Jackson, Curtis K.
Obituary
After working for Page Drug, Curt became a staff member of Highland Park Presbyterian Church in 1990. He left the church in 2012 after 22 years when he had to file for disability due to being diagnosed with CIDP (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy), a degenerative neurological disorder.
Curt was a Renaissance man. He was a voracious reader, writer, cook, painter, he spoke 4 languages and he could sew if he needed to create something. He always wanted to learn new things and to challenge himself. He also loved to travel and spoke often of his trips to Alaska, Great Britain, and to the New Orleans World Fair. But his favorite activity, besides loving and caring for his family, was to serve his Lord in whatever capacity he was needed. Curt had a servant’s heart.
Curtis was proceeded in death by mother, Mary Anne Kean Jackson, his grandmother, Dannie Margaret Kean, father, William Pleasant Jackson, father-in-law, Ray Tubaugh and sister-in-law, Dixie Kae Tubaugh Ellison. He is survived by his wife, Devana Vae Tubaugh Jackson, son, Daniel Ray Jackson, brother, Tom Jackson and his wife Suzanne Gamboa, mother-in-law, Lorene Tubaugh, sister-in-laws Donna Pfannebecker and Drenda Tubaugh, brother-in-law, Jim Ellison and brother-in-law Darrin Tubaugh and his wife Vickie. Curt was also the loving uncle of a host of nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews, some who called him “Uncle Durt” when they were young. He is also survived by our two loving Pomeranians, Tabitha and Tolie, who were his constant companions during his days at home.
The Celebration of Life for Curtis Jackson will be held on Saturday, December 20, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church located at 7900 Lovers Lane, Dallas TX 75225 (located at the southwest corner of Lovers Lane and North Central Expressway). In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church or to St. Christopher’s Montessori School.
The world has lost a loving, kind, gentle, intelligent, sweet, helpful, faithful, loyal and compassionate man. We are better people for having been a part of his world.
“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things: I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” Matt. 25:23

Dear Devana and Danny my heart is breaking for you. I am praying for peace and healing in your family during this difficult time. Curt was a dear sweet man, and I know he is in heaven fully healed and waiting for you.
Devana and Danny,
We all loved Curt, and we love you too. We are filled with memories of a man who made us laugh, told fantastic stories, and “walked the walk.” We miss him very much.
Devana as Curt goes on to see his Father, I know the golden gates are wide open to him. I pray for peace in your heart knowing that Curt was a good servant of God.
Danny as your father marches in
with all the Saints, he will look down on you and I know you will forever hold him in your heart. God bless both of you.
Our hearts are with you all. We fondly remember a loving family who shared so much with a larger “family” of friends over the years, beginning with Curt’s lovely mother Anne and carried on by Curt, Devana and Danny; Tom and Suzanne. We are grateful to you for happy memories and wish you comfort.
Curt led a life of devotion to others, and so it was a life well lived. A wonderful guy with a great heart who will be missed. Our family has been lifelong friends with Anne and her sons and so we send our condolences to Tom, Suzanne, Devana and Danny. Be strong in this difficult time. – Brian Ford
