Wayne Patrick Jackson


Wayne Patrick Jackson passed away November 17, 2020 at the age of 79. He was a victim of Covid-19.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Wayne and Emma Ann Jackson; wife of 54 years, Mary Sue Bohlinger Jackson; son, Patrick Daniel Jackson; and nephew, Mark Wayne Jackson. They brought three children into the world - Patrick Daniel Jackson, Felicia Jackson (Keith) Steenwyk, and Thomas Wayne Jackson. Wayne was blessed with six grandchildren Cheri Jackson (Charles) Molina, Patrick Jackson, Jackson Steenwyk, Remington Steenwyk, Monique Jackson, and Danielle Jackson. His most recent blessing was the birth of his first great-grandson, Chase Molina. Wayne is also survived by his loving brother, William Jackson; his adoring son-in-law, Keith Steenwyk; daughter-in-law, Adina Jackson; and several nieces and nephews.
Wayne was an avid workout buff, lifting every other day, walking and running on his off days. He retained an unparalleled level of physical health. His friends at Cali Fitness will sorely miss his humor and loyalty. He was well traveled - touring Africa, Australia, the Netherlands, Nova Scotia, Europe, South America, and the United States.
He never missed an opportunity to help a stranger or a friend, and his altruistic behavior will be truly missed! He spent 47 years as a State Farm Insurance agent in Saginaw Township, and with his alluring personality, his career never dwindled.
His family viewed their father/grandfather as an “immortal legend.” Wayne will be greatly missed.
Funeral arrangements will be determined at a later date due to quarantined family members and Covid-19 restrictions. The family wishes all to stay healthy! God bless.
Memories and messages for Wayne’s family may be left in their online guestbook at www.cookcaresbyron.com.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Holy Family Catholic Church, 9669 Kraft Ave. SE, Caledonia, MI 49316.
