Initially, Jackson had been playing for the San Diego
Chargers for seven seasons. Their contract was ended because of a dispute and
he became a free agent. Later on, he played five seasons with the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers.

Jackson was a three-time Pro Bowl receiver, who signed a contract
with the Bucs worth $55 million in 2012. He recorded 57 touchdowns and had 540
career receptions for 9,080 yards.

Jackson, a team captain, was regarded as one of the most
respectable played in club history for his dedication and calm attitude. But it
was his charitable endeavors and social activism that made him different from
the rest of the football players.

“It pains me to see this happen to such a great person
at such a young age,” said Gerald McCoy, a former Buccaneers defensive
tackle. “A person who was more than a football player, he was a great
husband and father who spent his life trying to help other people. Spreading
love and joy and doing everything in his power to make the next man smile.
Somebody I considered to be more than a teammate, he was truly a friend and one
of my mentors in my young age of the NFL.”

The 38-year-old athlete was the son of a military family.
Both of his parents serviced in the U.S Armed Forces. Inspired by his
experience as a military family kid, he decided to establish a non-profit
organization “Jackson in Action” to support the families and children
of military families. In fact, he also wrote a series of children’s book “Danny
Dogtags in an attempt to guide military families’ children who had to move
several places because of the nature of their parent’s work.

His charitable activities made a profound impact in the
Tampa Bay community, which is home to Macdill Air Force Base.

Jackson stepped into food business after his retirement and
opened a Cask Social Kitchen in 2015. The restaurant is located on Howard
Avenue. He also served as a vice president of the Callaloo Group – an
organization responsible for renovating the historic Manhattan Casino’s Food
Hall in St. Petersburg’s Midtown.

Jackson Vincent, a renowned philanthropist and extraordinary
player, is survived by his wife Lindsey Vandeweghe and four children to the
buccaneers.
