Obituary For Shelton Wayne Jackson

Shelton Wayne Jackson was born July 3, 1954 in Durham, North Carolina. He made his transition to a new home on August 24, 2019 at the Treyburn Rehabilitation & Nursing Center in Durham, North Carolina. Shelton was the sixth child of Garland Lee and Dorothy Parker Jackson. He was educated in the Granville and Wake County Public School Systems, graduating from Wake Forest Rolesville High School in 1972. During his lifetime Shelton had many jobs including brick masonry, printing and carpentry. In 1985 he earned “Employee of the Month” while at Edwards & Broughton Company advancing to Lead Pressman on the 5/color press. For a number of years, he owned and operated his own home repair and remodeling business. His creative side lead him to make outdoor furniture such as picnic tables, chairs, etc. Like others in the family, his favorite pastime was fishing. It did not matter where, just as long as he could “drown a worm.” At an early age he gave his life to Christ and joined the New Rock Spring Christian Church where he was on the Senior Usher Board and a member of the Voices of Inspiration. Later he joined the Love Faith and Power Outreach Ministry where he was a member of Shepard’s Care, the LFPO Male Chorus and the Pastor’s Armor Bearer Team. His spirit lives today and forever in the hearts of his children Wayne, Rebecca, Amy, Shawn and Starr; his mother Dorothy Parker Jackson; his two sisters Dorothy Louise and Linda; his brother Michael and sister-in-law Brenda; his granddaughters; his nieces and nephews; aunts; an uncle; and a host of other relatives and friends. Memorial service will be at Holloway Memorial Funeral Home, 2502 NC. Hwy 55, on Saturday, August 31, 2019, at 12:00 noon, family visitation at 11:00 am.
