Mr. Harvey  Jackson III, 44, of  Kewanna passed away at 10:30 AM  on Friday, October 30, 2020 at his residence.

On January 6, 1976, Harvey III was born in Chicago to Harvey Jr. and Beverly A. Norman Jackson. Growing up as one of the nine Jackson children, he shared his childhood with five sisters and three brothers. Harvey was a member of the Culver Community High School class of 1995.

As a truck driving professional, Harvey was a member of the Local # 150 and Laborers Union # 71. He also was an excavation expert. There was nothing better than catching a warm summer breeze on his 2004 Harley - Davidson Black Screaming Eagle. He and Amy would take day trips to Chicago, South Bend or Kokomo as their favorite destinations.

With a passion for sports, Harvey loved shooting hoops, swimming in the pond and fishing off the shores of Bass Lake or Lake Maxinkuckee.  To relax he listened to blues.

An entertainment extraordinaire, Harvey was an amazing host. He was accomplished with the art of grilling. His specialties were BBQ, chicken and ham all prepared on the grill.
