John Landon Jackson
John Landon Jackson, PharmD, a dedicated and compassionate pharmacist, passed away on April 16, 2025 at the age of 39. Known for his deep commitment to patient care, research, and community service, John’s contributions to the field of pharmacy left a lasting impact on those he served and mentored.
Born and raised in Richmond, VA and Chattanooga, TN, John’s passion for healthcare led him to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience at Rhodes College, graduating in 2009. He then earned his Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy in 2015. Throughout his academic career, John demonstrated an exceptional dedication to advancing medical knowledge, particularly in pharmacotherapy and clinical research.
John’s professional journey was marked by his unwavering commitment to patient-centered care. He worked with Enclara Pharmaceuticals Benefit Management Company and later joined Liviniti Pharmacy Benefits Manager Company where he continued to make meaningful contributions to the pharmaceutical field. His extensive clinical training included experiences at renowned institutions such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Methodist University Hospital, and Elmendorf Air Force Base. His research on renal transplant patients and medication management in mental health care showcased his dedication to improving treatment outcomes.
Beyond his professional achievements, John was deeply involved in community service. He volunteered his time at health screenings, flu clinics, and educational initiatives, always striving to make healthcare more accessible and understandable for those in need. His mentorship of aspiring pharmacists and his involvement in professional organizations such as the American Pharmacists Association and the Tennessee Pharmacists Association demonstrated his passion for advancing the field.
John’s kindness, intellect, and generosity will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. He is survived by his father and mother, Anthony and Mary Jackson, sister Janell and brother and sister-in-law Tony and Lora Jackson and niece, Aria. He is also survived by a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins as well as countless friends, colleagues, and patients whose lives he touched.
A celebration of his life will be held at a later date graveside in Knoxville, Tennessee. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to McCallie Scholarship Fund https://www.givecampus.com/campaigns/14596/donations/new in his honor.

Rev. 21:3,4 Condolences and unending prayers for strength and healing.
Mary Ella Jackson "the other Mrs. Jackson " as we so affectionately referred to one another as we moved through our Masters Program @ UTC. We held on to each other, pushed each other and inspired each other to be the best we could be and we looked up we were walking across the stage to receive our well earned degree. You invited my family to your home for dinner (all 6 of us). I was so grateful and thankful 🙏🏽 ❤️ 🙌🏽 that you would think that much of me. We lost touch when you moved away and took part of me with you, but you've always have and will continue to hold a special place in my heart! That's why it's very difficult to hear that your dear John is no longer here to celebrate all of his wonderful accomplishments and to continue the service to his friends, family, and patients that he did with such joy, love, and kindness. Just know that he is no longer suffering, but free from all that he was dealing with and going through and you and your family can now begin to say thank you God for your permanent healing. The nights will still be long and lonely. The days will still long to hear his voice and see his handsome face, but God will provide all that you need one day at a time. Read Matthew 11:28-30 and find in the Word. I love you, your friend and colleague, Vivian Jackson
My prayers are with the Jackson Family during this difficult time. John was a brilliant young man dedicated to his craft. He is with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in peace and without pain. Take comfort in knowing this. He is safe in the arms of Jesus. ❤️🙏🏿
Mary Ellen my deepest sympathy to you and your entire family. We love you and you are all in our prayers. 🤍🙏 Love Laura Volastro
I had the privilege as John’s former high school counselor of talking with him by phone long distance just a few weeks ago as he had returned home. My call was timed by one of his former high school classmates to coincide with a gathering of other classmates who were at John’s bedside. We were there to surround him with our brotherly love and respect in his time of greatest need. While his voice was weak, every word he uttered reminded me of why John had been so easy to love and respect. He exemplified our McCallie School creed of Honor, Truth, Duty, and as his obituary highlights, he had given himself away to so many in service to them throughout his life. I call upon a passage of scripture to honor my McCallie brother – I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. My life has been enriched by having known Brother John.
John was a deeply valued member of the Liviniti team. His positive spirit and dedication made him a joy to work with, and he will be greatly missed by all of us.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of your son John. Beverly and I will pray for your family in a Novena prayer. We will ask father Mark to offer a Mass in his honor.
I had the privilege to work with John. He had the kindest heart and made such an impact with that kindness.
John Landon Jackson accomplished so much in what we might consider a short time. My prayers are with his family and friends at this difficult time. May memories become treasures.
The life John lived speaks for him.May God comfort the family and friends through the precious memories. Charles and Elizabeth Izard
May the memories of your son’s love be your strength during this dark time. You have my deepest condolences . Lenora Jarvis-Mackey

Mary Ella I was saddened to hear of John’s passing. I am praying God’s love and comfort to you and all the family and friends who loved John. May fond memories of happy days bless you now and in coming days. We love you guys.
I had the great privilege of working with John at Liviniti. Though he had plenty of admirable qualities, his kindness and calm spirit were unwavering. Of the many conversations we had, there wasn't a single time where I didn't feel better after speaking with him, regardless of the stress I may have felt that day. I enjoyed my conversations with him over the past few years will continue to cherish them. Working with him was truly a gift. Many prayers to his family and friends!
My heart is heavy with the news of John’s passing. John was a big part of my childhood and the memories we shared will always mean so much to me. Praying for the Jackson family. May God grant you all strength, comfort, and peace during this difficult time.
I am so sorry and send my condolences and prayers for you and your family. He is in the loving arms of Jesus now, completely healed ❤️.
In times of grief, it is often the cherished moments and loving memories that provide a sense of solace and comfort. John’s presence in our lives was a gift, and his legacy will continue to inspire and uplift those who knew him. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering spirit will be remembered forever. Dr. Willie Mae Hubbard

I am am very saddened by hearing about John passing away I pray is resting and in a much better place.
Mary Ella, there are no words I can say to make you feel better. Our only consolation is his legacy, our memories of him, and our faith in knowing he is with the Lord. I only knew him as a little boy but I see he accomplished much. It takes amazing parents to instill superlative values in amazing children. You did a great job. So know that his time here was not wasted. My heart hurts for you. May God surround you with His perfect peace during this time. Sending hugs and love. 🙏🏾 Ola
