He had a wonderful sence of humor and loved people, politics and music. Jackson was a design engineer by trade. His favorite pastime was Carpentry, (boating and oil painting in his younger years.) He is survived by his loving wife, Cynthia Meeker of 34 years, who he would always call "His Angel", also left behind his sister, Linda Chitwood of San Jose, California; children Steve Schmitz of Rogers, Chris & Laura Cunningham of Ohio, along with two grandchildren Ashley and Abby Cunningham and two great-grandchildren; also farewell to one niece and several nephews and good friends.
