Brett Jackson
February 19, 1993 - April 6, 2017
On April 6, 2017, Brett William Jackson of Edmonton, Alberta, unexpectedly passed away at the age of 24.
He is survived by his parents Larry Jackson, Holly Hewko of High River, AB; step-mother Cherie Jackson; surrogate parents Frank and Brenda Rooney; sister Ashlie; brothers David and Cole; lifelong friends Sheldon, Patrick, & Ryan; and his dog Tank, predeceased by his dog Turbo. He is also survived by his grandparents Don and Loretta Hewko of High Prairie, AB, and was predeceased by grandparents Fred and Phyllis Jackson of St. Stephen, NB.
Brett also leaves behind his uncle & aunt Dale and Laurie Cox of Peace River, AB; uncle & aunt Kevin and Mickey Cox of High Prairie, AB; uncle & aunt Doug and Cathy Hewko of High Prairie, AB; uncle Donny Hewko of High Prairie, AB; aunt Carol Mason of Rothesay, NB; uncle & aunt Jeff and Susan Irving of St. Stephen, NB; uncle Darren Jackson of London, ON; uncle & aunt Shawn and Vanessa Bower of Sherwood Park, AB; and cousins Kimberly, Clinton, Dustin, Ryan, Kelly, Jackie, Tyler, Karleen, Adrienne, D.J., Megan, Becky, Lindsay, Mallory, Greg, Scott, Brooklyn & Beau; as well as numerous other extended family and friends.
Born February 19, 1993, Brett lived between High Prairie & Edmonton, with numerous stays in New Brunswick in between. In his younger years he enjoyed playing hockey, soccer, ball hockey, swimming & karate. As he grew older and moved out to the yard, it was dirt bikes, quads, sleds, then turbo sleds, trucks, then bigger trucks, then Big Sexy. He was an active member of Western Canadian Powerstrokes. He was a journeyman B-pressure welder, with numerous inspector tickets. Throughout his life, his biggest asset was his beautiful smile and the twinkle in his eye. He thrived on being the go-to guy – anybody who needed anything knew to call Brett. His biggest passion was being a big brother, a great son, an awesome friend, and tire shine. He will be sorely missed by all.
The family welcomes anyone wishing to celebrate Brett’s life to join us at the Howard & McBride Chapel of Chimes Funeral Home for visitation on Monday April 10, 2017 from 6-9 pm, and on Tuesday April 11, 2017 from 10 am-1 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association or the Edmonton SPCA.
