KICKBOXING CHAMPION HOWARD JACKSON PASSES AWAY

Kickboxing Champion Howard Jackson passed away March 7, 2006 11:00AM Tuesday morning, at the City of Hope hospital in Duarte, CA. He will be cremated and a memorial service will be held in Los Angeles in approximately two weeks.

Howard Jackson had been battling leukemia the past several years. I had the good fortune of meeting and hanging out with him in a couple of WorldBlackBelt events, and I found him to be a very caring, easygoing gentleman. He will be greatly missed by the martial arts community and many of his friends
