leaves behind, from his wife and children to the Buccaneers nation that adored
him,” he said in his statement uploaded on social media.

community above everything else,” the sheriff said. He noted that Jackson, who

seasons. He made his last appearance in 2016.

football ground, Jackson was also known for his charitable endeavors.

non-profit organization to support military families. Jackson was the son of
military parents; hence, his personal experience inspired him for this
initiative. In fact, he also writes a series of children’s books titled “Danny
Dogtags,” guiding the kids of military families who had to move a lot with
their parents.

“We are all mourning the loss of our beloved Vincent
Jackson. His wife and family ask that everyone respect their privacy at this
