John's obituary
John Charles Jackson Sr. was born on September 27, 1936, in Summit, Mississippi, the sixth child and first son of Lucille and Charlie Jackson. He was baptized at Collin Grove Free Will Baptist Church in Summit, where his spiritual journey began.
A man of unwavering dedication, John worked for K&B for over 30 years and for National Cleaners for more than 20 years. Even after retiring from those roles, he continued working independently, always committed to providing for his family and serving his community. He lived in New Orleans for 20 years before settling in Marrero in 1974, where he remained a beloved neighbor and friend.
John passed away peacefully on August 10, 2025, at his home in Marrero, surrounded by loved ones.
He was preceded in death by his siblings Clonnie Mae Jackson Ading (Donald), Charlestine Jackson Harding (Jimmie Lee), Ada Estella Jackson Turner (William), Martha Francis Jackson Miller (David), Joyce Faye Jackson Brewster (Emanuel), Helen Marie Jackson Butler-Wood (Roy), Lora Lee Jackson Seals (Alphonse), and Andrew Jackson (Vera), as well as his daughter, Lorie Ann Jackson-Byrd.
He leaves to cherish his memory his devoted wife of 67 years, Millie Wright Jackson; his sister, Dorothy Jackson Turner-Morrow (Durey); his children Micheal, Karen, Eric, John Jr., Greg, and Joyclyn; fifteen grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends who will miss him dearly.
John was a man of simple pleasures and strong values. He enjoyed fishing, gardening, and spending time with his family. He was ever consistent in his plaid shirts, blue jeans, and baseball caps—a signature look that reflected his down-to-earth nature. He loved his family deeply and was always ready for a good time, bringing joy and laughter wherever he went.
His legacy of love, hard work, and devotion will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
