In Loving Memory of

Edward T. Jackson

June 8, 1961 – October 17, 2026

“A Legacy of Faith, Foundation, and Family”

Edward T. Jackson, born June 8, 1961, departed this life on October 17, 2026. His life was one defined by faith, dedication, love, and an unwavering commitment to family. Though his passing leaves a void that can never truly be filled, the memories he created, the lives he touched, and the legacy he established will continue to live on through generations.

Edward was a devoted father, grandfather, family man, and man of faith. To know him was to understand the importance of family, togetherness, and having a strong foundation. He believed that family was one of life’s greatest blessings, and he demonstrated that belief through the love, time, and care he poured into those closest to him. His presence brought comfort, his wisdom provided guidance, and his love created memories that will be cherished forever.

Edward proudly served in the United States Army from 1988 through 1998. His decade of military service reflected his commitment, discipline, and willingness to serve something greater than himself. His service was an important chapter in his life and a testament to the values he carried with him throughout his journey.

His faith was another cornerstone of his life. Edward was an active and devoted member of First Baptist Church of Osteen, where he found fellowship, spiritual strength, and community. His connection to the church was a reflection of the faith that helped guide his life and shape the example he set for his family.

Above all, Edward was a father who loved his children deeply. He leaves to cherish his memory his six beloved children: Marcus C. Jackson and his wife, Sabrina Jackson; Jamal T. Jackson and his partner, Adolphus Melvin; Kristen L. Jackson; Santoya Jackson; Dekia Jackson; and Traimontia Jackson Carter.

His greatest joy extended beyond fatherhood into grandparenthood. Edward leaves behind six grandchildren, each of whom held a special place in his heart. He treasured every opportunity to spend time with them, creating memories that they will carry throughout their lives. Whether taking them on memorable trips to Disney, participating in numerous church activities, or simply enjoying precious moments together, Edward made sure his grandchildren experienced the joy of having a grandfather who genuinely loved being present in their lives. Those moments will remain among the most treasured pieces of his legacy.

Edward was also preceded in death by his beloved parents, Dewitt Jackson and Margret L. Jackson.

Edward was a family man through and through. He understood that the greatest things we leave behind are not material possessions, but the love we give, the lessons we teach, and the memories we create. His legacy is reflected in his children, his grandchildren, and the family bonds he helped build. His life reminds us that love does not end when someone takes their final breath; it continues through every story shared, every lesson remembered, and every generation that carries his name forward.

Edward also leaves behind a loving family of four sisters and three brothers, who will forever cherish the memories, bonds, and experiences they shared with him. His love extended far beyond his immediate household, touching the lives of relatives, extended family, lifelong friends, and everyone fortunate enough to know him. His passing leaves a void throughout the family, but the love they shared will remain everlasting.

Although our hearts are heavy, we find comfort in knowing that Edward’s life was meaningful, his love was abundant, and his impact will never be forgotten. The family will forever cherish the laughter, conversations, guidance, family gatherings, church moments, and countless memories that made him who he was.

He will be missed more than words could ever express. His physical presence may be gone, but his spirit, values, and legacy of faith, foundation, and family will remain with us always.

Rest peacefully, Edward. Your work here is done, your legacy lives on, and you will forever hold a place in our hearts.
