William Christopher Jackson passed away peacefully at his home on January 6, 2019 at the age of 79 years. Bill was born July 19, 1939 and was a life-long Tulsa resident. He graduated from Central High School in 1957 and received an engineering degree from OSU, an MBA from UCLA and a JD from the University of Tulsa College of Law. Bill proudly served in the Air National Guard including two years of active duty.

Bill practiced law in Tulsa and managed the family businesses. One of Bill's greatest passions was helping others. For 22 years, he was a voluntary tax preparer through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program (which later became the Community Action Project). He generously provided pro bono legal assistance to many individuals. For many years, he was a dedicated volunteer at Mayfest, the Bluegrass and Chili Festival and the Greenwood Jazz Festival.

He is survived by his wife, Stephanie, son, William Charles Jackson (Courtney), step-daughter, Anne Gillingham (Clint), step-son, Chris Darnell, brother, Robert L. Jackson (Andrea) and grandchildren, Nellie and Foster Gillingham. Bill will also be fondly remembered by other family members, friends and caregivers. He was the kindest, most generous and humble person you could meet.

A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, January 16, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. at All Souls Unitarian Church, 2952 S. Peoria Ave., Tulsa.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Oklahoma Mothers' Milk Bank (901 N. Lincoln Ave., Suite 330, Oklahoma City, OK 73104) or to the charity of your choice.
