Chad E. Jackson's Obituary
Chad Everett Jackson was born on September 25, 1980, at Mercy Hospital to Doris and Randall Jackson. He spent his early years in Chicago, IL before relocating to Dallas, TX.
At MacArthur High School, Chad’s passion for sports and music grew as he played varsity football and sang in the school choir. After high school Chad attended Northeastern University and later ITT Tech, where he graduated as class valedictorian. In this time, he wed his first love, Kimberly Jackson, and began a family of his own. Chad later played semi-professional football with the Texas Outlaws. Chad loved working as a member of Geico IT support, singing karaoke, creative writing, and traveling the world. More than anything, Chad loved people and greeted everyone with joy and positivity. He was at the start of his next act and looked towards his second chance at love with great enthusiasm.
Chad Jackson passed on September 10, 2023, while playing the sport he loved in Richardson, TX. He was preceded in death by his father, Randall Jackson and ex-wife, Kimberly Jackson. He is survived by his two sons, Malakai and Isaiah Jackson; his mother Doris Jackson; his fiancée Shreeta Ashley; his siblings Randall, Keith, and Dori-Ashleigh Jackson; his in-laws Jordana Jackson and Eric Davis; his grandfather, Stanford Owens and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
