David Jackson Obituary

David Clinton Jackson, of Kingston, Arkansas, went to his heavenly home on July 19, 2025, at the age of 61. He was born to Thomas David & Shirley Jean (Johnson) Jackson, on August 15, 1963. David was a Christian & a wonderful singer. He grew up in church & led song service for many years. He recently rededicated his life to the Lord, which was a joyous occasion that now brings much peace to his family. In 1990, David met his "sweetheart", Julia. They began dating in 1993 & were united in marriage on June 17, 1995. They recently celebrated their 30 year anniversary, which was a proud milestone in their love story. They built a family of furbabies throughout their years together & doted on them as their children, especially Sweet Bella Rose. Shortly after their marriage, David began serving with the Kingston Rural Volunteer Fire Department, beginning as a firefighter & first responder, & later serving on the board of directors. He had a passion for helping locate & determine accessibility for landing zones for the life flight helicopters & enjoyed the interactions with others. David was a farmer at heart. He grew up farming alongside his father, tending to poultry & cattle. He had many other jobs throughout the years, but ultimately returned to his dream of owning his own poultry & cattle farm. In his younger years, he worked at the sale barn & hauled cattle. In later years, he thoroughly enjoyed going to the sale barn to watch cattle sell & visit with fellow farmers. He enjoyed all things machinery & loved working with all types of farm & construction equipment. David loved to fish & hunt, but mostly he enjoyed people & loved a good visit. He enjoyed making people laugh & always got a chuckle playing pranks on others. His eyes & smile would light up a room. That's something we're all going to miss so much. David was preceded in death by special furbabies, Shasta, Buddy, & Maddie Mae; his father, Tom; his brother, Daniel Scott; & his father-in-love, Junior Armer. He leaves behind his "sweetheart", Julia Kaye, & his "baby girl", Bella Rose, of the home; his mother, Shirley Jackson, of Huntsville; his mother-in-love, Billie Armer, of Kingston; his sister & brother-in-love, Melanie & Brian Arterbury, of Rogers; & a whole host of family & friends that will miss him dearly.
