Jackie was employed with Duke Power for 25 years as a truck driver and heavy machinery operator. He operated his business, J&J Sherrill Contracting, for over 30 years. Jackie was happiest when he was fishing at the beach or in local tournaments with his son, Alan. He could fix and work on anything with a motor.

In addition to his parents, Jackie was preceded in death by his wife, Julie Sockman Sherrill.

He is survived by his son, Alan Sherrill (Jessica); grandchildren, Leila, Zoey, Anna and Hunter Sherrill; sisters, Lottie Freeze (Mike), Shirley Key, Elsie Roberson (Wayne), Judi Honbarger (David), and Martha Jean Davis (Mike).
