Brian Lamar Jackson, born on January 9, 1980, passed away on July 25,  2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to his family and community.

Brian was the beloved son of Clarence Mitchell Jackson Sr. and Rhonda Patterson Jackson Bennett. He was a cherished brother to Autumn Renee  Jackson, Clarence Mitchell Jackson II, C-Man Jackson, Hakeem Jackson,  and Ke’shon Jackson. He also shared a brotherly bond with his cousins  John Jackson and Jevaughn Jackson, who were raised alongside him as siblings.

Deeply devoted to his nieces and nephews, Brian poured love and support into their lives. He was a proud uncle to Mahkiya Jackson, Mahkayla  McBride, A’naea Rankin Jackson, Hunter Gallman Jackson, Daydra Jackson, Jocelyn Renee Jackson, Clarence Mitchell Jackson III, Ja’ray Jackson, Raysean Jackson, Marcellus Jackson, and Marquis Jackson. His nurturing spirit extended to the next generation as well, including his great-niece Mai’onna Jackson and great-nephew Clarence Mitchell Jackson IV.

Brian was preceded in death by his grandparents Joyce Ann Timbers Patterson, V.W. Patterson, Mary Teasley, and George Jackson; and his aunts Patricia Jackson, Marie Wilson, and Crystal Lynn Patterson.

A graduate of Penn Hills High School, Class of 1999, Brian went on to earn an associate degree in Pharmaceutical/Medical Technology and became a  Certified Nurse’s Assistant (CNA). He was also a graduate of the Brown Institute. Throughout more than a decade in the medical field, Brian was

Brian had a deep passion for music, especially the soulful sounds of artists like Mary J. Blige and Aaliyah. Known for being outspoken, punctual, and  outgoing, he brought energy and authenticity into every space he entered. He cherished all of his family and was truly the definition of a “Mama’s Baby,” always showing immense love and respect for his mother and those closest to him.
