Obituary

Jackie Jermaine Willis entered this world on December 24, 1983, in Fayette, Alabama to Vincent Eatmon and Martha Bridges Bounds. Jackie was raised in the Millport community where he attended South Lamar High School. He received his high school diploma in 2005.

After high school, he began his employment with various companies including General Atomics, Ox Bodies, Weyerhaeuser, Georgia Pacific, Interfor, and most recently Oneita Industries in Fayette, AL as a forklift driver.

Jackie accepted Christ at an early age. He was baptized and became a member of Holly Grove Baptist Church. Jackie enjoyed spending precious moments with his boys, especially watching them play various sports in school. He was big on spending time with his family. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle, as he was a member of the Underground Riders Motorcycle Club. He also loved his dogs; he bought and raised many Bullies.

He was known to many in the community as "Jack Will", "Maine" and his dad called him "Head." He had a smile so bright that it would light up the world, his presence will be missed by all.
