In a poignant farewell, Tito Jackson has been laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Southern California, a resting place also shared with his legendary brother, Michael Jackson, and their father, Joe Jackson. This solemn ceremony took place on November 4, just over seven weeks after Tito’s death at the age of 70.

The iconic singer and guitarist, known for his pivotal role in the beloved groups the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons, passed away on September 15, with the news shared by his sons on Instagram. Tito’s passing marks the second loss among the nine Jackson siblings, following the death of Michael at age 50 in 2009.

The ceremony was attended by a close circle of family, including siblings Marlon and La Toya Jackson, and Michael's children, Paris and Bigi Jackson. Their presence underscored the strength of family bonds during this difficult time.

Tito Jackson was not only a celebrated musician but also the third child in the Jackson family. His mother, Katherine Jackson, who is now 94 years old, remains a cherished matriarch of the family.

Forest Lawn Memorial Park is known for its serene beauty and is also the final resting place for other Hollywood luminaries, such as actress Elizabeth Taylor and animation pioneer Walt Disney. The Jackson family has deep roots in this sacred ground, with Joe Jackson being buried there in 2018.

As Tito Jackson joins his family in eternal peace, fans and loved ones alike remember him for his contributions to music and the indelible mark he left on popular culture. His legacy, like that of his brother Michael, will continue to inspire future generations of artists and fans around the world.
