22 great-grand children and 2 on the way.   A host of nieces and nephews who were all very special to him and many, many friends.

Rob, aka, Mr. Cool was loved by plenty and hated by none.  He never met a stranger and loved and cared for his ENTIRE family.  He was an avid Pittsburg Stealers fan and loved the Michigan State Spartans.  He enjoyed traveling to the casinos with his beloved Antoinette.  Upon retirement from Steel Case of Grand Rapids he moved to New Castle, PA and became a long-time, faithful member and deacon of the Union Baptist Church.   He selflessly cleaned the entire church building every Saturday in preparation for Sunday services.  His travel destinations were unmeasurable due to his love for family.  He was a man who loved to dress and always sharp as a tac, whether in his 3-piece suit with marching hat and shoes or in his pressed blue jeans or shorts with the matching baseball cap and gym shoes.

Rob recently left Pennsylvania to come to Michigan to the home of his son and daughter-in-law.  He lost his battle against Cancer after a courageous fight surrounded by the love of his son, daughter, daughter-in-law, and grandson.

Rob Jackson was a God-fearing man who chose faith over worry.
