Will Author Jackson

Will Author Jackson, 71, of Lake Charles, La., was born to the late Horace Jackson, II and Marjorie Fisher Jackson, on May 19, 1949, in Caldwell, Texas.

Will was the second of 12 siblings with a strong leadership influence to all of his siblings. He was baptized at an early age when baptism was held in the country creek of Dime Box, Texas. His confession of faith brought him to a place of peace in Yeshua HaMaschia/Jesus Christ.

He served his country in the United States Army prior to completing his degree at Prairie View A&M University. His 40 year career in the housing industry brought him recognition as, "the new sheriff in town." Will was a simple man of great integrity, held strong convictions, and loved, and was loved by his family dearly.
