Jearel Duffy Jackson, 76, of Angleton, Texas passed away on January 19, 2020 at his home in Angleton, Texas. Jearel was born in Franklin, Texas to Marie and Duffy Jackson on October 11, 1943, but spent most of his life growing up in Clute, Texas with his sister Charlene.

He was an officer for the Clute Police Department for a year and then worked for Dow Chemical where he retired.
