After a long bout with Parkinson’s disease, W.A. “Andy” Jackson, 68, of Catawba, N.C., passed away on Tuesday, September 16, 2025.

He was a dairy farmer for many years in Texas and later drove a tour bus for Christian Tours. He was lovingly called “Handy Andy” as he was able to fix, build or repair just about anything.

He is survived by his mother, Joanne Jackson of Texas; his daughter, Aly Lassig of Texas; his sister, Leslie Cofer of Texas; his brother, Brad Jackson of Texas; his partner, Georgia Freeman of Catawba; and five grandchildren.

A private family service will be held at a later date.

Troutman Funeral Home is serving the family of Andy Jackson.
