Jackson Wayne Turner

Jackson Turner passed away on November 13, 2026 at the age of 65 years.

Jackson was born in Fort William (now Thunder Bay), Ontario. He is survived by his daughter, Rebecca 'Beckie' Turner of Kelowna, BC; grandson, Cail Panagopoulis-Turner; mother, Ruth Howe; siblings, Tom, Pam, Evelyn, and Byron; nieces and nephews, Clinton, Carrie, Robin, Keisha and Shauna. 

He leaves behind a family that may not all share his blood, but will forever share his heart. Because he taught us that family isn't always who you're born to, but who you choose to love, Jackson will also be missed by Kendra Thompson, Justin Connolly, Sam Lepore, Jayden, Connor & Caison.

Jackson was happiest enjoying the simple things in life. Whether it was spending time with his family & friends, hanging out at the TNC, going camping, or heading out for a ride on his quad, he loved making memories and enjoying the outdoors. He loved being outside, listening to his favourite music, and taking in every moment. He also never turned down a good Chinese buffet, one of the little things that brought him happiness.

 Above all, he had a special place in his heart for his beloved dog, Max, who he sadly leaves behind. Max was more than just a dog; he was a loyal companion and a very special part of his life.

Jackson will be remembered for his generous heart, his willingness to help others, his love for his family and friends, his laughter, and the memories he created along the way. His presence will be deeply missed, but the stories, smiles, and moments shared with him will live on forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
