Rudolph Valentino Jackson was born on August 7th, 1953 to Roasevelt Wilson and Nellie Williams, who both preceded him in death.  He was also preceded in death by his beloved son, Marlon Moss.

Rudolph was baptized at an early age and again later in life, reaffirming and committing to his faith.  He carried a protective spirit and embodied the heart of a true provider, always ensuring that those around him were taken care of.  He was actively involved in his community and dedicated most of his time caring for the sick and disabled, especially those who had no one else to care for them.  Rudolph attended Douglass Elementary School and Sawyer Jr. and Withrow High School.  Rudolph continued his education at University of Cincinnati, receiving his Associate Degree.  He dedicated 30 years of service to the Cincinnati Public School district and worked with the Cincinnati Recreation Commission during the summer when school was out.  Rudolph loved all sports!  He played semi-pro baseball for the Cardinals, football, basketball, bowling, tennis, pool, but his favorite football team was the Baltimore Ravens.
