E. Wayne Jackson Jr. was born on November 13, 1934 in Newport News, Virginia, and passed away peacefully in Gloucester, Virginia, on January 17, 2025.

Wayne graduated from Hampton High School, Randolph-Macon College, and earned a degree in Bank Management from the University of Virginia. He started his 12-year career in banking at Citizens National Bank in Hampton. He then transitioned to the petroleum business and investment sector, becoming President of Hampton Investment Corporation. He later retired as President of Gloucester Southside Insurance Co.

Wayne was a loving and devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He leaves his wife, Joan Holden Jackson; children, E. Wayne Jackson III (Cindy) and Ann L. Jackson (Derek); and seven grandchildren, Audrey, Lindsay, Nicholas, and Adam Jackson, and Caroline, Jack, and Sam Replogle. He was a man of many interests, but above all else was his love for his wife and family and his concern for their well-being.

Wayne enjoyed many sports, but golf was his game! He won over 60 amateur golf championships. Highlights of his golf career include winning two Virginia State Championships at his beloved Cascades Course in Hot Springs, Va., and the Inaugural Mid-Amateur. He also won the Kenridge Invitational twice, the George Peyton Memorial four times, the Valentine Invitational three times and 10 consecutive Peninsula Amateur Championships. Wayne played for the All-Army Team, winning the Inter-Service Championship, and competed in both the U.S. Open and the U.S. Amateur (six times). He also set a record with 17 wins at the James River Championships. Wayne was inducted into the Virginia Golf Hall of Fame in 2022, the Randolph-Macon Athletic Hall of Fame, and the Lower Peninsula Athletic Hall of Fame. He was the recipient of the Peninsula Sports Club Man of the Year.
