OBITUARY
Douglas Jackson, passed away peacefully surrounded
by his family.
Born and raised in San Jose, California, he
attended Sacred Heart grammar school, Willow Glen high school and San Jose
State.
He was an active and committed member of St.
Anthony Catholic Church, volunteering his time and talents in innumerable ways.
He was always willing to help and set a great example in dedicating himself to
others.
Doug was a much beloved husband, father, brother,
grandfather and friend. He was a captain with Delta Airlines and Northwest
Airlines for his entire career. He learned to fly in the Navy and loved his
chosen profession. With it he traveled the world, loving the adventure. An avid
skier and golfer, he was still skiing black diamond runs at age 80. Doug had a
loving and calm demeanor and truly enjoyed the funnier side of life. We will
remember his smile.
He was preceded in death by his first wife, Marti,
his brother Darrell and sisters Linda and Terry. He and his current wife Mary
were married for 27 years. He is survived by his son Brian, his stepsons David
and Mark and his five grandchildren, Derek, Miles, Kyle, Ella and Brian Jr. He
loved his family fiercely and we are all so blessed to be the receivers of
this. He arranged countless family vacations that were the highlights of all of
our lives and made family bonds tighter. His grandchildren all spent many hours
playing games with Grandpa including having the kids watch him play “Frozen
Man” while he grabbed a quick nap. He will continue to live on in our hearts.
Funeral will be held on Saturday, February 28 at
10:30am at St. Anthony Mckean Church.
Reception follows at Cinnabar Hills Golf Club.
Donations in his name can be made to St. Anthony
