Stephen later went to Ogeechee Technical School, where he earned a degree in computer science.

Stephen worked at various jobs, but spent most of his adult working life as a night clerk for Comfort Inn and Suites in Statesboro.

Mr. Jackson loved his family and missed so many of them who had passed prior to his death.

He also loved computer and board games. He was always delighted to have friends and family to play these games with him. He also had an extensive collection of game-related memorabilia.

He was keenly aware of the politics of the day and followed news broadcasts with an ever-watchful eye.

Stephen was proceeded in death by his brother, Micheal Carey Jackson of Statesboro; as well as his grandparents and aunts and uncles from the Humphrey and Jackson families.

He is survived by his loving aunts, Phyllis Humphrey Hamrick of Savannah, Georgia; and Twyla Humphrey Preising (Dean) of Phoenix, Arizona; and numerous nieces and nephews.

A visitation to pay respects to the family is planned for a later date.
