William Lawrence Jiggetts, age 63, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, March 26, 2022. William was born to Walter and Helen H. Jiggetts on January 7, 1959 at Kings Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. William received his formal education at Elementary School #158, Berriman Junior High School, and Thomas Jefferson High School in New York.
William attended Ebenezer Baptist Church in Brooklyn, New York, as a child and young adult, where he built a spiritual life based on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. William put his heart and soul into every task he did, and his first job as a Maintenance Leadsman demonstrated this.
In 1999, William relocated to Jacksonville, FL, and began working at St. Mary's Seafood. He was also a committed and industrious entrepreneur who worked on a variety of individual maintenance jobs all throughout the city.
William was devoted to maintaining his personal experience of God's kindness and joined Assembly of Love & Faith Church, and he was also affiliated with Wayman Temple A.M.E. Church, both located in Jacksonville, FL. William was a caring and loving person, who put his faith in God first, then expressed his faith towards his family and friends.
William’s memories will be treasured forever by his loving daughter, Sharese Montgomery; three grandsons, Barry, Jalil, and Chace; sisters, Darlene Jiggetts Revell (James Billy Revell) (Florida), Danielle Rollins (Maryland), and Elizabeth Jiggetts (New York); brothers, Steven Jiggetts and Timothy Jiggetts (Florida); uncles, Daniel (Cheryl) Jiggetts and Vernon Jiggetts (former spouse, Sarita Jiggetts) (Florida); near and dear to William’s heart, nieces and nephews, Da Da, Daniel, Jr., and Vernard; and a host of relatives and friends who were considered his family.
