Homer Morris Jackson, 85, of Hiwasse, died September 29, 2021 at OCH Hospital in Gravette.

He was born November 13, 1935 in the town of Kinston, Alabama, to Homer and Esther (Maddox) Jackson. He was a resident of Northwest Arkansas since 1978 and worked in auto parts management for most of his career.
