James Jackson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Schellhaas & Sons F.H. & Cremation Svcs., Inc. - Franklin Park on Sep. 5, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

James K. Jackson, age 70, of Wexford, passed away on Monday, September 1, 2025. He was the devoted husband of Linda (Scalise) Jackson for 48 wonderful years, and together they built a life filled with laughter, love, and endless memories.

Jim was the proud and loving father of Mark Jackson and his wife, Bridget Lydon. He absolutely adored being "Pappap" to his cherished grandchildren, Greyson and Charlotte, who lit up his world and brought him endless joy.

He is preceded in death by his loving in-laws, Joe and Helen Scalise, and is survived by a large circle of family and dear friends who will forever carry his warmth, wit, and wisdom in their hearts.

A man of many passions, Jim was happiest on the golf course, casting a line by the lake, or simply enjoying good times and great stories with those he loved. His greatest joy was always found in time spent with family-especially his grandkids, who were the center of his world.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Jim's life during a visitation on Saturday, September 13th from 4-8 PM and Sunday, September 14th from 2-7 PM at Schellhaas & Sons Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Inc., 1600 Stone Mansion Drive, Sewickley, PA 15143 (Franklin Park/Wexford). A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday, September 15th at 10:30 a.m. in Saints John & Paul Catholic Church of Saint Luke the Evangelist Parish, 2586 Wexford Bayne Road, Sewickley, PA 15143

Jim's life was one filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments-and his legacy will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew him.
