David Allan Jackson, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away on May 30, 2024, in Wisconsin Dells, at the age of 64. Born on June 16, 1959, to the parents of Douglas and Margaret (Degroot) Jackson in Hillsboro, Wisconsin.
David graduated from Elroy High School in 1977. His passion for craftsmanship led him to further his education at a technical school in La Crosse, Wisconsin. His professional life was marked by dedication and craftsmanship, as he excelled in fabrication and welding, with 26 commendable years at Walkers, where he was not only a respected employee but also a friend to many. David married the love of his life Debra Kay (Slater) Jackson on October 20, 1984, at St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church in Camp Douglas Wisconsin.
He was a devoted husband to his wife, Debra Jackson, and a loving father to his children, Nichole Jackson of Tomah, Josh Jackson of New Lisbon, and Ben (Danielle) Jackson of Mauston, and his sister, Dolly (Tom Meoska) Jackson of Wonewoc. David’s legacy continues through his grandchildren, Mikayla, Austin, Cole, Skyla, Kayden, Cameren, Kerenden, Ava, Alayna, and his great-grandchild, Delilah. David is preceded in death by his parents, his siblings, Raymon, Judy, Mike, Doug Jr. and Donnie.
David’s interests included hunting, fishing, camping, and boating. He found joy and tranquility in nature, often sharing this passion with his family and friends. His love for the outdoors was matched only by his enthusiasm for scooters, which provided him with a sense of freedom and adventure. David’s presence was a gift to all who knew him. His kind spirit, thoughtful gestures, and loving demeanor touched the lives of many.
As we bid farewell to David, we reflect on a life well-lived, a life filled with purpose and warmth. He was a beacon of light in the lives of those he touched, and his spirit will continue to guide us. David’s journey on this earth may have come to an end, but his story will be told for generations to come, through the lives of his family and the countless memories they hold dear.
A Celebration of Life is being planned for a later date. The Hare Funeral Home in New Lisbon is assisting the family with arrangements. Online guestbook available at www.harefuneralhome.com

For generations, Mile Bluff has been providing healthcare services to residents throughout Juneau County and the surrounding areas. The medical center can continue to meet these needs thanks to the amazing team of dedicated professionals that remains committed to providing progressive, high-quality care at a local level.
While Mile Bluff is a smaller, independent health system in a world of large corporate organizations, the work and dedication of the care team is a testament to the power of rural healthcare. It is only fitting that during the graduation season, Mile Bluff Medical Center, Mile Bluff Pharmacies, and Mile Bluff Medical Center Foundation supported the next generation of care providers.
Mile Bluff Medical Center annually awards $2,500 in scholarships between five local students pursuing further education in a healthcare-related field. This year, the winners included: Morgan Belille (Mauston), Brooklyn Gruen (Royall), Chloe Rubel-Healy (Necedah), Brett Flietner (New Lisbon), and Jacey Walker (Wisconsin Dells).
Mile Bluff Pharmacies annually awards a $500 scholarship to support a Mauston High School senior pursuing further education in a pharmacy-related field. This year, the scholarship was awarded to Alexxis Vang.
Due to the generosity of donors, Mile Bluff Medical Center Foundation was able to offer scholarships to high school seniors for the first time. The foundation awarded $4,000 in scholarships between four students pursuing further education in nursing. The winners included: Kathyrn Forster (Mauston), Colten Welter (New Lisbon), Marah Gruen (Royall), and Jaqueline Barrita-Santos (Wisconsin Dells).
The medical center, pharmacies and foundation would like to congratulate all the area graduates and wish them a healthy and successful future!
