Jacob Jackson

PORTLAND – Jacob Jackson, 44, of Lewiston, passed away unexpectedly on April 2, 2024 surrounded by love from his family and friends.

Family and friends were everything to Jacob. He was a friend to everyone who knew him, and even those who didn’t. Jake could make a new friend anywhere he went and usually did. He was never shy and would always offer a warm “hi, how are ya?” to anyone he met in an accent so deep there was no question he was born and raised in Maine.

Jake leaves behind his wife and best friend, Kerry; and beloved daughters Kylee Jackson-Reeve and Haley Jackson. He is also survived by his loving mother, Lavorne Jackson; sister, Bianca Woods and her husband Ryan and nephews Kael and Rennen; sister-in-law, Mary Houle, her husband Kevin, and nephews Nicholas and Jason; brother-in-law, Robert Cashman, his wife Sharon, and children Rebecca, Sean, and Juliana. He also leaves behind his loyal best friends Dixon, Neo, and Pancake/Mothman; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends from all parts of his life.

Jacob was predeceased by his grandparents, Clifford and Phyllis Jackson; mother- and father-in-law, Robert and Geraldine Cashman; and his dog, Simba, who’s been eagerly waiting to share ice cream with him again.

Jake will be missed by all who knew him, but would want all people to live as he did and experience it all without fear.

A celebration of life for Jacob will be held Saturday, April 20 from 2 to 5 p.m. at The Fortin Groups new location at, 305 Alfred Plourde Parkway, Lewiston, ME 04240, followed by words of remembrance at 4 p.m.

The family invites you to wear something in remembrance of Jake. His biggest loves were music, comic books and “The Walking Dead”. Anything that represents Jake is encouraged.
