Curtis Eugene Jackson

Curtis Eugene Jackson, 57, of New Castle, IN, peacefully entered the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, at his home on August 4, 2025. He was surrounded by his loving wife, his four sons, and close family. He was born on August 18, 1967, in New Castle, Indiana, the son of Grace and Arnold Eugene Jackson. In his younger years, Curtis enjoyed racing BMX bicycles, cars, the video game Defender, and fixing things that were broken. He pursued plumbing, where he was awarded 2nd place in the National Plumbing Competition. He graduated from New Castle High School in 1985. Curtis worked for several plumbing companies, then started his own company, and later became a proud journeyman plumber/pipefitter for Chrysler from 1994 to 2019. He was a dedicated member of UAW Local 685. A man of many passions, he enjoyed spending time with his family, taking motorcycle trips, fishing with his sons, competitive target shooting, and watching Michael Jordan play basketball. He dearly loved seeing all of God's creation on two wheels and constantly gave God the glory. He was a lifelong fan of Metallica and enjoyed serving on the Patriot Guard, honoring our veterans. Curtis was also the Chaplain of the local HOG Chapter 1277. But above all, Curtis was a faithful servant of Christ. He was a devoted Husband, Father, and friend. He attended Hope Church in Anderson, IN. Curtis openly shared and lived out his faith in Christ with everyone he knew. Curtis is survived by his beloved wife of 38 years, Lisa Jackson; four sons, Tyler (Kara), Jordan (Ashley), Jacob (Cassie), and Drew (Alexis); a sister, Theresa (Rick) Pierce; 15 beautiful grandchildren, his mother-in-law, Carol J. Bumbalough, a brother in law, Jay (Rhonda) Bumbalough; his sisters-in-law, Lori (Sam) Schlagel and Lynae (Kirk) Amman, along with 13 nieces and nephews and two great-nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents, Grace Marie Jackson-Riley and Arnold Eugene Jackson; his stepfather, Charles Riley; his grandmother, Mary George; and his father-in-law, Bob Bumbalough. Curtis’s “Never Quit” mentality was something to be admired. Curtis leaves behind a legacy of love, commitment, and a true testament of faith, strength, and courage to his family. He will be deeply missed but forever remembered and celebrated. Romans 8:18 "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." Written with love, the Jackson Family.
