As a lifestyle expert with extensive experience in celebrity dynamics and family matters, I must say that the news of Tito Jackson’s sudden demise has left me deeply saddened. I had the privilege of growing up in an era where the Jackson 5 ruled the music scene, and their influence was undeniably profound.


As a devoted admirer, I find myself compelled to echo the heartfelt tributes my siblings, Prince and Paris, have shared upon the untimely passing of our beloved Uncle Tito, who left us at the venerable age of 70 on the 15th of September.

On Sunday, it was confirmed by a family representative to DailyMail.com that the original member of the Jackson 5 and Michael’s elder brother experienced a heart attack during his journey from New Mexico to Oklahoma while driving.

On Monday, Paris (age 26) posted an old picture on her Instagram Story, featuring her deceased father, who passed away in June 2009, along with Uncle Tito. She captioned the photo, ‘Eternal Rest, Uncle Tito,’ accompanied by a red heart emoji.

In another instance, at age 27, Prince posted a family photograph on Instagram that showcased various relatives huddled around Katherine, their matriarch. He simply wrote as the caption: “Forever loving you, Poppa T.

Titus Jr., Tito’s son, swiftly responded to the post, saying: “He often praised you, Prince, and held you in high regard as a man. He was incredibly proud of the person you have grown into and your strong family values. Thank you for being an outstanding uncle to him.

It was verified on Monday by Steve Manning, a close acquaintance and past manager of theirs, that Tito Jackson experienced a heart attack during his travels.

The music star told his best friend he ‘couldn’t breathe’ and ‘wasn’t feeling good’ moments before he was rushed to a New Mexico hospital where he later died.  

According to Terry Harvey Maltbia, who is both Jackson’s business partner and closest friend, they shared with DailyMail.com that they were in Gallup, took a break for some meals, and were then planning to resume their journey towards Tito’s ranch located in Oklahoma.

Terry mentioned on Monday that we had recently finished enjoying a meal of turkey and chicken, filled with laughter and conversation. As it began to rain, we were in the process of closing the convertible’s roof. It was at this point that Tito reappeared through the passenger side window, expressing discomfort as he claimed his chest was hurting. He then asked Terry if Ronnie could assist him in completing the task of securing the car’s top.

‘He said, “I ain’t feeling good in my chest.” He wiped his face off, took off his shirt and it was like someone had threw a bucket of water on him.’

Terry called over nearby officers, and subsequently, Jackson was urgently taken to a nearby medical facility. Unfortunately, Jackson did not survive.

In the interim, I’m temporarily under the supervision of the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator. They’ll be handling my affairs while they conduct their necessary procedures.

The Medical Examiner is still awaiting transportation of the remains before he can perform an autopsy in Albuquerque; this information was shared by Chris Ramirez, a spokesperson from the medical examiner’s office.

A bystander alerted the police in Gallup, New Mexico around 6:17 pm on Sunday, at the American Heritage Plaza shopping center, as they needed assistance due to someone in need of medical care.

The authorities confirmed that the individual carried the name Tito. An ambulance took him to a nearby medical facility in Gallup. Regrettably, he was later declared deceased.

Earlier this year, a man with three children relocated from California to the rural area of Claremore, Oklahoma, as reported by Tulsa World.

He told the publication that he ‘found the peace he was looking for’ in the small city of about 20,000 residents, which is located in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains.

Tito expressed his long-standing desire to leave the West Coast and live among different people and a fresh culture, he shared.

The musician is survived by his three children Taj, Taryll, and TJ, and his nine grandchildren.
