Growing up as a child, Alpha acquired his nickname “Peabo” which fit his personality the same as his uniquely natural red hair. He was a quick learner who was also adventurous. He was educated in the Madison County School District. If he had pursued higher education, the sky would have been the limit for what he could have done as a career. However, Alpha chose employment at Dixie Packers meat processing plant followed by Pizza Hut. At both industries, he was a dedicated worker.
Alpha loved poetry and had a special gift for writing poems as it was one of his favorite pastimes. He also had a passion for playing and watching basketball.
Peabo accepted Christ as his Savior early in his life and became a member of Pineland Missionary Baptist Church.
Peabo loved his family and the great times they spent together. He especially loved his children.
Alpha Omega Jackson transitioned from this earthly life on Thursday, Oct. 28, 2021.

Lauderdale, Fla.; mother, Adean Ward, of Madison; special friend, Delresha Collins, of Madison; brothers: Kendrick Weatherspoon, Tony Hall and Darryl Ward, all of Madison; sisters: Adrienne Jackson and Courtney Akins (Josh), all of Madison; special cousins: Tierra Monique and Shantel Pettaway, both of Orlando, Fla.; Kizzy Mitchell, of Madison; and Tawanna Henderson, of Kenosha, Wisc.; along with many other loving relatives and sorrowing friends.
