School District, A.W. Jackson Elementary, Lamar Jr. High, and Lamar High Schools.

Following in the footsteps of his older brother, J.B. earned his diploma and certification
in Furniture Upholstery and Trim from Gary Job Corps.

Like his father, J.B. worked in the construction industry for most of his career. He was

a loving, blended family consisting of two boys and two girls.

J.B. loved his family and his Fort Bend community. He was well known for his
delicious barbecue ribs and the best fried chicken wings in the area. He was always
just a phone call away, ready to fire up the grill and heat up his special fryer.

J.B., along with a very dear and special friend, LaShonda Herald Green lived his last
two years in Brazoria County. He spent most days fishing and enjoying the peace
found by the Brazos River banks.
