John was a special person at Stephenson High school although I did not get to know him as much as other did I am still glad I was able to grace his presence as he did mind. John will never be forgotten he will always be apart of the Stephenson Family.

R.I.P John You will always be truly loved

I have known John for about 2 to 3 years and through those years, I've never seen John not smiling or acting crazy. He was so cool, funny, and outgoing. I used to get on him at the beginning of the semester because he used to go to the gym instead of coming to class. And he'll be so calm about it like it was the best thing to do. But I did learn a lot from John. He taught me to love even when some don't love you back (never did i see john retaliate when someone was mean to him)and he also showed me that life is what you make it. john was so positive and he made life so much easier when he was around. he was so talented and will definitely be missed. i love him with all my heart and can't wait to see him in heaven. To the family of John, stay strong and don't give up. This is only a test. Love you all. RIP John Jackson.

Sometimes I wondeer why the ones we love hav to leave us without a final goodbye. Me and John were not the clostest of friends but we grew up together. We`ve been in classes together and he would always be smiling. I can`t believe that I will no longer see him in the halls at school but i know as long as im still living John will always be in my heart. He will be deeply missed. His body now rests but his soul and spirit lives on. His smile is everlasting and his encouragement has touched many. Polo shirts will be nothing without John. John I miss you and I love you! Always and forever you will be in my heart. I`ll see you soon! I just pray that you will watch over erveryone that loves you. R.I.P "JOHN JOHN"

John will greatly be missed and kept in my prayers. He always made my day no matter how it was going and I will really miss him. I met him in the 9th grade in Ms. English algebra I A class first semester and me and him remained friends every since. He was a good friend to me as well as many others and he will dearly be missed by all that knew him. Rest In Peace my friend and someday I know for a fact that I will be able to see and greet you once again. It's going to be hard without having you here but I know that you will be in a place near me to lead me and to guide me. You will be missed.

Rest In Peace

Tammi and Bruce, when we got the news today we were beyond sad to hear about John. You know we will always remember him as that skinny little boy with the bigger than life smile. We can not begin to express my sincere sympathy for you, Bruce and Bonita. Most of all we hope that you are finding the strenght thru God to deal with this situation. Please always know that though we have not been in touch I think of you and your family often. This has been one of the saddest days that we can remember in a long time. I will try to call you tonight to see if we can reach you. Most importantly, we will pray for you and your entire family. I know that you are a family of Christians and that God will be with you thru this troubling time.

John was a greatly respected and loved young man. He always made me smile and laugh and it seemed as if we'd known each other for years. I had never seen him mad. I thank his parents for giving me the opportunity to know him and his smile. My prayers are with you,his other relatives, and friends.
