The funeral for former UB defensive end Solomon Jackson will be held on Saturday at the Fairfield Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia – roughly 20 minutes from his hometown of Stone Mountain.
There will also be a viewing of his body on Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Gregory B. Levett and Sons Funeral Home in Decatur, Georgia, according to a representative of Jackson's high school, Tucker High School.
Jackson’s family is expected to attend the viewing from 7-8 p.m.
Jackson died on Feb. 29 – one week after suffering from what the university has called a medical emergency during a non-contact conditioning practice off campus.
