Jackie Franklin Willingham, born February 24, 1953, in Alabama, passed away on December 10, 2025, in Tavares, Florida.
Jack served his country during the Vietnam War, where he was awarded medals in recognition of his service. Following his military service, he returned home and built his life in the Metro Detroit area. He spent many years working for Chrysler before retiring.
Known for his love of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, Jackie was a longtime member of Rolling Thunder, an organization dedicated to honoring veterans and raising awareness for POW/MIA service members. After retirement, he relocated to Florida, where he spent his later years.
Jack is survived by his mother, Pamela; his brother, Jerry; his daughters, Christine and Elizabeth; his nieces Brenda and Amber; his nephews Michael and Eric; and his grandchildren Nathaneal, Carter, Corbyn, and Jackson.
