Jackson Rich Obituary

Jackson Burton Rich Our Beautiful Boy Jackson Burton Rich, our beautiful joyful baby boy, returned to the presence of his Heavenly Father on September 23, 2008.Jackie leaves his family and extended loved ones with so many wonderful memories. His blue eyes were captivating and through them we all saw the light of Christ. His smile and laugh were unforgettable and his countenance pure. Our hearts are heavy, but our spirits confident in the knowledge that he lives on in the glories of the heavenly home he was not long gone from. Jack, born May 20, 2007 brought immeasurable joy to his family and gave only sweet love in his short life, and it was returned in abundance by his parents Coby and Tiffany, older brother Corbin, grandparents James and Joanne Rich, Wayne and Laurie Burton, aunts, uncles and countless extended family members. His loving memory and example of innocent love will forever be in our hearts. You are our little guardian angel. Memorial Services will be held noon Saturday at the LDS Chapel on 5980 South 1300 West. A viewing will be held prior the service beginning at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers a memorial you are welcome to contribute to a memorial fund set up for Jackson at any America First Credit Union. Many thanks go out to all those who helped to save our baby and those whose love and support we feel so deeply.

Dear Rich family,

A mutual friend told me the heartbreaking news about your little angel boy. Words cannot express how sad I was hearing your story. I wept when I went home and shared it with my family. It is my hope that your sweet family finds the comfort you need to get through this very difficult time, especially you Tiffany, nothing compares to a mothers love and the heartache you must be going through. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. May you always feel your beautiful angel boy close to you.

May his spirit be with you. I was touched by your angel.

Colby, Tiffany, and family,
I love you and my thoughts are with you. I know this probably doesn't help a lot, but I had the opportunity to take Jakcson and Corbin to the zoo with Sommer while I was going through my divorce. I was so sad, and that little angel made me smile the whole time I was with him. He helped me heal and I feel so luck to have been able to spend those few hours with him. He is a special little boy. I have no doubt Heavenly Father needs him for a more important work.
Love, Camilla Kuhns
