Portland Review - Sunday, Sept. 14, 2004

SARANAC- On September 22, 2004, Daryl C. Jackson, age 67, of Saranac, left this 
earth and his loving family due to an automobile accident.

He was born on the family farm in Campbell Township on February 28, 1937, the 
son of Carl Edmund and Amber Cleo (Landon) Jackson.

Daryl attended the Algondon Country School and later the Lake Odessa High 
School. After school, he worked for a short time at the Mitchell Bentley Corp. 
in Ionia.

He served his country in the U.S. Navy from 1956 -1957.

On November 28, 1958, he was united in marriage with Bonnie Bonn.

He transferred from Fisher Body in Lansing shortly after his marriage, to the 
Fisher Body Plant in Grand Rapids, where he worked until his retirement in 
1987.

Daryl always loved farming - it was his way of life. Along with his wife, 
Bonnie, they lived on their family farm where they raised their children.

After his retirement, he began farming on a full time basis. The later 
partnered with his son in the farming operation.

He always said that next to Bonnie, his daughter, Darlene and son, Chris, were 
the most precious gifts that he had ever received. His grandchildren, Jamie, 
Jason, Brian, Christopher, Boone, Aubrey, and Levi were the love and delights 
of his life. 

Daryl loved life - each day was a new wonder to be explored. He loved the smell 
of growing corn, fresh plowed earth, and John Deere equipment. Some of his 
happiest times were spent driving his restored 630 John Deere tractor in local 
parades and tossing candy to the watching children.

He loved his home in Florida and looked forward to the four months that he and 
Bonnie would spend there.

He was preceded in death by his parents; and his granddaughter, Ranae Kristine 
Young.

 Surviving beside his wife, are his daughter and son-in-law, Darlene and Gerald 
Young; son and daughter-in-law, Chris and Carla (Bartholomew) Jackson; 
grandchildren, Jamie, Jason, and Brian Young, Christopher, Boone, Aubrey and 
Levi Jackson; sister, Yvonne Cobb; brother, Harold and Cheryl Jackson, sister-
in-law and brother-in-law, Marjorie (Bonn) and Wayne Stafford; sister-in-law  
Sandra Bonn; sister-in-law and special friend, Jackie Bonn and Phil Goff; 
brother-in-law, Garner Bonn; along with several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, 
cousins and many special friends.

Visitation will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, September 14, at the Koops 
Funeral Chapel in Lake Odessa.

The funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, September 15, 2004 at 
the Koops Funeral Chapel. Interment will take place in Lakeside Cemetery. 

The family has suggested that in lieu of flowers, Daryl's wishes would be for 
memorial contributions to be given to the Ebenezer Center of the West Berlin 
Wesleyan Church, or the Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan.
