I'll always remember Chris as ultra-intelligent and engaging guy, solidified by our countless miles logged on the hiking trail together as Boy Scouts. The times I ran into him (which were unfortunately few and brief) in recent years always made me smile, since he was the same great person I remembered. My heart goes out to the Jacksons, and my memories of Chris will stay strong.

I recently met Chris for the first time during a store visit in Philadelphia 3 weeks ago. I remember his face, engaging personality and genuine goodness that glowed from him to those of us meeting him for the first time. Although he is gone, he will be missed more than words can describe, however I will remember the memory of my brief, but impactful meeting with Chris Jackson in Philadelphia. He accomplished a lot for the brief time he was with those that he loved, and those of us whom he met him briefly in life. May God Bless his family at a very trying time.

I had met Chris at a local car meet. It was in Exton,PA at Toys R Us Parking lot one Friday summer evening. He intruded himself right away and we became great friends ever since. That was about 2 and some odd years ago. I will miss Chris will all his close friends. Chris was always super nice, outgoing and ready to lend a helping hand. He helped me with me car as I did with his. He was very much into his 04 Subaru Sti. He gave me a part time job at the exton mall for the holidays. He always had a smile on his face no mater how stressed he was at work.
When I saw Chris and Jacqui at a small gathering at a friends house, I knew right away they where ment to be together. She never left his side that night. I will forever remeber Chris ever time I see a Subaru Sti. Every day I drive mine I will always have a seat open for him. Miss you buddy. I hope you tearing up the heaven sky with your Sti. Don't ever stop driving brotha, don't ever stop.
