He is survived by his wife, Lana; a daughter, Rachel Christensen and husband Jeff; sons, John William Jackson and wife Katelynn, Jeff Jackson, and Lyndle Jackson and family; two sisters, Treva Brownlow and husband Jerry, and Nancy Wright and husband Stephen; cousins; and several nieces and nephews.
