Early this morning at 5:30am July 21, 2022, Lawrence “Larry” Anthony Jackson Sr, beloved Husband, Father, Brother, Uncle, Grandfather, and Friend passed peacefully in his home surrounded by his precious family just as he’d wanted. He had been very sick since March and decided to come home to be amongst his people in June. Surrounded in his final days by love, laughter, stories, visiting, the drumming and singing of our Ḵéex̱' Kwáan Dancers, and all his favorite foods he was finally able to eat.
His Lingít name was Gooch Éesh of the Yeil (Raven), Kaach.adi from the Kutís Hít, Looking Out to Point House. Our main clan crest is the Fresh Water-marked Sockeye Salmon. His father was Thomas Jackson Sr., Tsaagweidí, the Killerwhale People from the House that Anchors the Village of Ḵéex̱'. It is common for our Lingít people to say at times like this that he has walked into the forest.
His Xaadas (Haida) name was St’aas, he was G’uut (Eagle), Tiits Gitee Nei, Chíin Náay (Salmon House), our main clan crest is the Hummingbird. His mother was Mona Katherine (Ingram, Frank) Jackson from Gaw (Old Massett), Haida Gwaii and also raised in Higdáa G̱ándlaay(Hydaburg). In our Haida way at times like this we acknowledge that the Ancestors have come across the ocean for him in a large canoe and have taken him back across to the other shore. Ja Háw’aa to his Auntie Delores Churchill for sharing this understanding with us.
Larry, also known as Tuffles, and his wife Ellie, who he called “Baby”, who is of the Wooshkeetaan clan, lived and loved in their ancestral homelands of Ḵéex̱' where they raised their family - their children Richie, Nat, Cal-Dan, and Larry Jr., and all their grandchildren- in our Native Ways of Life. Anyone who knows them knows that Ellie was his shining light and he was her rock.
Any donation is welcome during this time. Financial donations can be done through this gofundme or to his daughter Nat Austin via fb pay. We especially want to acknowledge all those coming by with food, and sharing coffeetime with us in a Covid-protocols way to help hold us up. The family will share the services plan at a later point. Aatlein Gunalchéesh, Ja Háw’aa- We thank our community, family, and friends for wrapping us up in this blanket of love and prayers.
