Jackson

William "Lewis" Jackson, 82, of Wichita Falls, Texas opened his eyes in Heaven on Tuesday February 21, 2023. He was reunited there with his wife Ann, and both daughters, Shelley and Jenny, and other family members and friends who went before him.

Lewis was born in Carlisle(East Texas), and had fond memories of his childhood there before his family moved to Kamay/Valley View area, Texas. He graduated from Valley View High School were he played all sports and had many friends. He met Ann at a sock hop in Wichita Falls during this time and soon got married. He worked in the Oil Field and then tire sales and was also drafted during the Vietnam War, were he served his time stateside. Anything Lewis did, he excelled. The Army life and then in sales, where he worked his way up the ladder in many companies and retired as a Zone Manager for Titan International. He was also a deacon at Faith Baptist Church of Iowa Park for many years. When he retired he became a very skilled carpenter and he loved making things for his family.

Lewis was a provider and family man. There was nothing more important to him than that. He was determined to give his family all the things he didn't have growing up, and he did just that. Later in life he also was very involved with raising his granddaughter Tabitha, and helping with his great grandchildren. He created a legacy of love, hope and forgiveness, and will be greatly missed by everyone who loved him. He leaves behind two granddaughters, Tabitha Stephens, of Cisco, Texas and Tiffany Thoes, of Wichita Falls, Texas. And four great grandchildren Devaughn, Leta Jo, Hollie and Holden.

The grandchildren will have a private memorial to spread his ashes in the forest of Price, Texas and bury the rest next to Ann. A future public memorial service will be announced when plans are made. We will always miss you Pawpaw.
