GEORGE WARDEN JACKSON

June 20, 1935 – November 10, 2024

George Jackson, born George Warden Jackson on June 20, 1935, in Orangeville, Ontario, Canada, passed away on November 10, 2024 at the age of 89 in Carberry, Manitoba.

Known for his vibrant personality and profound love for his family, George was a central figure in the lives of his beloved wife Theresa, their four children, their partners, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

George's early years were marked by a deep connection to family, his community, and values that he carried throughout his life. He was an extravert who thrived in the company of others, exuding warmth and kindness in every interaction. His passions included gardening, animals, music, and notably, cooking - a skill that earned him the affectionate nickname "The Good Cooker."

His service in the military as a cook was a significant chapter in his life. Although he never served in active combat, his roles were crucial in supporting his fellow service members. His dedication to his duties took him away from his family at times, a sacrifice that did not go unnoticed. George was a proud veteran.

A memorial service and a celebration of George’s life will be scheduled for the summer of 2025, where family, friends, and comrades can share memories and honour his legacy.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Cancer Society of Canada, 55 St. Clair Avenue West, Suite 300, Toronto, ON M4V 2Y7 or the Kidney Foundation, #209 – 2211McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 3M5 reflecting George’s compassionate spirit and his enduring concern for the welfare of others. These contributions will serve as a tribute to a man who spent his life nurturing and supporting those around him, ensuring his legacy of love and service continues to impact the world.
