Obituary

George "Chris"'s Obituary

 

Chris entered his heavenly, eternal home on Wednesday, August 18, 2021, after a sudden illness.

Chris, 59, was born on December 22, 1961, and was the son of the late Sgt. Maj. Harry B. Jackson, USMC, ret., and the late Mrs. Ora Owens Jackson.

He and his wife, Fran Baxley, resided in Mullins, where he grew up. Chris had a deep love and pride for his community, as was evident by his service and love, especially to his Mullins First Baptist Church family. Chris served his country and was a proud United States Marine, ret. Chris was also retired from the South Carolina Highway Department. Chris loved God, his country, and his family.

Chris is survived by his wife of the home, Fran; his Mother-in-Law, Ms. Lib Baxley; his Stepchildren: Christina Payne and her husband, Brian of Murrells Inlet, and Brent Cook and his fiancé, Brittany of Mullins; but the greatest joy that ever came to Chris was through his Grandchildren: Wells, Haven, and Anderson, his three best gifts of life.

Coming from a tightknit, large family, Chris is also survived by his siblings: Susan Cannon (Scotty), Karen Rogers (Ricky), Mike Jackson (Marcia), Richard Jackson, and Bobby Jackson (Kim); He leaves many nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws, extended family, and friends that will be forever changed by the mark he left on their lives.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, August 21 at 3:00 P.M. in the Sanctuary of Mullins First Baptist Church, with Rev. Robbie Baxley officiating.

Visitation will be held an hour before the service in the Fellowship Hall of Mullins First Baptist Church, from 2:00 until 3:00 P.M. Cox-Collins Funeral Home of Mullins is assisting the family at this time.
