Rest in Peace Lawrence Jackson

It is with a heavy heart that I have to share the sad news of the passing of my dear Brother Lawrence Jackson. I remember like it was yesterday when he was joining the Navy and asked me to go along. I told him, I was going to stick to this “Jackson Five” project, and when he gets back from Navy, I would have made it, and would offer him a Job.

True to my word, when he got back, we had made it, and I made him the road manager of the Jackson Five.

3 Months ago, I had a strange urge to see him, dreaming repeatedly about him. I gathered my strength and flew down to Santa Barbara and spent the day with him in person. It was the last time I would see him alive.

Rest in Peace my dear Brother. I will miss you

Very sad. Is this the brother that had the nine or ten kids-all those cousins that hung at the Jackson house?

I wonder of PrinceParisBlanket billion/hundreds of thousands had to support him or pay for the funeral services. Probably so.

Maybe not. They look to be enjoying their visit in a mobile home. I had one of those joints back when I was 19 and thought I was grown. I know the look. If Joe is involved in funding the service he probably will lay his brother to rest in a pine box.

R.I.P. to him.

I find it rather interesting that he lived in Santa Barbara, because that's where Neverland was located. I wonder if he and Mike had somewhat of a close relationship.

I heard Michael, at one point, raised two of his cousins Levon and Elijah, and if I'm not mistaken Lawrence was their grandfather, I'm not sure. I remember them from the commemoration video of MJ visiting his hometown Gary Indiana in 2003, they were in the limo with Mike and all.

Longtime J5 fan here and I never heard anything about Lawrence being a road manager for the J5. Maybe that was in name only.

And the part about Lawrence "asking" him to join the Navy sounds strange. Considering Joe's age, it seems he would have been drafted unless he dodged the draft.

Oh pleeez. Based on these photos, it's clear he wasn't living "high on the hog."

I'm surprised many of you didn't know Joe had a brother(s). Remember the guitar Tito broke belonged to Joseph who was in a blues band(The Falcons) with his other brother Luther.. Luther was also mentioned once or twice in the Jacksons movie.

Me neither. I found this post though, and it's very insightful

The story of joe's mother is interesting. Im curious about the brother Luther, johvonnie claims he's not Samuel's biological son, so i wonder if he was the result of one of crystal's disappearing acts and she came back pregnant and her husband raised the baby as his.

Yeh
Michael took them in when their father (Joe's brother's son) died. If I'm not mistaken there was another boy and daughter too he helped raise.

I'm an old time fan too, and I know I read about his brother being the road manager at least 40 years ago. I thought that's how he ended up in California with all his kids (the Jackson's first cousins). But til today, I thought Luther and Lawrence were the same person and Joseph only had one brother. Elijah,Levon,Simone,Rio,and Anthony were all the children of Michael's first cousins.
