He was a devoted father to Janell Baker Jackson and Amy Jackson (Stephen) Salay; grandfather to Shannon R. McNamara, Rachel Elise and Stephen William Salay; and great-grandfather to Ashton C. Fleming and Alyssa J. Huffman. He was a brother to Wayne R. Jackson and his wife Patty, and Esther M. Reagin of Cory. Additionally, he is survived by Marsha E. (Ames) Jackson.
