Charles Swan Jackson, III

Charles (Chuck) Swan Jackson III, of Rising Sun, MD, left this earth to be with his Heavenly Father on Sunday, October 12, 2025. He took his last breath as his wife Melissa, son Charles, and daughter Samantha comforted him. Chuck was born in Cecil County on December 17, 1966 to the late Charles Swan Jackson Jr. and Mary Ann (Taylor) Jackson.

Chuck is preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Robin Ann Jackson-Thorne.

Chuck worked for R. L. Jackson, Inc., as a Truck Salvage Yard Worker, what he referred to as his ‘day job.’ Chuck served the tri-state area for over 40 years as a DJ, what he referred to as his ‘fun job’. His love for people and music was immense. Music favorites included Kix and George Thorogood.

Chuck enjoyed spending time with his family, was a supporter of the NRA, and loved driving his 2021 Dodge Durango which he affectionally called ‘The Beast’. In his younger years, Chuck (a.k.a. Cumar) was easily recognized in his 1968 black and gold Ford Mustang that he had fully restored with the help of his dad.

Chuck is survived by his wife of 34 years, Melissa; a son, Charles Swan Jackson IV; a daughter, Samantha Paige Jackson; a brother, Timothy Paul Jackson (wife Leanne); and a nephew, Timothy Paul Jackson Jr.
