Albert "Buck" Jackson Obituary (1957 - 2021)

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you your rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your seals. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30 Our beloved Albert, affectionally known as "Buck", departed this life on Saturday, November 13, 2021, at the age of 63. Buck was the the last child born December 28, 1957, to the late Annie Mae B. Jackson and Bienville Jackson, Sr. He was the baby brother of Marie Jackson Green and Bienville Jackson, Jr., and the late Ethel Mae Young and Henry Clay. Buck knew the Lord at a very early age and was baptized at the Greater Woodville Baptist Church by Pastor Wilkenson Grant. Buck was married to his devoted wife, Olivia Raymond Jackson for 23 years. He was a loving father to 2 children, Meltrika Raymond and Quad Howard. He was an outstanding grandfather to his only grandchild, Kadience Lumar. Buck was educated in the St. John the Baptist Parish school system, and was a 1978 graduate of Second Ward High School. Buck was the ultimate family man, or as he would call himself, "The Man." He lived a life of quality and purpose, where anything he said went! He was a very hard working man. Buck loved to work. If he could have work Sunday to Saturday, he would have. He worked as a welder for over 30 years at Avondale Shipyard (Northrup Grumman) until he retired. During his retirement days, Buck enjoyed fishing, working in his yard, watering and tending to his plants, listening to smooth Jazz and R&B music with the windows down on his truck, sitting on the patio, cooking for his family, and watching sports, of course any team BUT the Saints. The love of Jesus gently delivered him from all sickness and took him home where there shall be no more pain nor suffering.
