A Celebration of Life
In Memory of Brian Jackson
Following the announcement of Brian Jackson’s passing on May 15 this year, his family extends an invitation to celebrate his life on Saturday August 26. Drop in at the Royal Canadian Legion in Hagersville between 1-4pm, with a light lunch and a special presentation at 2:30pm. Everyone welcome.
Surrounded by the love of his family, Brian passed away at the age of 71. Life partner of 51 years to Karin Jackson, father to his sons Ryan (Paula Hearn) and Curtis (Shivaan Burke), ‘Gramps’ to Josie Jackson-Burke, son of Iris and Clarence, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin and friend to many.
He led a rich life filled with passions for cooking, classic cars, carpentry, fishing, the Leafs, the Jays, tennis, family and more.
May 26th would have marked 20 years since Brian began his second career at Heaslip Ford, after retiring from a 30 year career at Stelco Steel. He was well loved and respected by his work families.
The courage, humour and kindness Brian showed throughout his life, to the end, continue to inspire. He is deeply missed.

Karin, Ryan and Curtis - heartbroken for all of you and your families on the very significant loss of such a generous and loving husband and father. Brian was very special to me and my boys and for that closeness, I will be forever grateful.
I was very sad to see his last few months be a struggle for comfort yet he showed such grace, patience and humour even in that struggle.
Karin - Brian was so fortunate to have you care for him so lovingly and devotedly at home. You were always a wonderful couple and tight family and he is definitely gone too soon!
Brian will not be forgotten by his family and his many friends.
❤️Flora and Doug
