Joseph Jackson

Mr. Joseph Jackson was born on September 24, 1940 in Alpine, Alabama to the union of Eddie Jackson and Lillo Mae Thomas Jackson. A man of faith and integrity, Mr. Jackson found solace and strength in his devotion to God, his church, and his family. He was a committed member of Pine Hill AOH Church of God, where his prayers and kindness uplifted all those around him. He also enjoyed fellowshipping with Heavenly Grace Gospel Word Network Ministries. Mr. Jackson was educated in the Talladega County School System. In his professional life, Mr. Jackson displayed diligence and skill, working at Newberry Foundry and later retiring from Hawk's Plastics after years of dedicated service. Along the path of Mr. Jackson's 84-year earthly journey, he was united in Holy Matrimony to Mrs. Sylvia Lucas Jackson and to this union came the blessing of three loving children. He loved his family and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Mr. Jackson's kind and generous spirit extended beyond his work into the daily rhythms of his life. An avid gardener and skilled fisherman, he took great joy in the simple pleasures of nature, casting his fishing line and tending to his garden with care and love. His passion for singing and maintaining a well-kept yard were reflections of his artistic talents and meticulous nature. He is truly going to be missed by all the hearts he has touched and lives he has encountered On Tuesday, November 12, 2024, while in the care of Coosa Valley Healthcare, Mr. Joseph Jackson traded his earthly home for eternal rest when he peacefully answered his Master's call to reunite with his parents, Eddie and Lillo Jackson and sister, Catherine Prinkleton. Mr. Jackson leaves behind a legacy of love and memories to be cherished by his two sons, Telly Jackson and Richard (LaTanya) Jackson; daughter, Mary Ella (Miller, Jr.) Pearson; brother, E.D. (Ora Lee) Jackson; sisters, Sadie E. Mahan, Betty Mallory, Willie Lee Jemison, and Patricia Mallory; two bonus sisters, Sharon (Frank) Mathews and Aileen Garrett; grandchildren, Richard (Kevonna) Jackson, Jr., LaKira (Alberto Solano) Jackson, and Lyric Jackson; great-grandchildren, Lesedi Solano Jackson, Vincent Jackson, and Aries Lucas Jackson; special friend, Annie "Miss Kitty" Taylor; and a host of nieces and nephews, other relatives, and friends. In times of sorrow, may we find comfort in the memories we shared with Mr. Jackson, remembering his laughter, his kindness, and the light he brought into our lives. May his soul rest in eternal peace, reunited with his parents and sister in the embrace of God's love.
