Recently watched him in a documentary on the Muscle Shoals music heyday. Really enjoyed his work backing Aretha that era. Deepest condolences to his family and friends. (Isaiah 66:12,13).

You are dearly missed. As you walked me down the isle at my wedding, I knew I was marrying a special kind of man. Your son, Duane Lamar Jackson, is my soulmate. Being that my father couldn't be in Tennessee to walk me down the isle... You, Wayne Jackson offered to walk me down the isle to give me away to your one and only son.
My heart aches knowing you are gone. Your health will be restored and we all will be reunited. TILL WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN... RIP WAYNE.
I LOVE YOU.......
