I Miss Your Laughter, Fun, and Gentleness
I miss your laughter, fun, and gentleness. I miss the things I used to do for you.
I miss the time, now filled with emptiness, When each day was a stage for something new. I miss your love, though mine for you remains,
A passion with no outlet to the sea, A teardrop in a desert, that contains What's left ofmy maternal ecstasy. I miss your presence, like a sileni chord That anchored even solitude in grace. 1 miss. for my love's labor, the reward Ofseeing some small pleasure in your face. All these I miss, and yet they are all here Within my heart, far more than I can bear.
Thank vou from the family
We would like to thank those who have reached out to show your condolences during this time. We are forever grateful for all ofyour kind words and acts ofkindness. It has truly been a blessing to have had your support during this entire time and even now.

Obituary
Levert Ricardo Jackson was born on April 1, 1949 to Frank Jackson and the late Edith Jackson. He was brother to Verlena Hammonds (Melvin Hammonds) and the late Francstina Dallas (Raymond Dallas), Priscilla Presley, Ricky Wilcox and Leon Wilcox. Husband to Levern Jackson and father to Kimbra Jackson and Deidra Queen (Jerry Queen). He was grandfather to Deja & Kaleb Queen. He also leaves behind a host ofmany other relatives.
Known by most as Mr. Sweet and to some as Pop, he had a unique and colorful laugh that made you laugh just by listening. He was a man who always spoke his mind, whatever came up came out and before he took anything back he added more to it. He was l1 mar: who never met a stranger, was always the life ofany party and always left a lasting impression. He was a devotedfamily man, friend and corifidant to many.
Mr. Sweet is now done with the troubles of the world
and will truly be missed by us all and as he would famously say, POINT, BLANK, PERIOD.
