindness, love of the outdoors, and ability to make everyone feel like a friend will never be forgotten.
“He never met a stranger, because everyone he met became a friend.”
Rest easy, Billy. You were deeply loved, you will be greatly missed, and your memory will live on forever.
