MURRAY, Jackie

Jackie Murray entered into rest on June 21, 2022 at his home in Augusta, GA. He was born in Augusta, January 10, 1951, and raised in the Sunset Apartments.

Jackie had many interests over the years, but golf was his consistent passion. He played as often as he could. More than anything, he loved his family. He was always there with a smile, a helping hand, and a few soft words of wisdom.
