Janet Jackson has finally opened up about the passing of her beloved brother, Tito Jackson, more than a month after he left us on September 15 at the age of 70.
In a touching tribute on social media, Janet, 58, poured her heart out in a commemorative post dedicated to her late brother. Alongside a precious childhood photo of herself with Tito, donning a hat and a printed shirt, she wrote, “May you rest in eternal peace. I miss you so much!”
The news of Tito’s sudden death was shared by the Gallup Police Department on social media. According to their report, an American man, 70-year-old Titus Kevin Jackson, known to the world as Tito Jackson, suffered a heart attack at a shopping center in Gallup, New Mexico, on September 15, 2022.
The authorities were alerted to the situation around 6:15 PM on that fateful day, with Tito being rushed to a nearby medical facility. Despite their best efforts, he was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. The exact circumstances surrounding his passing remain shrouded in mystery as the investigation continues.
Tito was part of the renowned Jackson family, consisting of nine siblings, including Rebbie, Jackie, Jermaine, La Toya, Marlon, Randy, and the legendary Michael Jackson. Another brother, Brandon, sadly passed away shortly after birth. His departure has left a deep void in the hearts of his loved ones, including his sons, who have also shared heartbreaking tributes in his memory.
Beyond his contributions to the iconic Jackson 5, Tito was a devoted husband and father. He shared three sons with his former spouse, Delores Martes—Taj, Taryll, and TJ—who together formed the musical trio known as 3T.
In the midst of their grief, 3T released a statement honoring their father’s memory. They described him as a man of many talents and roles, from musician to teacher and guide. They emphasized his kind-hearted nature and expressed how his legacy of love and compassion will endure for years to come.
