Michael Anthony Jackson was born on May 15, 1982, in Washington, D.C., to Paul Roland and Kathleen Jackson.
Michael moved to Ocala, Florida, with his family when he was five years old and grew up surrounded by love and laughter. He graduated from Belleview High School in 1999 and later owned a successful furniture moving business while living in Colorado for several years. Michael eventually returned home to Florida to be closer to his family, whom he cherished deeply.
Though he faced many health challenges in recent years, Michael met them with quiet strength and resilience. He will be remembered for his kind heart, his sense of humor, and the deep love he had for his family.
Michael was preceded in death by his father, Paul Roland; his grandparents, George and Mary Roland; his grandmother, Barbara Saunders; and his grandfather, [First name] Saunders.
He is survived by his loving mother, Kathleen Jackson; his stepmother, Renee St. Denis; his daughters, Aaliyah Jackson, Zoey Jackson, and Raelynn Jackson; his brothers, Gregory Jackson, Jonathan Jackson, and Aaron Jackson; his sister, Teresa (Tim) O'Neill; and many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends who will miss him dearly.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the American Lung Association in Michael's memory.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
