With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Leonard Wayne Jackson, who departed this life on December 4, 2025, in Arlington, Texas. Born on February 24, 1955, in Teague, Texas, Leonard lived a life marked by service, dedication, and a quiet strength that touched all who had the privilege of knowing him.
