Richard Jackson

Richard Lee Jackson passed away unexpectedly on Jan. 29, 2020 at the age of 79.

Richard was born on Jan. 21, 1942 in Merina, Neb. to Kenneth and Pauline (Prescott) Jackson. He attended school at Merina and later obtained a GED. Richard was in the Army and the Army National Guard. He was a third degree master Mason of the Blue Lodge in Scottsbluff, Neb. and a 32nd degree Shriner of the Scottish Rite in Alliance, Neb.

Richard was only seven years old when he started to help his father farm. He worked as a highline construction worker, truck driver, rancher for hire and then foreman, Correctional Officer, boat inspector and many more jobs, but what he loved most was being a family man and friend. He loved visiting and sharing stories of his adventures and any other topics. Friends John and Mike enjoyed many visits discussing them. Grandons Brandon and Justin had special talks on the phone on many subjects. He had fun playing jokes on others. He loved watching his grandkids play and participate. The New York Yankees were his favorite team and he was thrilled when his sons Roger and Dave took him to see them play in Denver.

Richard loved to hunt prairie dogs and coyotes. He reloaded ammo and taught others how. He liked to fish, but didn’t like to eat them.

He married Charlotte Jean Kreiling in 1961 and the couple had four children including Crystal, Richard (Todd), Roger (Whitey) and Dave. Charlotte passed away in 2002 and Richard later married Bonnie (Schoknecht) LaMont and added two more children to the family, Cole and Scarlet LaMont.
