Tributes
I’m so sad to hear of Jackie’s passing! He was a kind young man. Praying for your family’s peace and comfort!

I grew up with Jackie. We had many classes together, played ball together, graduated together, spent a couple of summers in the hay field/ lake with Stephen together, and partied with Stephen together in the 80's. We never had an argument and he was most often the life of the party. I'm not liking this pit in the stomach feeling I'm having. Jackie was one of my better friends.

?????? I am having a difficult time with this. 1st memory he cut my hair in Mrs. Bell’s class. All the other memories are a series of events of being crazy over this guy. Kelly, Kendra and Kenny I am thinking and praying for y’all continually. My ?? is broken
