Aaron age 51 was born to Charles and Marilyn Jackson in Columbus, Ohio. Aaron suddenly departed this life, on March 3, 2024 at Mount Carmel East Hospital. His loss is completely unexpected, and his family is profoundly saddened.
Aaron was a crew member for Rahal Letterman Lanigan race team.
Aaron had a gift of making everyone feel like family. He constantly made it a point to check on people and was always a source of positivity. To merely say that Aaron cared deeply for his wife, his son, and his family would be an understatement. Aaron was passionate about life, and believed in living life to the fullest.
Aaron loved camping and was always refining his techniques in order to reclaim his title of the winner of the annual rib competition. He loved watching his son play basketball overseas and even though the commentary wasn't in English, he loved hearing the commentators shouting "Jackson" knowing his beloved son was being celebrated. He picked up enough soccer to shout out refs while watching Aarren play, and he loved watching his nephew Anthony on the baseball field. He raved over his niece, Kelli's cakes, and was a huge fan of her artistic ability. He was an avid OSU Buckeye fan, Go Bucks!
He was preceded in death by his mother Marilyn Jackson and his father Charles Martin Jackson.
He leaves to cherish precious memories his wife Elyshua Jackson; son Aaron Jr.; step-children, Marlee and Aarren; Sister, Tamara Jackson; Niece, Kelli Howell (Matt Duvall); Nephew, Anthony Charles Hines; and a host of cousins and other family and friends.
His departure comes as a great shock and a deep wound, and it is gravely felt by his entire family and countless others who loved him deeply. His friends describe him as nothing but kind, loving, caring, warm, awesome, and wonderful. He will be remembered for all the heart he shared with his family and friends. He will be missed more than words can say.

Sharing words of comfort I once heard:
Providing God´s perspective of time, a minister divided a loved one´s age by a thousand years, months, days, to an hour... to a minute. And when he finished with the math, he had shown how our time here on earth was soooooo miniscule.
You know how we always say, "See ya in a minute."? That´s how long it will take before you see your Dad, your brother, your uncle and your cousin again.

My fondest memories of Aaron is when we use battle in basketball practice when we played at Urbana University. Aaron was always laughing and cracking jokes. He was thoughtful and intelligent. I am definitely going to miss him. Love you Aaron.
