Jackie Bryant (Air Force Ret.) (1942-2025)
On Wednesday, March 5, 2025, we said goodbye to an incredible man-our beloved father,
brother, husband, and friend, Jackie Bryant. At 82 years old, he left behind a legacy of love,
service, and unwavering dedication to family and country.
Born to Ruth Nell Roberts and Oliver Bryant in Perry, Georgia, during the era of segregation,
Jackie grew up with a deep sense of resilience, determination, and pride in his roots. Jackie
proudly served in the United States Air Force (USAF) for over 20 years, retiring as a Master
Sergeant. He wore his USAF cap and retiree pins daily and with a great sense of pride.
Jackie's military service in the Air Force took him around the world, but he never lost touch with
his southern roots, traveling back to Georgia often to visit his mother, siblings, and lifelong
friends. In his retirement, he continued to serve, and was a mentor and role model for young
Black men in underserved schools in Columbus, Ohio, and Macon
