She posted a moving Instagram post following his tragic passing from a heart attack last month. The 58 year old legend shared a nostalgic black and white snapshot of them as kids, captioning the heartfelt photo: “May you rest in eternal peace. I miss you so much!”
La Toya Jackson also expressed her own birthday wishes for Tito with an Instagram video tribute, writing: “Happy Heavenly Birthday Tito! I will always love you!” Over on social media, Jackie Jackson commemorated Tito’s first birthday after his death, saying: “Your first heavenly birthday is a reminder that though you may have left this world, your memory will forever be etched in our hearts.”
Pouring his heart out, Taryll Tito’s grieving son posted a deeply emotional message: “If I could have one more call I’d tell you how much I love you. How thankful I am and how amazing you are.

I miss you and I love you Pops. Happy Heavenly Birthday!”

The music world is reeling from the loss, with Jonathan ‘Sugarfoot’ Moffett, ex-drummer for the Jackson 5, pouring out his grief on Facebook: “There is great, great sadness in my heart, spirit, and soul tonight. My wife and I just left and walked out of a movie we were watching at a theater just now….as she received a text from a very close friend….that my brother in heart and spirit, Tito Jackson has just passed away.”
“I’m stunned and devastated to receive and hear this disheartening news. I love Tito like my brothers of blood relation. I’m stunned and dismayed. May God and Jesus Christ receive his soul and spirit with open out stretched arms and welcome him into Heaven’s gate…this is my most sincere prayer this night, this day, this month, and now….this year. I’m at a loss of spirits.”

Dear mother, I love you dearly). My thoughts are with my nephews in heart and spirit, 3T and all his grandchildren. I love you all VERY much. You are my second family. I love you, Tito Jackson, my brother…forever, still.”
