It is with loving memory that we honor the life of Carl Edward Jackson.
Carl Jackson, born January 9, 1936, was the second of three children born in Brownsville, Pennsylvania, to Clarence and Sara Jackson. It was in Brownsville that he also found the love of his life, Eula Mae Jackson, whom he was married to for 54 years.
After graduating high school, he enlisted in the United States Coast Guard. After serving, Carl began working for the City of San Diego and studying at San Diego State University. Upon graduating in business finance, for more than 30 years he ran a successful real estate business. In 2003, he was elected president of the National City Chamber of Commerce. Around the same time, he pivoted from a real estate sales career to serving as the Regional Vice President at Primerica.
Carl and Eula were members of Grace Temple and Apostolic Faith Temple Church, where he notably served as a Sunday school teacher and superintendent. He also was a college-level faculty in real estate at San Diego City College.
In 2012, Carl was led to join Abundant Life Apostolic Church in Temecula, founded by Pastor Jimmie Gidron, where he served as Deacon, Sunday School Teacher, Superintendent, and Director of the Men’s and Brotherhood ministries, and then became Associate Pastor in 2015. In 2016, Carl fully endowed a scholarship in his father’s name to make a lasting impact on the lives of deserving students enrolled in the UMOJA program at MiraCosta College. The scholarships will be given in perpetuity.
Pastor Carl Jackson passed on March 16, 2023, and was preceded in death by his wife, Eula Jackson, and son Harry Edwards. He leaves to cherish his memory: his loving sister Doris, and her husband, William Peoples; son Frederick Watson; and a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, church family members, friends, and colleagues.
