Eddy Jackson, age 72, of Chillicothe, passed away on Wednesday, October 15, 2025 at Lacon Rehabilitation.
Eddy was born on July 18, 1953 in Davenport, Iowa to the late Edgar and Lois L. (Osmundson) Jackson.
Surviving are his children, Amy Murphy, Cody Jackson and Cash Jackson, all of Chillicothe, IL; his grandchildren, Aubree Becker, Hensley Jackson, Presley Jackson, Kasen Jackson and Camden Jackson; his great-grandson, Houston Becker; his siblings, Mort (Loretta) Jackson of Tennessee, Chris (Bruce) Evans of Arizona and Rick Jackson also of Arizona; and many nieces and nephews.
Eddy was an assembler at Caterpillar for 30 years, when he retired. Eddy was a diehard Cubs and Bears fan. He would always love to tell you what channel they were on. Everyday. All the time. Many times. Over and over. After a Cubs W he would drive through town with his weathered W flag flying from his window and his dog, and wingman, Chaos hanging out the other side. Eddy had a passion for riding. He loved his Harley. You would most likely run into Eddy at a gas station. He went to many looking for the 1 retirement ticket. He never found it but he did find great relationships as so many folks could tell you. Even the folks waiting 15 minutes behind him weren't mad because he had them laughing. Eddy ultimately was a true 1 of a kind. A man with a big personality but even bigger heart. He will forever be missed. Knees to the Breeze and will see you soon.
Per his wishes, cremation rites will be accorded and a celebration of life will be held at a later date. Memorials may be made to the family. Arrangements are under the care of Weber-Hurd Funeral Home in Chillicothe.
