Gerald Jerome Jackson

He was preceded in death by his parents, Louis and Helen Jackson; his partner, Gina Stovall; and his former wife, Dianna Kay Kelley-Jackson.

Gerald is survived by his children, Louis Jackson and Helen (Alan Wanninger) Jackson; his grandson, Sebastian Wanninger; and his brother, Robert L. (Ann Gillooly) Jackson.

A hardworking man throughout his life, Gerald owned and operated a wholesale food service business for many years. He devoted himself fully to his work, not for recognition or wealth, but to provide for and support his family. His family will remember him as someone who never knew a 40-hour work week — his dedication and persistence were simply part of who he was.

When he was younger, Gerald found joy in catering weddings for his family, taking pride in helping create memorable celebrations. He also loved sharing stories from his past and childhood, often bringing laughter and nostalgia to those who listened. In his spare time, he loved relaxing with classic movies and listening to old music, finding comfort in the familiar sounds and stories of the past.

Gerald will be remembered for his selflessness, strong work ethic, and the love and care he showed to his family and friends throughout his life.
