Everette Michael Jackson
Everette Michael Jackson, 37, died on May 5, 2023 at Methodist Hospital in Rochester, MN after an insurmountable battle against multiple myeloma.
Everette (Michael) was born in Detroit, MI on October 28,1985 to Charles and Gwendolyn Jackson. He graduated from Shrine High School in Royal Oak, MI in 2004. He attended Loyola University in Chicago, IL and graduated in 2010 with a BBA in accounting. Everette spent over a decade living, working and loving life in Chicago, IL.
In 2016, Everette moved to Rochester, MN to pursue his ever-loving passion for adventure. It also happened to be where he met the love of his life, Molly, in February of 2018. They quickly made a home and began to plan for their future together. Just one week after his 33rd birthday, Everette received a devastating diagnosis of cancer. Through all of his treatments, he maintained the most positive energy. Everette proposed to Molly on May 1, 2021 in his signature spectacular style by planning a flash mob. Together, they celebrated a beautiful wedding ceremony on November 19, 2022 in Rochester, Minnesota surrounded by loved ones.
Everette experienced more life in 37 years than most people do in an entire lifetime. He had an innate ability to connect with people. His larger-than-life personality, infectious smile and unrelenting curiosity always brightened any room he entered. He was utterly fearless—with the exception of heights. His legacy and impact will continue on in the hearts, actions and memories of the lives he touched.
Everette (Michael) is survived by his wife, Molly (Giehtbrock) Jackson of Rochester, MN, mother, Gwendolyn (Mack) Jackson of Oak Park, MI, father, Charles Jackson of Grand Blanc, MI, sister, Nicole Jackson of Oak Park, MI and hundreds of loved ones all around the world.
A celebration of life and memorial service will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, May 26, 2023 in the River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home in Rochester, MN. Visitation will be from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Arrangement for burial services will occur in Detroit, MI via James H. Cole Home for Funerals.

Condolences
The family of Everette Michael Jackson has received the following condolences.
I just learned of your loss of Everett. I am profoundly saddened. He was such a wonderful young man whom I met at Trader Jo’s and the Rochester Art Center.
Cancer is a horrible diagnosis particularly when one is just starting their life. Ev had so much promise!! I am thrilled to know he had such a lovely partner in Molly to carry him through the hardship of cancer. Life is ALWAYS the quality—not the quantity. Blessings to you!!

To my sweet gentle nephew you will be truly missed. ??
Mike condolences to the family and friends of my Matador teammate Everett Jackson, he was truly one of the most wonderful people you would ever to be honored to call your friend. I'm going to Miss Everett and my heart is still breaking because of the fact that he's not here.
I send my condolences and my prayers to his wife, his family and all of his loved ones. Rest in peace Everett, God bless you
God bless you, Everette. It was wonderful to have known you at Loyola and then to have caught up in Rochester a few years ago. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
We first met when we were freshmen in college. I was totally out of my comfort zone being so far away from my family, but he treated me like family, always being genuinely happy and cheerful whenever we crossed paths. I'll never forget the warmth and laughter he brought with him anywhere.
To the family and dear loved ones of Michael, I pray that God will bring you peace and comfort in this time of mourning. May thr gospel of Jesus Christ our savior bring you consolation in knowing that as long as we remain strong on our faith, hope and above all else love, that one day we will meet again in joy and merriment.
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award me on that Day, and not only to me but also all who have loved His appearing."
2 Timothy 4:7-8
Michael was the first person at Trader Joe’s to smile at me when I went in for my first interview and I thought he was so cool ? I really loved working with Michael and getting to know him at work. He was an incredible person who made everyone feel important ❤️
My dear nephew ,
I will remember your gentle soul and sense of humor. You never met a stranger. Thinking of you Molly brought joy to my heart??
Molly,
I am so sorry to hear of Michaels passing. So happy for the time you two did have. Praying for you and your family. Rest in peace Michael.
