Thomas Gregory Jackson

Thomas Gregory Jackson, 32, a resident of Chesapeake, VA passed away on Sunday, May 10, 2020 at his home in Chesapeake.

Born on October 19, 1987 in Havelock, NC he was the son of Gregory A. and Elizabeth (Yale) Jackson of Chesapeake, VA. Thomas was a graduate of Kempsville High School class of 2006. In 2010, Thomas graduated from Old Dominion University receiving bachelor’s degrees in both accounting and finance. Despite his bachelor’s degrees and a license to practice in real estate, he pursued establishing a more labor-intensive business of his own, providing moving and hauling services as well as pool repair work and other “hands on” work.

To everyone Thomas knew and met, he will be remembered as a fun-loving and passionate soul who could uplift with his intellectual and warm conversation. He loved the outdoors especially hiking and fishing. Thomas was an avid soccer player, playing on travel teams and his varsity high school team. He loved spending summers on his grandparents' dairy farm and with his black labs, Toby and Maxx.
