Jackie Guill, 84, of Princeton, passed away on Sunday, April 5, 2026, at his home.
He was born on January 6, 1942, in Princeton, Kentucky, to his late parents, Marshall Johnson Guill and Bertha Guill. Jackie was a dedicated and hardworking man whose life reflected service, faith, and generosity. After proudly serving 10½ years in the United States Army, he continued his commitment to others through his work as an auto mechanic at the Kentucky State Penitentiary, where he was known for his skill and reliability. A faithful member of Greenhill Baptist Church in Princeton, Jackie lived out his beliefs daily and often shared the wisdom that guided his life: “you have to know, that you know, where you are going.” He will be remembered as someone who never hesitated to lend a helping hand, always willing to do anything for anyone, and whose kindness and steady presence made a lasting impact on all who knew him.
