Obituary for Joseph Lamar Jackson
Joseph Lamar Jackson, Oklahoma City resident, formerly of Dallas, TX. and Altus, OK, passed away on October 24, 2021, at the age of 50.
Joseph was born on July 24, 1971, to his parents, Arthur Jackson Sr., and Rebeca Raiden Crosby. He grew up in Altus mainly, but also had ties in Texas, having lived in Dallas and Amarillo. Joseph also stayed in Ardmore, OK where he studied mechanics at a vocational school. In addition to being a mechanic, Joseph was also an avid chef and worked for the Michelin Tire Plant in Ardmore.
