Lance Jackson Obituary

Lance Alan Jackson was 60 years young when he died last week from leukemia complications, just 12 days after daughter Shea and son-in-law Joe had grandson Cole, and 7 days before son Lonnie III and daughter-in-law Lissa had granddaughter Isabella. In addition to his children and grandchildren, Lance is survived by his mother and stepfather, Joan and Louis; his sister and brother-in-law, Lia and Jim; the mother of his children Karen; nieces and nephews Tasia, Maya, Jayla, Kyle, Jenna, Bryce, and Armon; and his band of brothers-from-other-mothers, Rich, Steve, Wayne, Jeff, and Larry. A devout Christian, Lance prayed until the end. He will be very dearly missed. Services at Inglewood Park Cemetery, 10am PST Sept 3rd. Ask here for virtual viewing info: https://bit.ly/3hG4HM2

I miss our spirited conversations & joy of music we shared. Jazz concerts & last concert together was Maze. Lance prided himself on music as much as basketball. I admired his helping the young men with his coaching. His zest for The Lord existed to the very end. He was proud of his kids, Lonnie & Shea and he fought like nobody's business his health cause he knew grandbabies were coming. Miss you my dear friend. Shelby reminds me of your 100% effort in everything you did. Shelby is the perfectly behaved dog. You left us too soon. Abraxas en el Cielo Para ti.

I never met a more passionate and uplifting individual as I have in Lance. Lonnie & my son Garrett both played D-1 basketball Lance was a significant influence in my Son´s life. I miss my friend, and I will see him again when God calls me.

He was passionate about everything. We laughed, danced, argued, prayed, cried & fought this disease together. When he needed a friend I was there, as a sister in Christ & as a confidant in life. His athletic set of mind was excercised every day in his fight, his training of Shelby & his determination to be the best he could be. He loved his family & was protector & advocate in every way for their best interest.

God was always there with prayer along with worship music. I miss our conversations without filters, intense & heartfelt. A true friend. An honest man, an intelligent soul, & an example of a Godly walk. Thank you so much for the friendship.

You were the inspiration fore the Shotmaster and you trained so many young people and helped them to realize their talent and abilities. You will missed everyday my brother. I will always be there for your family, children and grandchildren. God bless your dear mom and may The Lord keep her in His hands and comfort her always.

Your family did such a wonderful job with the service yesterday and Richie said it all for all of us who have know you most of our lives. Go find Kobe and ask him and ask him why not the The ShotMaster. I know you are already on the case. I will miss you and I will see you again. Mhy condolences to your entire family.
