I just saw on Facebook a note from former Attorney General Marty Jackley, regarding his father Mike, who has passed away.
Michael Jackley had long been involved in the Republican Party as Meade County State’s Attorney, and GOP County Chairman among other roles.
The senior Jackley had himself sought the nomination for Attorney General back in 1986, a race that was ultimately won by Roger Tellinghuisen. While Mike didn’t win that race, he saw his son appointed to that position in 2009.
Our prayers are with the Jackley family in their time of loss.
Man, that’s really rough. My heart goes out to the Jackley family, particularly Marty. That poor guy has been seeing a rough patch lately and I really hope things begin to go his way. He deserves a bit of peace. The hard part is being the rock of the family. This is already a rough situation and his family will be looking to him for strength and support. I’ll be praying for the Jackley family. Lord give them strength. God bless.
In the late 1960’s Mike was chairman of the SD Young Republicans and I was his vice chair. He was a real inspiration for me. My 47 year career as a lobbyist began because of Mike. I am in his debt and he is in my prayers.
