Born on February 25, 1945, Jackie was the son of the late Archie Ervin and the late Florence Cozart Ervin.

Jackie proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He had a great sense of humor and loved to make people laugh. Devoted to his family, Jackie especially enjoyed relaxing on the back porch, watching the animals and soaking in the peaceful moments.

He cherished the comfort of home and was happiest surrounded by those he loved.
