I was lucky enough to meet Don and be his at home barber for quite a few haircuts! He had some challenging cowlicks, which I teased him about every haircut! I loved his wit and sense of humor even though he was in pain. He always greeted me with a smile and a joke. Barney his faithful companion was a joy to see also. Rest in Peace❤️

Don is my friend.
During the 60s and 70s, we both attended Mass at St. Philomena in Des Moines. We probably met each other casually but not as close acquaintances. In the 80s we were both in business, he in development, and me as an engineer/surveyor working on one or more of his projects. When business became difficult, he came up with a quote from Winston Churchill: "Never, never give up". It became our mantra whenever we met.
In the '90s and early 2000s, we occasionally played golf. He frustrated me when he would hit a 5-iron further than I hit my driver. We frequently met for lunch at Dirty Dave's, both ordering a half Jake sandwich and beer then sharing stories of our families and becoming good friends. As our health declined we still met occasionally at Dirty Dave's.
Don was generous, frequently taking our pastor Father Parle on fishing trips and Father's sister Rita Parle to special events as well as just visiting her. One time the 3 of us took the train to Portland for the day. That was enjoyable.
Last Wednesday I had an impulse to call him not knowing he had died on Tuesday. I did not follow through because I had an episode and had to go to the ER and subsequently have a procedure for a pacemaker. I have limited mobility so will miss the viewing on Thursday and the Funeral mass on Friday. I will attend virtually as Sacred Heart expects to stream the Mass.
My thoughts and prayers will be for Jessie, Duke, Pete, and Susan.
My daily prayers will include my friend from now on.
--Bill Hine
I would like to add my remembrances and appreciation for this special, generous man. He had always supported me during my years as mayor of Des Moines and in 1980 he offered me office space in his new building for my ultimately successful campaign to become a state representative from the 33rd legislative district. While he continued his support and encouragement during my years in public office, he also became a personal friend to both Bill and me. With that twinkle in his eye and a slight smile, Don Jackson was truly one of God's good people. May he rest in peace.
--Lorraine Hine

We remember the good times with Don. So sorry for your loss.
The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and he saves those crushed in spirit. - Psalm 34:18
