Harry Malone Jackson

Harry Malone Jackson, age 75, of Kings Mountain, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, October 14, 2021 at his home, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born in Rutherford County, NC to the late William Howard and Essie McFalls Jackson, and moved to Kings Mountain shortly afterward. Harry was also preceded in death by his sister, Claudette Jackson Conner, his twin brother, Larry Salone Jackson., two nieces, Cindy Thompson and Pamela Darlene Jones and his in-laws, John and Beulah Jones.

Harry graduated from Kings Mountain High School in 1964, attended Gaston College, and worked at FMC Lithium where he retired after 36 1/2 years of service. Other than Harry's passion for his Lord, his family, church family, golf "brothers" and Mountaineer Cruisers Classic Car Club, he loved living in Kings Mountain, drinking coffee with his buddies and just enjoying life everyday with a big smile on his face. He was an active member of El Bethel United Methodist Church where he sang in the choir, served on the Finance Committee, and enjoyed working at their breakfasts over the past several years. Harry was known by several different names given by his friends, "Fuzz", "HJ", but was the best husband and friend to his wife of 50 years, Elaine Jones Jackson and best dad to his daughter, Laura Beth, of the home. He was an avid sports lover and could often be found watching football (Green Bay Packers), baseball (Atlanta Braves), or basketball (Carolina Tarheels). He loved playing golf with his brothers most of all, having made 5 holes-in-one over the years.

He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Elaine Jones Jackson, daughter Laura Beth Jackson, brothers: J.T. "Sonny" Jackson and wife Brenda of Kings Mountain and Jerry Jackson and wife Desiree of Dallas; uncle and aunt Floyd and JoAnn Jackson of Gastonia; sister-in-law Pat Jackson of Kings Mountain, brothers and sisters in law, Johnny Jones and wife Sandy of Kings Mountain and Carolyn Falls and husband Hal of Gastonia, and many beloved cousins, nieces and nephews, and you all know he loved you.
