Glenn Jackson

Jeremy Glenn Jackson, age 9 of Doree Lane, won the Victory on Sunday, January 14, 2018 at Levine Children's Hospital after a very courageous battle against Severe Aplastic Anemia and GVHD. He was born May 25, 2008 in Cleveland County to John Charles and April Marie Howell Jackson. Glenn was a 4th grader at Beam Intermediate and a member of First Baptist Church. He was an all American boy who enjoyed hunting and fishing, running the hunting dogs, and riding fourwheelers and bicycles. Glenn was a very competitive, All-Star athlete who excelled in all sports. He was also an avid sports fan who pulled for Alabama Football, Duke Basketball, and Seattle Seahawks. Glenn had an amazing sense of humor and he was a fighter in every way. He truly loved all his friends and family and he was a protector of those he loved.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Jerry D. Jackson; and uncle, Charlie Crowder.

In addition to his parents, John and April Jackson, he is survived by his big sister, Halle Jane Jackson; grandparents, Pete and Carolyn Jackson Crowder, Charles Howell, and Mark and Tina Dellinger; uncles and aunts, Jeremy and Donna Jackson, Heath Jackson, Shelly and Harold Lovelace, and Steven and Molly Dellinger; cousins, Garrett, Taylor, Hunter, Carlton, and Carlie Grace Jackson, and Cameron Lovelace; a special family friend, Hunter Moye; and numerous friends and other relatives.
