Buck Jackson was a high energy, godly father, husband, and man; who shared his Christian beliefs and accomplished what he set out to do, what ever that was. He repaired septic fields for others that were installed incorrectly, built houses, moved earth, cleared land, grew food, timbered, and yet was always smiling. He is the only person that I ever heard of who built his house without nails, using screws. God must have been guiding him, as when the river rose into the second story, his house did not fall apart. He and his wife were able to safely escape into the waters. After that flood, Buck put large I-beams under his house and drug the whole house to higher ground, where it sits today, straight and tall with a lovely wrap around porch. He always had time for others. He was quiet, kind, gentle, truthful,thoughtful, hardworking, and honest; a person to respect. What a man! And what a legacy for to leave for his children!

He was a one of a kind, tender hearted, loved his family! Some people think he was just a Logger but he was so much more, he could build most anything, he could do any thing his heart desired. He will be missed for a long time. And the knowledge and wisdom he takes with him. He knew and loved the Lord so we know he is with other loved ones having a reunion in the sky. Please let me know if their is any thing I can do. You are all in my thoughts an prayers, sending hugs kisses an love!
