Cedar Grove, Tennessee; Feb 3, 2012. It is with great sadness I announce today the death of one of Carroll county's most beloved citizens, Jackson Delano Maybolt, Jr, who died today of injuries he sustained in a high speed car crash along with complications from his pancreatic cancer.
In a report released by the Tennessee Highway Patrol, it seems Maybolt was traveling East on US highway 70 in a vintage Volkswagen Beetle when a deer stepped out in front of his vehicle. Maybolt swerved to miss the deer and centered his vw on a telephone pole, killing him instantly.
He was texting his secretary, Ms. Susan Blunderdoss at the time of the accident, but this has been ruled out as a contributing factor. He was working on a project to lift all people out of poverty at the time of his death. He leaves his secretary, four cats, four dogs, five chickens, 41 cows and a bull, five horses and two donkeys, 3 Ford diesel tractors, one John Deere tractor, one John Deere two row cotton picker, a Massey Ferguson combine, one international dump truck, a Ford F700 diesel truck, a caterpillar bull dozer, and a caterpillar back hoe, a canoe, a two-man kayak, five barns, 700 acres, 8 personal vehicles, 4 motorcycles, 234 guns, 12,000 rounds of various ammunition, 6 recurve bows, 4 houses, one brother and a sister, and 12 nieces and nephews.
He has also left two very sad bankers.
His sister, Mrs. Carroll Pierpoint Gibson, is planning to close his estate. And more importantly he left over 207 shorts spanning all sorts of subjects which he poured his heart into to brighten other people's lives around the world. He told me before he died that he never meant to harm anybody's feelings unless they deserved it. Those who were so kind as to click on an advertisement brought in over $100 to the Urban Poverty Law Center and he wanted me to thank all 129 of the 8,000 viewers who did so.
God Speed Jackson Delano Maybolt, Jr you will be sorely missed!
Susan Blunderdoss, Secretary UPLC
