On Monday, brothers Taj Jackson, Taryll Jackson and TJ Jackson took to social media to announce Tito’s passing. “We are shocked, saddened and heartbroken,” their post begins. “Our father Tito Jackson @titojackson5 was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being.”
They conclude, “Please remember to do what our father always preached, Love One Another.’ We love you Pops and will forever miss you.”
Just earlier this week, the Jackson brothers had visited a memorial in Munich, Germany, dedicated to Michael. On Facebook, they expressed their gratitude “for this special place that honors not only his memory but also our shared legacy. Thank you for keeping his spirit alive.”
A legacy that shaped the landscape of music
Toriano Adaryll “Tito” Jackson was born on October 15, 1953, the son of Joseph “Joe” and Katherine. Partnered with the Motown label, he and his siblings rose to prominence as the Jackson 5 throughout the 1960s and ’70s. Tito was integral to the band’s start. He was just 10 years old when he was found playing his father’s guitar and broke a string.
Joe fixed the string, then demanded that Tito play more for him. What Tito showed him that day impressed Joe so much, who had a background performing in an R&B group, that he bought Tito his own guitar, and brought Jackie, and Jermaine into the mix to start the band. Soon, the band became a family affair.
Rest in peace, Tito Jackson.
