Patrick Allan Jackson Sr., age 85, entered the heavenly gates to be with the Lord on December 10, 2022.  He was born April 30, 1937 in California, grew up in Texas, and met the love of his life, Melissa Morris Jackson, in Fort Worth.  They were married 62 years and had 3 children Christina, Patrick Jr., and Jimmy.  Pat received a business degree from TCU, discovered a passion for flying airplanes, and made that his career.  Eastland, Texas is where he considered home, and small town living and ranching made him happy.    The most important thing in Pat’s life was his family. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Melissa, daughter Christina McDuffee and husband John, son Patrick Jackson Jr., and son Jimmy Jackson and wife Lindsey.  He is survived by seven grandchildren: John McDuffee Jr., Amanda Wood, Haley McDuffee, Jolie Jackson, Faith Jackson, Lexi Jackson, and Summer Jackson.  Great grandchildren include Jane Wood, Annie Wood, and Penelope McDuffee.
