Dr. Jackson was born May 14, 1908, in Starkville. In 1930, Dr. Jackson, often referred to as D. T., answered the call to the ministry and was granted an exhortor's license to preach, then was licensed as a local preacher. In 1932, he was admitted on trial in the Upper Mississippi Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1934, he became an ordained deacon. On Dec. 6, 1936, he was elected and ordained elder and admitted into full connection. For the next 72 years he was under appointment as a pastor, serving as director of Religious Education, conference Secretary of Evangelism, chair of the Board of Ministerial Relations and Qualifications and six years as district superintendent. Dr. Jackson earned a bachelor's degree from Rust College. On his 89th birthday, he was granted honorary master's and doctoral degrees from the Anderson Baptist Seminary.

In 1962, Dr. Jackson was a member of a team of 40 ministers who went to South America on a 30-day evangelistic mission. Being one of only four black ministers on this trip, he was honored because of the challenge and the opportunity to serve a group of persons who were hungry for messages of hope, love, inspiration and community. For years, Dr. Jackson served on the Amory city planning commission. He worked with youth as director of the Neighborhood Youth Corps Program. This ministry provided him the opportunity of meeting Joe K. Pack (Pack- Pack), who provided many hours of comfort by traveling with Dr. Jackson as he performed his pastoral assignment. Dr. Jackson taught school for years and also served as principal. Dr. Jackson worked with the Board of Trustees for the Amory School District.

Jackson Jr. of Chicago and Timothy D. Jackson of Austin, Texas; grandson and caregiver Kenneth Brown of Amory; and a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
