To the Jackson family, you have my sincere condolences. When someone falls asleep in death (Ecclesiastes 9: 5,10) the memories we have of them become our most precious treasure. May those memories comfort you as well as Gods promise at John 6:40.

Thank you Mark for the many years we shared as friends and all the memories we made. Those first few days that I started working beside you and Carl on roofs were tough on me and there were days I just wanted to say, "I quit" and jump of that roof but you'd say I was tough enough to do it. You had faith in me when I didn't even have faith in myself many times. You taught me a lot about roofing and about life in general and for that and so many other things I thank you. You are now pain free my beautiful friend and I will forever hold you close at heart. I love you Mark Jackson rest easy
