About | Ashley Ackerman, age 75, of Atlanta, GA, died January 6, 2019. Born in Gary, Indiana in 1943, he moved to Atlanta in 1978. Ashley was a devoted father, brother, cousin and a friend to everyone he met. His passion for his sports teams - the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears and Indiana University basketball was unrivaled. He was self-employed throughout most of his career which ran the gamut from a cheese & wine deli, cookie business, Sandwich and Stuff deli to an engraving business. His favorite social pastimes were bowling with the B’nai B’rith league and playing cards with his regular buddies. He loved to make people smile and always used the line “to make a long story short,” while he was telling a long-winded story. He was preceded in death by his older brother, Warren Ackerman of Indianapolis. He is survived by his daughter Rosanne Ackerman Mastin (Jasen) and his many, many friends. |
