Obituaries

“THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH” – Nehemiah 8:10 With both deep sorrow and unshakable hope in Christ, we honor and celebrate the life and legacy of Pastor Leonard Charles “LC” Jackson, beloved husband, father, pastor, and servant of God. Pastor Jackson, a resident of Clinton, Oklahoma, was born on August 29, 1958, in Elk City, Oklahoma, to Archie and Catherine (Howell) Jackson. On Saturday, March 7, 2026, he transitioned from this earthly life into the presence of the Lord at OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma — where we are confident he heard the words every faithful servant longs to hear: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Funeral services for Pastor Leonard Jackson, of Clinton, are pending.
