He was born June 13, 1970 to David L. Jackson and Margaret Ines (Nowling) Wells in Fairfax, Missouri.
Leroy spent countless hours under the hood of cars. His love for the automotive world extended to car shows, races, and the excitement of tractor pulls. Leroy's love for sports was just as important, with the Kansas City Royals and the Chicago Bears holding a special place in his heart.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Margaret Wells; brother, Joseph Wilson, Jr.; sister, Patricia Wilson; niece, Vanessa Miller; and ex-mother-in-law, Midge Pawling.
Survivors include his son, Andrew Jackson; sister, Melissa Jackson (Terry Marriott); ex-wife, Susie Pawling; father, David Jackson; ex-father-in-law, Alvin Pawling; nephew, Joe Wilson; nieces, Danielle Miller, Cheyenne Jackson, and Darci Daugherty; and his beloved dog, Mocha.
