Samuel Antwan Jackson was born on June 17, 2008, in Albany, Georgia, to Curtis and Tammy Jackson.

He attended Dougherty County Schools and was an upcoming senior at Westover Comprehensive High School, where he was a member of the class of 2027.

Samuel accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Rhema International Ministries.

Samuel had a quiet and easygoing spirit. He enjoyed playing basketball and was a devoted fan of the Golden State Warriors. He also had a great love for fashion, especially shoes, and clothing.

Samuel treasured spending time with his family and working alongside his father, Curtis, in the family business. After graduating from high school, he had planned on attending Albany Technical College to study plumbing and residential wiring.

As the baby boy of the family, Samuel shared a special bond with everyone in his family. He was quiet and shy around people he did not know well; however, once he became comfortable with someone, his warm personality began to shine.

Around his family and friends, he loved to joke and laugh. He also had a caring heart and often offered words of encouragement to those closest to him.

Samuel Antwan Jackson will be remembered for his gentle spirit, his love for his family, and the special joy and laughter he shared with those who knew him best.

Samuel was preceded in death by his grandparents, Lu Jackson, Charlie Mott, Doris Finney, Jimmy Lee Finney, George Champion, and Annette Champion.
