The Life of Marvin F. Jackson
Marvin French Jackson was born on Saturday, October 19, 1929, in Florence County, South Carolina. On March 30, 2026, Marvin went home peacefully to be with his Heavenly Father, surrounded by his loving family.
Marvin served his country with honor in the United States Army. He was a dedicated professional, who worked for Miller Tobacco Co. and the South Carolina Highway Department.

He found his greatest joy in the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing.
