As pastors of Geary Jackson, we write what we know of Geary's life.
It has been a privilege to know Geary for the past twelve years. Geary Jackson was born on the 4th of June in 1959. Geary grew up around Salem with many memories and stories of the surrounding area. Geary had a generous heart and was always willing to lend a hand to friends and strangers alike.
He enjoyed fishing, hiking and listening to music. He had a wonderful voice and loved to sing. He was a dedicated member of Bridge Covenant Church, serving in many capacities. He was a faithful member of the prayer team, writing encouraging notes weekly to many. He also sang on the music team and often blessed us with special music sung with all his heart. He is survived by three children; Angela, Thomas and David. He is also survived by his brothers and sisters in Christ who have been forever impacted by his life.
A celebration of Life will be held for Geary on December 6, 2024. Please join us at Trinity Covenant Church which is located at 5020 Liberty St. SE to mourn and celebrate Geary's Life. Service will start at 6:00 pm with a potluck meal directly following.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
