Jack (Jackie) Daniel Motlow

Jack (Jackie) Daniel Motlow lll went home to be with the Lord on January 7, 2014. Jackie had spent most of his 66 years in the care of others, being born with a disability on August 24, 1947 in Danville, Virginia. He was with his parents until the age of 10, when Jack Jr. and Mary thought it best for Jackie to be in the care of specialists due to his disabilities. Jackie spent 25 years of his life in the care of Martha’s Vineyard, a facility in Tennessee, where he learned how to care for himself and was schooled. Jackie moved to Tullahoma Tennessee in 1987 where he lived in an Adult Group Home operated by Skills Development Services. While at Skills, Jackie enjoyed working with his hands and going to dances on the weekend. He really enjoyed listening to music on the radio and always had a radio close by. Country music was his favorite. Jackie had a beautiful voice and would sing songs if asked. In the early 2000’s Jackie had some medical issues arise which forced him to have to leave the Group Home in Tullahoma and he moved to the Nursing Home in Lynchburg where he has been a resident till the present. Again, Jackie loved his radio and if you knew Jackie you always had some batteries ready to change out cause you can bet he was gonna ask for them.
