Michael Jackson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 1, 2019.
Michael Jackson was born on August 21, 1956 to the parents of Lee Jackson and Willie B. Jackson in Austin, Texas where he graduated from Stephen F. Austin High School. Michael Jackson affectionately lived life. He was down-to-earth, loved to dance and easily connected with people. He never met a stranger and was not afraid to tell the truth. He was known to say "I'ma learn you something." He also loved to cook. Michael Jackson was a very tidy man and loved to see things in order.

On April 24, 2019, God saw fit to summon him from his earthly home to his brand new mansion in the sky. Michael Jackson was preceded in death by his father and mother Lee and Willie B. Jackson, and his sister Jimmie Rae Clemons.

He leaves in God's capable hands his devoted wife Juanita Jackson. His three sons: Michael D. Jackson (Shree), Keith Isaac (Trina) and Michael Lee Farris; one daughter: Sara McCollister, and three step-daughters Demetra Frati (Dennis), Shonna Cooks (Erick), Yvette Woodworth (Edward); his sisters: Marva Kay Duncan, Verna Cannon; and a host of nieces, nephews, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family and friends.
