Richard Tyler Jackson

He was born on November 15, 1990, in Hot Springs, the son of Waylon Jackson and Kimberley McKinnon Jackson.  He is preceded in death by his father; his paternal grandparents; two aunts, Emily Anderson and Janette McKinnon; and one uncle, Jimmy McKinnon, II.

Richard graduated from Hot Springs High School in 2010.  He worked for FedEx Ground and Kroger #621.  He was a hardworking man and when he wasn’t working, he just enjoyed relaxing at home watching television.  He was a quiet person, some might even say a homebody, but he did enjoy fishing, watching movies and he loved his family with his whole heart. 

Left to cherish his memory is his mother and stepfather, Kim and Shawn Keele; his brother, Trevor Jackson; his maternal grandparents, Jimmy and Sally McKinnon; two aunts, Julie McKinnon and Rhonda Jackson and husband, Gean; brother, Matthew Westmoreland; several cousins, extended family members and a host of wonderful friends.
