Jackie married Fonda in 1985 after courting her with flowers every birthday for 4 years. He worked in the oilfield for over 40 years in many different positions, but his latest was as a superintendent with ConocoPhillips.
Jackie and Fonda have two daughters, Amber Carpenter, married to James, and Morgan Wicks, and 7 grandchildren, Brylii, Kynzie, Patrick, Kynlii, Bladyn, Kyson, and Bolton. He is also survived by his mother, Betty Pitts, 2 brothers, Garry Wicks and Terry Wicks, and twin sister, Jeanie Taylor. Plus, dozens of nieces and nephews.

He was very involved with CBT Charities, Wounded Warriors and volunteered yearly with their fishing tournament.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Kyson Strong. Kyson was one of Jackie’s grandsons and has been diagnosed with Tuberous Sclerosis, a rare disease that causes tumors to grow in the brain and other vital organs. Jackie helped to support his grandson’s education at a school designed to educate students like Kyson. These donations will help to pay for his tuition. You can take donations to the Kyson Strong account at Wells Fargo (Acct: 8956432440) or via Zelle.
The family of Jackie wishes to extend their thanks to all of our friends and family for their continued prayers and support.
