George Richard Jackson Jr., age 56, of Lake in the Hills formerly of Wallins, KY, died Friday, June 28, 2013, at Centegra Hospital - Woodstock.
He was born June 26, 1957 in Wallins Creek, Kentucky to George R. Sr. and Betty (North) Jackson. On November 18, 1989, he married Carol Gapinski in Crystal Lake.
