Joshua Jacks Obituary

Joshua Tyler Jacks, 20, of Anniston passed away on Sunday, August 26 at his home. A memorial service for Tyler will be held on Thursday, August 30 at 1pm at Miller Funeral Home. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. Tyler was a native of Calhoun County and he lived the majority of his life here, while spending the last few years living with and caring for his grandmother. Tyler is survived by his parents, Phillip Jacks of Talladega, and Diania Jacks of Nashville, Tennessee; brothers, Bradley Jacks of Mobile, Phillip Jacks II of Anniston, Blake Cleckler of Clanton; grandmother, Betty Jacks of Anniston, and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Ronald Jacks, Sharon Marks and Arnold Lawrence "Sonny" Daniels. Tyler was a lot of things to a lot of people. To the thankful elderly ladies at his apartment complex, he was the helpful hand, always there without having to be asked. To anyone who may have needed help, he was there. He was a hard worker during the day, working 10-12 hours, and spent the remainder of his day caring for his grandmother. To his family he was a playful, joyful, fun, goofy person who will be loved, missed, and remembered forever. He was the most selfless person you would ever meet. He went above and beyond to help anyone, including complete strangers. Tyler is a flower cut too soon. Beautiful, no doubt, but with only an inkling of that beauty realized.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I cared a lot about Tyler and will miss him dearly. He was a special, sweet, loving and funny young man. The world has lost a beautiful soul but Heaven has gained a special angel. He used to come by my house and play with my dogs and pet and hold them. He found great comfort in them. Love you Tyler and Rest In Peace. Until we meet again.
