Stephen Jackman
November 2, 1949 - October 12, 2015
Stephen Ross Jackman, 65, of Pleasant Grove, returned to his heavenly home on Monday, October 12, 2015. He was born November 2, 1949 in Provo, Utah to Nolan Ray Jackman and Carol Bell Jackman. He was the second of six children with two brothers and three sisters. Stephen was raised in Provo and attended Provo High School and Brigham Young University. He married Mary Ellen Hedelius on August 16, 1975 in Manti, Utah and together they had six children: April (Marcus) Johnson, Paul (Taramie) Jackman, Karen (Jason) Matsuoka, Daniel (Jen) Jackman, Keith (Tracey) Jackman, and Mary Ann (Daniel) Tonks. Together they have 15 grandchildren whom he adored and enjoyed spending time with. Stephen worked in many capacities throughout his life. He drove a taxi in Salt Lake City and worked at Geneva Steel, but his true love was repairing electronics. Stephen opened Jackman Electronics in 1979 and successfully raised his family by teaching them to work hard at the family business. He became an active member of the downtown business scene in Pleasant Grove in 1989 and enjoyed being surrounded by people in the community. He could fix just about anything, and would frequently spend hours fixing things that he wouldn’t take payment for. Stephen loved camping, fishing, and spending time with his family outdoors. Stephen was always positive and optimistic. Finding the rainbows and sunsets in life was his specialty. Stephen was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout his life, and served in many leadership positions including a councilor in the bishopric, member of the stake's high council and ordinance worker in the Mt Timpanogos Temple.
