Paul E. Jackson

Paul E. “Tiny” Jackson, 66, of Newburgh, IN, and formerly of Memphis, TN, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at Deaconess Gateway Hospital, wrapped in the love of the family he cherished most.

Paul was born on January 24, 1960, in Rolling Hills, PA, the son of the late Lawrence E. “Larry” Jackson (1996) and Nancy E. (Miller) Jackson (2009).

For more than 30 years, Paul built his career in the airline industry, a path that suited his adventurous heart. He loved to travel and see the world, and he was always ready for the next adventure. An avid sports collector, Paul was a loyal fan through every win and every loss, cheering faithfully for the Philadelphia Eagles, Penn State, and the New York Yankees. But his greatest joy was always his wife and family. Paul loved them deeply.

Paul leaves behind the love of his life, his devoted wife of 25 years, Carol S. (Payne), who will carry his love in her heart always. He is also survived by his brother, Alfred (Carolyn) Jackson of Metamora, IL; his mother-in-law, Linda Sue Matlock-Garrett of Owensboro, KY; his brother-in-law, Michael (Theresa) Payne of Hartford, KY; three nieces, Chelsea (Parker) Jackson-Loesch, Holly (Cory) Grove, and Rilee Jackson; three nephews, Chaise (Hannah) Payne, Blaise Payne, and Cody (Kendra) Hart; and several great-nieces and great-nephews. Special friends Karen (Bobby) Holt.

A service celebrating Paul’s life will be held at a later date in Cape May, NJ, at Tabernacle Cemetery. A portion of his ashes will be lovingly kept until the day he and Carol are reunited, when their ashes will be scattered at sea together. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Paul’s memory to St. Jude in Memphis, TN.

Paul will be deeply missed and forever loved by all who knew him. Rest easy, my love. Until we meet again.
