Hold your head high Jackson family; God has a might gentel gaint sitting on his side. Mr. Jackson has answered his call and resting in peace. Romans 6:8 "Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him". I can still see Mr. Jackson standing at an electrical pole wearing his hardhat,overalls and his gloves looking up toward heaven and coming up with a strategy how he was going to fix the problem. I know he's in heaven now looking down trying to help God guide his children.
Mr. Jackson was always soft spoken and had something encouraging to say to everyone he met.
