Elijah Martin Jackson, 23, of Stoughton, Wisconsin passed away on June 19th, 2025. Elijah was born August 4th ,2001 in Dallas, Texas. He was a beloved son, brother, nephew, cousin, and friend.
Elijah loved his family deeply. He carried his joy, his strength, and his humor into every room he entered. His soul was gentle, yet his ambition was fierce. He always thought of others before himself. Elijah found happiness in playing basketball while showing both determination and a team spirit that his peers admired the most. During his spare time, he enjoyed watching anime, listening to 80’s and 70’s music, playing video games, working out, riding his bike, and wearing the snazziest clothing. He found the most comfort in enjoying time with his family and friends.
Elijah, during his junior year of high school, made the decision to attend Job Corp, where he earned his high school diploma and then pursued in electrical training, and he put those skills to use with pride and purpose. He then quickly landed a job in construction where he created new adventures and new friendships, along with the countless number of coworkers that will miss him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Josephine Nolan Jackson.
He is survived by his loving family: Father: W. Michael and (wife Francine) Jackson; his loving siblings, Jacob, Jasmine (husband Robert) Rodriguez, Maria, Patrick (wife Holly), Sara Norwood, Meg (husband Pete) Brewer, Timothy (wife Tanya), Paul (wife Cori), Erin (husband Mark) Thornton, Liam (wife Sharon), Clare, Daniel (wife Katie), Eileen, Rachel, Amy, Bryan, Thomas, Lucy, Gemma, Belinda, Colin, Jean, Kevin (wife Kezia), Owen, Josie, Rory, Brigid, Ross, Zoe, Mercy, Julianne, Fiona, Robert, Orla, Luke, and Grace; many loving aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.
His memory will continue to live on through the stories that his family will share for everyone to hear. He may have left this earth at an early age, but he made a huge impact on the people he met in his life. Your family and friends miss you dearly Eli. May you rest in peace knowing that you will watch us from up above, being our guardian angel.
