Mr. Charles Edward "Jack" Jackson

Charles E. Jackson, affectionately known as “Jack,” of Magnolia, Arkansas, entered eternal rest on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at the age of 70, at St. Vincent North Hospital in Sherwood, Arkansas. He was born May 2, 1953, to Gracie Mae McCray Jackson and the late Junior Lee Jackson in Magnolia, Arkansas. He received his spiritual rearing at New Bethel Baptist Church—which led him to accept Christ as his Lord and Savior at an early age. While his church membership was still at New Bethel, he began to accompany his wife and family and became a devoted attendee at Unity A.M.E. Church. Charles’s formal early childhood education began at Freehope School located in the Freehope community of Magnolia, AR. His education then transitioned to Calhoun Heights and to Columbia High School. He completed his educational journey at Magnolia High School where he was a member of the class of 1970. After graduation, Charles’s professional path included years of employment at Howmet, Alumax, Alcoa, and Sapa Extrusions—presently known as Hydro Extrusions. He held the positions of Crane Operator and Lead Man while there. He was Supervisor at the time of his retirement after being there for 37 years. On November 5, 1972, he married his high school sweetheart, whom he claimed in the 3rd grade, Vevelyn Ann Jamerson. To this union, he was blessed with three doting children whom he adored with all of his heart. Charles was a loving and treasured husband, father, son, brother, grandfather, uncle, and friend. He was a great provider for his family and wouldn’t hesitate to help anyone who needed his assistance. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, traveling, spending time with family and friends, and supporting his grandchildren with their school activities. His family loved watching him as he stayed critiquing his grandchildren, Nycholus and Amani, on their basketball skills. One would’ve thought that he was their coach; and no one could tell him that he wasn’t. He also, without a shadow of a doubt, enjoyed hanging out with “The Guys.” Charles was preceded in death by his father, Junior Lee Jackson; maternal grandparents, Bobbie and Dock McCray; paternal grandparents, Addie Lee and Fred Jackson; six aunts: Odessa Jackson, Annie Pearl Cooper, Essie Bell Moore, Elnora Hildreth, and Nettie Bell Hildreth, Hazel Weaver; seven uncles: Acie Jackson, Carvin Jackson, and Willie Jackson, Carl McCray, Forrest McCray, Obie McCray, James Cross; and nephew, Marlon Jackson.
