September 21, 1976 - March 10, 2022
Adam Christopher Jackson, 45 went to be with his Lord on Thursday March 10th 2022 in his home in Stockton. A fifth generation Californian, he was born on September 21, 1976 in Stockton. He grew to be a gifted musician, both as a remarkable pianist and especially as a vocalist earning much recognition and
numerous high honors for his abilities beginning in his church’s children’s choir and continuing throughout his life. He was a graduate of Lincoln High School, class of 1994 in Stockton and attended San Joaquin Delta College and California State University Sacramento. He was able to travel the world
singing with the Lincoln High School and Sacramento State University Choirs, developing a love of travel that would last the rest of his life. He was nominated two years in a row to “Who’s Who Among American High School Students”. Two of his highest achievements were winning a coveted “Willy” award from Stockton Civic Theater for musical direction and conducting; possibly the youngest to ever win it at age 20 in 1997. He was also a semi-finalist for American Idol in 2005.
He was involved in Christian music ministry directing choirs at several local churches in his early 20s. Loving gems and minerals from an early age he eventually became a certified “diamontologist” and worked at several local jewelers.
Loving son, brother, uncle and grandson he is survived by his grandmother, Marie Schacht; parents, Stephen and Deborah Jackson; sister, Rebecca Hardison (Bruce) and nieces, Meagan and Morgan Hardison. He will be remembered by those who loved him most for his gentle spirit, thoughtfulness and remarkable musical talent.
Family and friends are invited to attend a “Celebration of Life” on Saturday, April 2, 2022, at 1:00 P.M., Vineyard Chapel, Cherokee Memorial Park, 14165 North Beckman Road, Harney Lane at Highway 99, Lodi, CA, 95240. Graveside service will be private.
