Eddie Tom Jackson

Eddie Tom Jackson, 75, of Stuttgart, passed away on May 1, 2023, in Little Rock, Ark. He was born on July 14, 1947 in Searcy, to his parents, Marlin Leo and Helen Margaret Finney Jackson. He is preceded in death by his parents and his aunt, Ollie Faye Jackson.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Joellen Green Jackson; his daughters, Melissa (Chris) Sullivan and Stacy (Will) Crossen; grandchildren, Maeghan (Vince) Aguilar, Kelsey, Lukas and Kiley Sullivan, and Jade and Chandler Crossen; and his great-grandchildren, Bryson, Logan and Baby Aguilar and Kai Gherst, along with a host of friends.

Eddie was a 1965 graduate of Pangburn High School and was elected Vice President of his Senior Class. He served our country with great pride and dignity in the U.S. Air Force. After leaving the Air Force, Eddie became a Master Plumber and used his skills to help anyone who needed them. He worked hard, but he also enjoyed playing hard. He loved hunting and fishing and being outdoors, but he really loved being with his family. His children were great, but the best of all were his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was eagerly awaiting the new great-grandbaby that is on the way. He bought his grandchildren a book titled "Grandpa's White Cane" and enjoyed it with them.

But not to leave out the most important part of his life is his church. His church family was very important to him and he shared that with his wife and their children. He enjoyed going to the singings every chance he could and he loved singing the songs himself. The family has requested that memorials may be made to the Blind Veterans Association, P.O. Box 90770, Washington, D.C., 20090, www: BVA.org.

All services were under the direction of Roller-Daniel Funeral Home, Searcy.
