Jackson Lewis Hill, 4 days old, born September 6, 2012, Jackson died peacefully in his Daddy's arms on September 10, 2012.
During Jackson's 4 short days on this earth, he impacted thousands of lives around the world. He brought people to their knees in prayer. We prayed for healing and God answered our prayers; Jackson is now completely healed in Heaven.
Jackson is survived by his parents, Todd and Amber Hill; grandparents, Richard and Judy Williams, Butch and Pam Hill, Christy Hill (Greg Marsh); aunts, Apryl Balmir (Rudolph), Teri Fuller (David), Holly Millar (Jeff); uncles, Mark Hamby (Shelly), Matthew Hamby and Matthew Williams; 3 great-grandparents, 7 cousins and an extended family of so many that loved him.
Funeral services will be held at 3:00 pm on Monday, September 17, 2012 at First Baptist Merritt Island, 140 Magnolia Avenue, Merritt Island, FL.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to a trust fund that is being set up for Jackson or to the Arnold Palmer Medical Center Foundation.

Todd & Amber & Jackson
Your son Jackson has brought me closer to God because I could not find the right words everyday since Todd shared with me Amber and Jacksons accident. I have ask what can I do or say because I love my brother Todd so very much and cannot even fathom his pain and yours Amber with the circumstances and loss of your son Jackson. The Kindom of Heaven belongs to Jackson already and for us to take our turn we need to believe in our Savior so we to can see him and our love ones again someday.
Matthew 19:14
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Mark 9:36–37
Then he put a little child among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, "Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes not only me but also my Father who sent me."
Just know this Todd I love you and I pray for you and Amber and I know Jackson is already with our Father.
Amen & God Bless

Some days God finds the most pure and sweet soul to take, Jackson fullfilled that need. Trust that he will be waiing for you and will keep watch over you. The loss of a child is the most difficult to accept, but time and love will help you both to heal.

We've been storming Heaven since September 6, and you are on so many prayer lists where we have lived throughout the country. Surely choirs of angels came to greet Jackson, and while words of mortals such as us fail, perhaps you can find comfort in the sure and certain knowledge that Jackson is in Heaven. "Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
Love, Uncle Charlie and Aunt Betty
