Lathaniel Jackson

Lathaniel Jackson Jr., 65, of Conway, Arkansas, departed from this world on Saturday, March 2, 2024. He was born May 9, 1958 in Wichita, Kansas to the late Lathaniel Jackson Sr. and Hattie Mae Martin-Jackson. At a young age, Lathan became a member of the Mountain View Church in Clinton. Later on, he reaffirmed his commitment to the Lord by rededicating his life at Mount Gale Baptist Church in Gold Lake, Arkansas.

Lathan was a true Arkansas Razorback fan to the core, his passion for the team evident in every conversation and every game day. With a contagious spirit, he brought enthusiasm and energy to the lives of those around him. His iconic catchphrase, "A Big 10-4," echoed through the halls of friendship, leaving lasting memories for all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Known for his unwavering love for his Ford Truck, Lathan could often be found cruising the streets and visiting friends and family. A ride-or-die friend, Lathan was always there when you needed him, ready to share a laugh or lend a helping hand. His athletic prowess added another layer to his vibrant personality, making him a force to be reckoned with on and off the field.

A shout-out is owed to his close-knit group, "The Master Batters," with whom he shared countless adventures and laughs. Their camaraderie was a testament to the strong bonds Lathan forged throughout his life.

In celebrating Lathan’s life, let us remember the joy he brought into our lives, the camaraderie he fostered, and the love he shared. Though his presence may no longer grace us, his spirit will endure through the countless memories he leaves behind.

Lathan Jackson, you will be dearly missed, but your legacy of love, laughter, and loyalty will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to call you friend. May you rest in peace, and may your Ford Truck continue to roll through the highways of our memories, echoing the indomitable spirit of a true Arkansas Razorback fan.
