Jackson McGEE Obituary

McGEE, Jackson Baer "Jack" Age 19 of Beavercreek, passed away unexpectedly March 4, 2017. Jack was born Nov 24, 1997 in Dayton OH. Jack is survived by his loving parents Laura and Dan Briley of Beaverceek; sister Lyndsey (Alex Chesney) Briley of Riverside; and sister Allison McGee at home. Maternal grandparents Terry and Linda Baer of Medway; paternal grandmother Patty Briley of Beavercreek. Also surviving Jack is his godmother Joanna Smith of Columbus; several aunts, uncles, cousins, and good friends. Jack was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents Larry Briley, Carol McGee, and Dennis McGee. Jack was a 2016 graduate of Beavercreek High School and a current undergraduate at Wright State University, majoring in communications. Jack was a gifted writer and storyteller, writing numerous articles for his high school newspaper. He currently worked at Five Guys in Beavercreek. His passion in life was making people laugh, keeping up with current events, and bringing as much kindness and courtesy to everyone he met. He could walk into a dark room and make it instantly bright- a holder of doors, a gentleman from birth. He will be missed beyond comprehension.

Jack was such a cool person. I still think of him often. Still one of my all time favorites as a student. I miss him. You all are still in my prayers.

Words seem so inadequate but we wanted to send our deepest sympathy to the family. We remember Jack coming to Cleveland with grandpa to see the Cleveland Indians. What a special young man. May God bring you comfort at this difficult time.

During my Sophomore year, I had the top locker while Jack had the bottom locker. We would meet at our lockers at the same time quite a bit. When we would meet up, he would always be very kind to me....and he didn't even know me at the beginning of the year! That's what was so special about him, even if he didn't know you at all, he would be very open and cordial. I have to say he was the nicest senior I had ever met and still is. Best bottom locker buddy a girl could ask for :)

Jack was in Spanish class in high school with me. He was always so out going and fun. He was one of the kids who would actually speak Spanish and did not care if others thought he was lame for it. He and I frequently spoke together in Spanish in class; I am also one of those kids. I remember quite well the day I sang a Spanish song in class. Jack was so supportive and told me "Grace, tu cantas muy bien" (Grace, you sing well). I am now a vocal major at The Ohio State University studying Opera and I will never forget the kindness he showed me and everyone he met. His support will forever be in my heart. I will never be able to thank him for that. I do not even think he knew how much it really meant to me. He was kind of like that, always making peoples day and always offering a bright smile to light any day. He will be missed and remembered.

I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for raising such a wonderful young man who touched the lives of so many whether he knew it or not.

Jack sat beside me in my communication class this semester and was one of the kindest, most genuine students I know. He always was smiling and making people laugh. He will be missed by all of us from his class.

Laura,

I was so saddened to hear about the loss of your son. I think the last time I saw him was when you brought him to the office, in a bassinet, many years ago. In viewing the photo, I was amazed at how much he looks like you.

Try to find strength by focusing on the good times you had with him and I will pray for your added strength, as well.

Please let me know if I can do anything for you or your family.

Words cannot express how my heart breaks for the family at this time. I enjoyed some summer evening visits with Jacks when he would occasionally come and hang out with my granddaughter & friends at my home.. I remember him as a quiet, kind and sweet young man who always had a smile. My prayers are with your family and his many friends.

My condolences to all of you on your loss. I was lucky enough to teach Jack in eighth grade, and I continued to see him over the years. He was a kind and beautiful soul, and the world is a little less bright without him. So very sorry.

To Jack's family and friends: I am beyond saddened to hear of Jack's passing. I taught him for three years and enjoyed his membership on my newspaper staff. He was one I could always count on and was one of the kindest students I have ever had the pleasure of teaching. I am truly heartbroken that he never got to achieve the many great things I believed he would go on to do. Our world is truly darker without him.

I would like to express my sincere condolences to all of Jackson's family. I had Jack in my Championship Training Class last year. He was truly one of my all time favorite kids in class. Always happy and smiling and truly caring of other people. I know he was a big supporter of the military and we often talked about world events. I just can't express how sorry I am for this loss. I helped him get his job last year and he was so appreciative but in reality it was easy because I knew he was a great kid and would do a great job. I know that he was very well liked at work and always worked the cash register because of his awesome personality. I am so sorry and please know Jackson touched many people in life and I will always keep him in my heart and use his memory as an example of kindness and empathy for all people to follow.

Jack,
I only knew you from a Grandmother's eyes. What I did hear was how talented and smart you are, how funny you could be followed by a "that's my boy!". Your death will not impact my life like Grand
Parents, sisters, parents, but. I will, Miss hearing about you. I just know one thing, you are loved. Rest in the peace you deserve.........Aunt Patty
