Richard loved to talk about the animals he worked with at the zoo. 

He loved all animals.

He would always have at least 1 dog following him around Leary, and several other dogs became to be a part of Richard’s pack.

After moving to Donna Wilkinson’s, he befriended foxes and even a white oak snake.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Lonnie Jackson, Jr. and Eddie Jackson; two sisters, Wilma Jackson and Dora Jackson Raybon; and one daughter, Latasha Jackson Walker.

Richard leaves to cherish his precious memories one daughter, Latisha P. King; 9 grandchildren; 3 great-grandchildren; a niece, Teresa R. Anthony, who stuck by him until the end; and many nieces and nephews.
