Obituary for Graham Cummings Jackson
Graham C. Jackson, 84, of Salem, VA, but formerly of Lindside, WV, Floyd, VA, and Salem, VA, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, June 28, 2022. Born in West Virginia to the late Sherman Bailey and Lena Virginia Jackson, he is also preceded in death by his brothers, Logan, Lymun, Charlie, Bailey, and James, and sisters, Barbara Kuhn and Mary Rombow.
Graham spent much of his working life behind the steering wheel of big rigs as a long-haul driver as well as an owner operator. He would eventually retire from the dedicated runs. Graham always appreciated a good practical joke, especially if he was the one pulling the prank. In his free time, he enjoyed improving his golf swing. Graham loved spending time with family and made family gatherings a priority; he especially looked forward to the family reunions. Above all, his family is grateful for the assurance that, in his last year, Graham accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.
Those left to cherish his memory are his sons, Robert and Jerri Jackson, Ricky Jackson, and Jeff Jackson; grandchildren, Cody and Dominique Dooley, and Dylan and Bailey Snead; as well as great-grandchildren, Layla Dooley and Jacklyn Dooley.
The family will welcome friends on Saturday, July 16, 2022, from 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m., at Emmanuel Wesleyan Church, 402 Hershberger Road, NW, Roanoke; a memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Pastor Matt Reynolds will officiate.
