David Jackson was a tenacious reporter and terrific storyteller. He was also kind and funny. I was fortunate to cover the White House beat with him during the Bush and Obama years. We worked together on the WHCA board and, later, in the USA Today newsroom. I'm heartbroken at his passing. DJ, as we called him, was tireless in pursuit of a story. He loved baseball and traveling and cherished the many friendship he forged. He will be greatly missed.
