Obituary courtesy of East Haven Memorial Funeral Home:

William “Will” Andrew Jackson, 37, of Branford passed away January 6, 2022 after a brief illness. Born on Sept 1, 1984, he was the son of Dale Ann Jackson (Conway) and William Andrew Regan III of East Haven.

After graduation from Branford High School, he headed to Texas, where he worked as a prison corrections officer for the Texas Dept of Criminal Justice. Upon returning to CT he explored several career paths, including working as a Comcast installer and a stonemason apprentice. He was a lifelong (diehard!) fan of the New York Giants and the Yankees, and proud of his Irish and Italian heritage.

He is survived by his beloved daughter Keely Malone of Wichita Falls, TX; his siblings Patrick Conway of Wallingford; and Dylon, Kalee, and Tyler Conway, all of Branford. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins, including Dawn Jackson (Michael DeFeo) with whom he lived, and Douglas (Diane) Jackson. He will be especially missed by his lifelong friends Jim Ranfone and Josh Brooks, and the many other friends he made and kept over the years.

He was predeceased by his parents and grandparents, William and Patricia Jackson and William and Judy Regan, and by his stepfather Gregg Conway.

Visiting hours are Sunday Jan 23 from 10am-1pm at East Haven Memorial Funeral Home 425 Main St, East Haven. He will be laid to rest at East Lawn Cemetery on Monday Jan 24. A private family memorial service will take place in the spring.
