Don Jackson

January 15, 1943 — February 14, 2023

Don Jackson, 80, of Cleveland, TN departed this world on February 14th, 2023. He passed at a local hospital surrounded by his loving wife and son. He was born in Chattanooga, TN on January 15,1943. He attended TMI Tennessee Military Institute in Sweetwater, TN. Don was happily married 41 years to his loving wife Elizabeth Ann Harrison Jackson of Cleveland.

He has served the Cleveland area and well beyond for more than 40 years as the owner of Don’s Custom Interiors. His work has won many awards across the country in car shows.


He was a dedicated husband, father and grandfather “Poppy” to his family and his legacy will live on through all of them. He was a mentor and role model that was open to sharing his knowledge and expertise with anyone who was willing to listen. He enjoyed working closely, alongside his son at Don’s Custom Interiors where his wealth of knowledge and experience in work and life were truly a gift. There was never a problem that he couldn’t solve in his own unique way and loved to teach others. He was an outdoorsman who enjoyed all aspects of the lifestyle including hunting and camping. He loved spending time helping in his wife’s flower garden and making sure that everyone knew how much he loved her. He loved to listen to his daughter and granddaughter sing, especially his favorite, “The Old Rugged Cross” and watching his grandson play baseball and basketball or giving him advice on fixing his truck. He will be missed greatly but the mark he left on all our lives will never be forgotten.


He was preceded in death by his father, Melvin Lee Jackson; mother, Mary Lou Jackson; and brother, Jack Jackson

Survivors include his loving spouse, Elizabeth Ann Harrison Jackson; daughter, Sabrina Calfee (Jason Calfee); son, Lee Jackson (Fiancé’ Kim Rippetoe) of Cleveland; granddaughter, Danielle Calfee; grandson, Jacob Calfee; and bonus granddaughter, Victoria Rockholt of Ringgold, GA.
