Brother-in-law Sammie Norfleet Jr., left, son Nick Jackson and grandson Ceyair Wright watch as Charles Jackson’s coffin is placed inside the hearse after a service at Angelus Funeral Home in Los Angeles on April 15. When Frazier and Chuck landed in Boise on Feb. 29 for the weeklong ski trip, they rented the biggest vehicle available — a Chevy Tahoe. Chuck spent the trip chauffeuring his friends back and forth to the mountains.
His daughter Chanell was visiting North Carolina with her 17-year-old son who was shooting a TV pilot. She asked her father if he would be willing to move out east with her son if the show was picked up by a network. The location was perfect, as it was on the water where Chuck could go fishing.“I hope you don’t have coronavirus,” she remembered telling him.“Chanell, don’t joke like that,” he told her. “Because I have never felt this way in my whole life.
Meanwhile, Nate Jackson, one of his roommates on the ski trip, was in a different hospital in Southern California. Chuck, squeezing the words out, said Nate had tested positive for the coronavirus and had COVID-19, he told his daughter.“Dad, you just got to pray,” she said. “It doesn’t matter if you have it or not. You can get better.”By Saturday, March 21 — his sixth day in the hospital — the test he was given for the coronavirus came back positive.
