EDWARD (TED) GRAHAM JACKSON
It is with the greatest of sadness that Ted?s family announces the death of their dearly beloved husband, father and grandfather, on Wednesday, March 11, 2015, after a lengthy series of health issues.
Left to mourn Ted?s passing are his loving wife, Daryl; three dearly beloved sons, Jeffrey (Sharon), Chris (Shannon) and Jon; sister Judy Barth; grandchildren, Jesse, Jay, Taryn and Sarra; as well as a great many friends and relatives. He was predeceased by his younger sister, Jane Oddliefson; mother Patsy; and father Graham.
We cannot stress what sadness this has brought to Ted?s family and many long-time friends. He had a heart of gold, and one could always count on Ted, regardless of how much pain he carried.
Ted had a passion for nature. He loved and fed every wild bird and animal that showed up at his doorstep when he was at his favourite place; his cottage at Star Lake. The deer got to know the sound of Ted?s truck, and would follow him when he neared the cottage. Ted was an avid duck hunter, which seems ironic, since he fed them all summer. Being in the marsh was his happy place.
In compliance with Ted?s wishes, no formal Funeral Service will be held.
?It is impossible to say just how very much Ted will be missed.
We love you, a great man?.
