Keyshon Jerome Jackson

brother, nephew, grandson, and friend of many Keyshon

Jerome Jackson, of Kelowna B.C. passed suddenly on

December 3rd, 2020. We are blessed to have had 21 years

with the one of the worlds greatest treasures. The pain is

deep, and tears will continue to flow.

Keyshon was the youngest of 3 children, born June 20, 1999

in Langley BC to proud parents Tim and Sheri Jackson. He

excelled at everything he did, touching the lives of many.

He loved sports and had an amazing talent for science and

math. Keyshon’s love for cooking was next level and his work

ethic was strong, proudly learned from the Jackson 5. He

was athletic, smart, funny and incredibly charming.

Keyshon had the ability to leave a lasting impression in his

own quiet, kind way. He was a young man with a new zest

for life. January 2021 he was moving to Toronto to live with

his big brother, Raphael as a new homeowner. He was so

excited to embark on this adventure and be closer to his big

sister Latesha who lives in New York.

He loved his siblings so much and had such admiration for

them, I know he couldn’t wait to get closer to them. He was

a wonderful, thoughtful son who was always willing to lend

a helping hand. He deeply loved his family and we deeply

loved him.

Keyshon meant so much to many people, who's hearts are

shattered. As the days pass, we can’t help but think of how

unfair this is to him. His life was just beginning, and you had

so many great adventures ahead of you, so many plans that

will be left in wonder.

We will never understand why this happened and we will

always think what if or what life would be like with him still

here. We will hold on to the precious memories.

Keyshon Jerome Jackson you were literally one of the

highlights in our lives everyday from the moment you were

born. Being your parents is one of our greatest honours

and there will never be a day that goes by that we won’t

feel blessed to have had you as our son. There are so many

things that we loved about you, the biggest one being that

your heart was so big always trying to heal anyone sad or

upset.

Your sense of humour added levity to any room! Your love

for your family was truly second to none. You were always,

and we do mean always, true to who you were. You did not

sacrifice integrity or compromise your personality to be

accepted or popular.

Your genuine spirit and kindness will carry us through, and

always make us want to be better version of ourselves. One

that you would be proud of! We will strive to emulate and

embody everything you stood for. We know you made us

better people and for sure better parents. We are incredibly

grateful for all of the moments we have to look back on.

Our dearest son we love you forever and always and we

may never be able to put into words what your presence in

our lives meant to us but please know that your infectious

heart, your zest for life, and your entire being makes us not

only proud to have been able to call you our son, but also

makes us smile through the tears. We cherish each and every

moment with you that was given to us and will always do so.

Keyshon is survived by his loving parents Tim and Sheri

Jackson, brother Raphael Jackson, and sister Latesha

Jackson. Also, survived by grandparents Wayne Jackson,

Connie and Jerry Kuntz, Uncles Matthew (Claudia) and

Jeremy Jackson. Aunts Hilary Jackson and Buff y Kuntz

and great Aunt Marion Yas, cousins and many friends.

Predeceased by his grandmother Nina Jackson.

Keyshon you were loved beyond measure and will be

missed beyond words. The world is literally never going to

be the same place for us.

“Thank you for enriching the lives of whom you

touched and thank you for giving us so many

moments to cherish! We love you yesterday, today

and will love you tomorrow".
