In addition to a plethora of uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, and nieces, Tom Jackson is survived by his daughter Katie (R.J.) Phelps, two adored grandsons, Watson and Chandler Phelps, sisters, Jackie Lynn Childers and Kozetta (Jeff) Stewart.
The entire nursing staff at Kennestone Hospital, Drs. Klass (Oncology) and Kevin Smith (Palliative Care), the Respiratory Care Team, the Trauma Team, and everyone else at the specific hospital who assisted in Tom’s care and offered consolation in his final days were also thanked by his family.
At On the Border in Kennesaw, Georgia, on Sunday, March 12, 2023, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., the family will host a celebration of life.
