Surrounded by the love of his family, Brian Jackson passed away at the age of 71 on May 15, 2023. 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 26 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. Donations in Brian’s name are encouraged to Hagersville Food Bank, or West Haldimand General Hospital; may the care and compassion of its nurses and doctors (and the nurses of CBI Health) comfort others the way they did our family. The courage, humour and kindness Brian showed throughout his life, to the end, continue to inspire. He’ll be deeply missed. A celebration of Brian’s life will be announced at a forthcoming date. www.rhbanderson.com
