Ike taught me so much while I worked with him at Rite Aid. He also showed the LOVE he had for his family and for the Carolina Tarheels:) daily. One day as me and my husband were attending a family reunion in walks Ike with his wife and Josh. Who would have guess Judy was a Jackson. We were family (distant/marriage) and didn't know it. We got good laughs out of that. Our prayers are differently with you.

I had the privelege of working with Ike at Eckerd's at the Carolina Mall throughout high school. He was a great role model for all those who worked alongside him. He treated customers and co-workers the same way he would treat family. I'm heartbroken for his family as they grieve his loss but rejoice for Ike as he is healthy now and will celebrate this Christmas right alongside the Birthday Boy.
