Obituary's Biography:

Linvel Keith Jackson, 75, of Silverlake, WI, passed away peacefully Tuesday, November 19, 2024 surrounded by his loving family.

Keith was born February 7, 1949 in Orange California to Wanda Gene (Grene) & William Richard Jackson. He married Roxanne Mary Ogden on July 1, 1989 in Silverlake, WI. As a passionate motorcycle enthusiast, Keith found so much joy on the open road and loved spending countless hours working on his ‘56 Chevy and many other vehicles over the years. He cherished fishing with his kids, grandkids, nieces & nephews. Keith also loved going to Wilmot Raceway to watch his son and nephews race on Saturday nights. When he wasn’t at the races, he enjoyed going to watch his great nephew play drums with The Affects Band. He enjoyed shooting pool, telling jokes and watching the kids play.

Keith loved family gatherings especially when there was delicious food to be had, often indulging in shrimp, steak, BBQ, homemade beans, gumbo & sweet confections. His taste in music was pretty diverse ranging from classic country to today’s music including rap & hip-hop. In his down time, he enjoyed watching reruns of “Gunsmoke” and catching the newest episodes of “Yellowstone”, and playing his farming simulator game.

Keith was a great listener if you needed to talk and was constantly willing to share some advice if you asked for it. His beloved family will carry on his legacy and will fondly remember him for his adventurous spirit, love of life, and the cherished moments they shared together. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Roxanne Mary Jackson; 3 sons, Charles Richard Jackson, John Russell Jackson, William Dillon Jackson; a daughter, Christina Marie (Kenneth) Brand; 9 grandchildren; 1 great-granddaughter; a sister Breneida “Gale” Lankford; many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Keith was preceded in death by his parents Wanda & William Jackson, his brother William Richard “Ricky” Jackson Jr., Wanda Janelle “Jan” Jackson, his son Linvel Keith “Bubba” Jackson Jr.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Arrangements were entrusted to Strang Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, 410 East Belvidere Rd, Grayslake, IL 60030. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the family.
