April 8, 2024

Michael (Mike) John Jackson, 68, passed April 8, 2024 after his courageous 16-year battle with Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease; he was surrounded by family at his home in Littleton, Colorado.

Mike was born to Dale Omar and Dorothy Faulkner Jackson in Lewiston, Idaho. He loved school and always said he’d be content to be a professional student. Mike attended Lane Community College in Eugene, OR (Track and Field). In later years, he attended Front Range Community College in Fort Collins\Loveland, Colorado and received his Associates in Electronics. Mike met the love of his life, Sheri Lewis and married in 1984 and by 1988 had decided to move to Estes Park, CO and called it home until 2017.

To know Mike was to know his many passions in life such as music, dancing, tye-dye, weight-lifting, rugby, ballet, hiking, karate, Tai-Chi, practicing Buddhism, photography, snow sports, religions, languages, competing in the Scottish Highland Games just to name a few. He also loved traveling and thoroughly enjoyed visiting places throughout the US, Europe, the Mediterranean, Scandinavia, Old Russia, Australia, and New Zealand.

Mike is survived by the Love of His Life, Sheri; his three children who are his pride and joy: Mark John and his wife Carrie in Clarkston, WA; Jesse Michael in Spokane Valley, WA; Mikki Lewis and their wife Patricia in Littleton, CO and ten grandchildren: (Mark) Leah, Tyler, LaAnnabra, Grace, and Harmony; (Mikki) Christopher, Tyler, Lilliana, Ivan, and Arya and two great grands: (Mark) Khione and Ignatius (Iggy) and a host of extended family, friends, in-laws and out-laws who loved him and will miss him dearly.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents Dale Omar and Dorothy Faulkner Jackson, and his brother Terry (Buck) Wallace Jackson.

Mike’s outdoor Celebration of Life and Memorial Tree Planting Ceremony will be at our home in Littleton at 10211 W. Ottawa Place, Littleton, CO 80127 on Saturday April 27, 2024 at 11:30am until 1:00pm’ish. All our appreciation to the “Be a Tree” Family.
