J.D. had a great love for his family! As he traveled the country, he made it a point to visit as many of them as possible. He was a fisherman and an avid fan of soul music. He enjoyed Sunday church services and gospel music.
He was an excellent cook; a man with a skilled palate. J.D. spent the last 21 years of his life in Salado, Texas. He was the personal architect of his own home and all the fixed improvements on his land. On October 31st, J.D. succumbed to the long-fought battle against his illnesses. He leaves to cherish many loving memories: his loving daughter Myra Jackson and five living siblings.
