Madison "Gunn" Jackson

Madison J. Jackson was a unique man. Raised in Middleton, TN, he later made his home in Memphis. He was youngest son of a very large family. He had a strong sense of family loyalty. He worked hard to provide for his family both parents and children. He had an inquisitive mind that allowed him to figure out ways to accomplish most all of the tasks he set his mind to, commonly thinking to himself, "I think I could probably do that" when it came to tasks like building, woodworking, roofing and even bricklaying.
He enjoyed good music, food and movies (especially westerns) and took great pleasure in watching sports and his favorite teams. Madison was an expert hunter and fisherman and an avid jigsaw puzzler. He was a quiet man, but worth knowing and treated people the way he wanted to be treated.
Madison or "Pop" as he was called by family and "Gunn" by his friends was preceded in death by his first wife Louise and later his second wife Mary, both of whom he cared for til the end of their lives. He was also preceded in death by his son Ricky, daughter-in-law Jo, and daughter-in-law Leigh.
He is survived by his son Gerald, his daughter in law's family Betsy, Wes, and Jeni, grandson Jeremy and his grandson's fiancée Mary. He is also mourned by many friends who loved him including his adopted granddaughter and friend Jenny.
