David “Dave” Leroy Jackson, age 70, of Rome, Ga., returned to his heavenly home on June 20, 2017 after a valiant battle with a long illness. His devotion to his family and his firm belief in God supported him in his struggle and ultimately gave him peace.

David was born to the late Dave and Virginia Jackson in Detroit, Mich. on February 18, 1947. He graduated from Lawrence Technical University in 1977 with a degree in Business Administration. Dave served his country in the US Navy from 1967 to 1969 aboard the USS Oriskany. David moved to Atlanta in 1978 as part of his position with Delta Airlines, where he would serve for more than 30 years.

David was blessed with a large and loving family. He married Shelia F. Broyles on April 6, 1990 in Atlanta, Ga. He became a loving father to his two stepchildren, Cheryl Hood and Patrick Julian, and a doting grandfather to Tre Julian. He took great joy in his relationships with his two sisters, Janice Poirier, of Detroit, Mich., and Patricia Nieswand, of Bonita Springs, Fla., and his many loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and all their children.

David was active in his ministry with Alcoholics Anonymous, celebrating nearly 32 years of sobriety, always helping others as a sponsor or mentor. He was kind and soft-spoken, and always had time to help others. He is dearly missed by his loved ones, who celebrate the fact that he is at peace with his Creator.

David is survived by his wife, Shelia; his stepson, Patrick Julian; his stepdaughter, Cheryl Hood; his grandson, Tre Julian; and his sisters, Janice Poirier and Patricia Nieswand. He is preceded in death by his parents.
