George Jackson Obituary
George's career spanned over 45 years at General Motors, where his dedication as a plant worker was well recognized. His early years were spent on the farm, which instilled in him a love for the land and hard work. After serving valiantly in the Army during the Korean War, he settled in Detroit, which became his long-standing home.
A devout follower of his faith, George transitioned from being a Jehovah Witness to embracing Christianity as a Kingdom citizen. His spiritual journey was marked by his roles as both a student and teacher of the Bible. George's hobbies included gardening, farming, sports, arts, music, and cooking, reflecting his diverse interests and love for life.
George is survived by his niece Joe Ann Calvin Guardian, sister Emma Wallace, brother Elmer Jackson, nephews Kenneth Wallace, Davis Green, Kendrick Jackson, Fredrick Jackson, and niece Traniece Green. He was preceded in death by his parents Edward and Mamie Jackson, siblings Rose Green and James Jackson, and several other beloved family members.
George's life will be celebrated privately in accordance with his wishes. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to World Vision ministry, honoring his commitment to charitable causes. George's legacy of integrity and grace will be cherished and remembered by all who knew him.

I remember George Jackson shared a time when his sisters were both moving to Detroit MI and his mother. Ms.Mamie asked him to go take care of them. He did. He lived with both his sisters and shared that his mother asked them to care for their brothers.Ms Mamie loved her family and instructor teacher she was told her children to take care of their father Mr.Edward. George obedience and Honor taught that over 93 years of age.

What I will remember about Uncle George is the presence he carried. Although soft spoken, he carried an inner strength that was always felt. He lived the way he wanted to and stood by his values. I will always be grateful for the stories and wisdom he shared when I visited each summer. A kind-hearted man with a strong spirit. Uncle George, you will always be remembered!

I remember every summer as a child, my mom, brother and I would go see Uncle George at his apartment. He was soft spoken, but so thoughtful with his words. He was also always kind and would give my mom money get us hamburgers every time we saw him. What an honorable and sweet soul. We love you, Uncle George
