On Feb. 14, 1950, a healthy baby boy was born to Elizabeth Alexander Bristow in Shreveport. He was adopted by the Rev. Grover C. Jaggers Sr. and Savannah Allen-Jaggers. They named this little bundle of joy Grover C. Jaggers Jr.
Grover confessed to Christ at an early age at Layman Temple C.M.E. in Bossier City. After moving to Carrolton, Texas he united with Hill Chapel in Plano, Texas where he remained a faithful member until his health began to fail.
Grover is a graduate of Webster High School’s class of 1967. Afterwards, he attended Louisiana State University and the United States Naval Academy.
Grover enlisted in the United States Navy in 1970 to serve his country and was honorably discharged in 1973. After serving in the United States Navy, Grover was employed by Nasa, Pennzoil and Hilton Corporation.
On August 2, 1980, Grover married Loretta Walton and to this union two daughters, Denesha and Demetria were born. Grover later married Carol Seamster-Jaggers on October 19, 2002.
On June 9, 2016, God dispatched heavenly angels amidst celestial fireworks and granted holy independence to His faithful servant.
