Jamie Lackey Obituary

Jamie D'Lynn Lackey 22 years old, tragically left this world for a better place on May 18, 2011. She is survived by her mother, Terri and dad, Billy; brother, Scott; grandparents, Cecil and Barbara Miller, Bill and Sue Lackey and Jerry Bates; aunts and uncles, Cara Miller, Cindy Winkler, Susie Lackey, Susan Shepardson, Brenda Rininger, Brian Miller, Stephen Lackey and numerous cousins. Jamie was born on June 6, 1988 in Tucson, Arizona and from that moment on never met a stranger. Jamie graduated Mountain View High School in 2006 and excelled in basketball and tennis and no matter what she did; she was a force to be reckoned with. In December 2010, she graduated with her Bachelors of Science degree majoring in Advertising and a minor in Public Relations from Northern Arizona University. While at NAU Jamie was an active participant in the Advertising Club. In between her studies and work, Jamie developed the passion and love for snowboarding, where she could be found shredding the mountain. There wasn't one thing that Jamie didn't put her heart and soul into including hanging out with family and friends, listening to music, playing her guitar and hiking. Her positive attitude and energy were boundless and contagious; she was a friend to everybody. Jamie took on life with the utmost exuberance, and had a kind and giving heart; wanting to come to the rescue of others. For 22 years we were all blessed to have been a part of her life. She was then and will forever be a part of our lives. For those who were lucky enough to have met Jamie, you knew she was a special person. Visitation will be held Thursday, May 26, 2011, 9:00 a.m. at Casas Church, with Services proceeding at 10:00 a.m. Rev. Sam Hall will officiate. A reception will follow the service. Donations can be made to Casa Maria (an organization to assist the homeless and the needy) and sent to the following address: 1330 West Liddell Place, Tucson, Arizona 85704. Arrangements entrusted to ADAIR FUNERAL HOMES, Avalon Chapel (742-7901).

Jamie was amazing and beautiful.

Her laugh made us laugh.

Her mannerisms were reminiscent of her brothers, yet her spirit was uniquely different and brilliant.

I'm so thankful to have known Jamie and grow up knowing such a wonderful family. I love you all very much.

Jamie is with us always.

dear lackey family-
i went to school with jamie since middle school and while i was not one fortunate to know her as well as many did i know from those many the amazing person she was, the light she carried inside and shared with others, and the joy she had in life was obvious if you got a glance of her. As i said while i was not close with her the news was somehow a huge shock to me and i felt a heavyness immediatly, i know what the sudden loss of a family member feels like as i have lost my father and my brother suddenly and with that my deepest sympathies go out to you and her close friends bc the world lost an amazing person and the void of that is like no other she will be remember as one of the greats and continue to live threw your family and her friends as she had many that truly cared deeply for her. I wish you all peace and again i am truly sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences and prayers go out to the Lackey family at this time.

May 25, 2011

Dear Lackey family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. I wasn't lucky enough to know Jaime, but feel like I did through the many times Billy spoke of her with a light in his eye every time he did. It was evident that JD was his heart and pride, as is Scott. Her spirit is larger than life and will never be contained nor forgotten. JD will continue to inspire others to "live outloud" and live life with passion just as she did. It is how she lived that sets the example for all "Never having met a stranger. A force to be reckoned with. Her positive attitude and energy. Her kind and loving heart"
It is her "dash" that matters most! That is the dash between the dates lived. What a legacy to have at such a young age. More than many ever acquire in the oldest of age.
I pray that the HOPE that you will see her again sustains you and brings you peace. She is now where there is no sickness, no pain, no suffering, but only the everlasting peace of being with God. She's forever your angel. Rest in peace beautiful child.

We were saddened to hear the news of Jaime's passing. Nicole and I talked about the lasting impressions she engrained in our hearts an mlnd. She truly is special. I can still recall how we admired her heart and skills when she was out on the basketball court. Her basketball skills were just a small part of who she was. Having had the pleasure of knowing her, I can say she had a gift of making us all glad to have been a part of her life. I will miss her but am so happy she and her family shared part of her life with me

Terri, Billy, Scott, Am sending my Blessings to all. Knew Jamie since a baby and child riding her bike. That is when I saw her so sharp and friendly, that the nickname, "Toots" came to my mind. Meaning--kitten-like for me. Cute and helpful. One day, I was taking a walk and felt bad. She was riding her bike and I asked her to help me get back to my house. She jumped off her bike and let me hold onto the other handle bar and she guided me back. She was just a small child at the time. Found out she was something special. God seems to gather the best too soon. Will pray for the family and her, also. Love, Ruth Aguirre

Her spirit will live on in everyone who had the fortune of being a part of her life. We will all miss her.
