Jeffery Louis Jackson

Jeffrey Louis “Lil Jeff” Jackson, Jr., was born on March 12, 1991, in Chicago, IL. He was
the oldest of three born to Jeffrey Louis Jackson SR. and Donja Marie Jackson. On April
14, 2023 Jeff went home to be with the Lord.
Jeff graduated from Proviso West High School and continued his education at Morton

and Central Christian College. Jeff love sports, but his passion and favorite was basket-
ball. He played basketball from elementary through college and every chance he got he

played 2K. Jeff had various job roles, his latest being a delivery driver for Amazon. He

knew he didn’t want to work a 9-5 forever, always was an entrepreneur at heart. He want-
ed to start his own business which he did, called Bon Appetit.

Jeff had big dreams, a huge personality, was very creative and had so many “OUT OF

THE BOX” ideas. At every event he was the life of the party and he loved to dance, es-
pecially with his sister Janae. Till this day he loved playing basketball with his friends

and even joined teams where he played in leagues. He always competed against his sister
Jasmine and saying his shot was better than hers. He love to scare his Dad and always
kissing his Mom on the cheeks and joking around with his family. His greatest joy was

when his daughter Journee was born, he thought the world of her. She has those big pret-
ty eyes like him that would light up the room. She love her daddy and so did everyone

who knew him. He will be truly missed.
