Kenneth A. Jackson age 52 of Salem, NH, died Friday at his home after a courageous battle with cancer.

During his lifetime, he was a faithful and truthful employee of Turners Dairy, where he worked for over 31 years. He later worked for Beaver Valley Farm in Pelham, NH.
First and foremost came his family. His love for life, people, and nature were evident in him always. Kenny left a lasting impression. You could never forget his jokes, his smile, and his quest to make you feel like the most important person in the world. Whether you were a new person in Kenny’s life, or a longtime friend, you were always special. Kenny was the most magnificent person anyone ever wanted to meet or know.
