On Wednesday, February 2, 2022, at the age of 87 years old, Rudolph Jackson, Sr., slipped away to his eternal resting place. Rudolph was born on April 6, 1934, in New York to the late Nice Alston. He was also preceded in death by his wife, Doris Jackson (1996) and his brother Alvin Vincent Grimes (2014). Rudolph was a loving father and brother. He was an anchor to his family and reminded them often of the importance of the Jackson family name. “He was a giant not only in height but in spirit.” He was a kindhearted person, with a big smile and a good friend to many. He had a firm handshake, partially due to his short career as a boxer. As a child he attended public school and began working at an early age. He held several jobs as a truck driver, warehouse manager and retired from A & P, Shopwell. Rudolph leaves to cherish many memories: 2 sons, Rudolph Jackson, Jr., New York, and Ronald Jackson (Ruth), Florida, and 1 daughter, Lois Jackson, New York. He has 1 grandson, Keith Jackson (Alisha), Florida. He has 6 granddaughters, Clare Jackson and Michella Jackson, Netherlands, Angelique Jackson, Florida, Niasia Lomax and Kalah Lomax, New York, Naketta Barnes (Desmond) North Carolina. He has 5 great-grandchildren, Devin, Nia, Clive, Jamaine and Candace. He also leaves a host of other relatives and special friends including the Key family, the Long family, Tony Kelley and Pleasetta Mason. Rudolph always thanked God for the little things in life. He encouraged his family to pursue a relationship with God and in his last days talked about how he missed attending church in the sanctuary. He served as an usher at his church home, the Bible-Based Fellowship Church of Temple Terrace, Florida and leaves behind his spiritual family from the entire congregation. A SERVICE OF INTEGRITY
