Roger Jackson, 60, of Easton, MO passed away, Sunday, July 30, 2017.

 

He was born March 13, 1957 to Earl and Gertrude (Barton) Jackson in St. Joseph, MO.  He grew up near Easton and graduated from East Buchanan High School.

 

On December 19, 1977, he was united in marriage to Jane Ann Brinton.  After their marriage, they lived in rural Easton where they made their home.

 

Roger was a farmer all his life and owned and operated Jackson Seed and Farm Supply.  He loved spending time with family, and was an avid John Deere collector. 

 

He was a member of Frederick Boulevard Baptist Church.  Roger served on the East Buchanan School Board, and enjoyed supporting local farmers and the FFA.  The smell of fresh cut hay, newly overturned soil, clover, sweet tasseled corn, laughing with his grandchildren, and the sight of a newborn calf were his passion.  His greatest desires were seeking how he could help others and bring glory to His Heavenly Father.  

 

Roger was preceded in death by his parents, infant brother Dwayne, and sister, Earlene.

 

He is survived by his wife Jane, of the home; children, Tabitha (Kenny) Walker, Brad (Sarah) Jackson, and Brandon Jackson; grandchildren, Clinton, Kaylin, and
