Ronnie and I were so sorry to hear of our friend's passing. Jackie and Ronnie go back to high school days together, and our boys and I got to know him when we moved next door to him. I remember how happy Ronnie and Jackie were to find out they were next door neighbors. Jackie was a true light in this world. He had the joy of the Lord and anyone who knew him saw and felt that. We pray the family feels the comfort of our precious Holy Spirit at this time. We will miss Jackie, til we see him again!

My husband, Patrick, worked with Jackie and when they were working together Jackie would call me just to make sure I knew Pat was being a pain. The few times I met him, he seemed to be a sweet man. I know my husband learned alot from him and will miss him.

Thoughts and prayers are with your family at this sad time.

Just as with everyone that knew him, he holds a special place in my heart and I will miss him greatly and think of him often.

Although it has been sometime since I last saw Jackie, he had not changed one bit. He was still the "gentle giant" I had the privilege of calling a friend. To the Sholar Family you are in mine and my daughter, Becca, prayers.

I feel very blessed to have had such a kind and thoughtful cousin like Jackie. As a kid, I spent a lot of time in Leland during the summers with Aunt Imogene, Uncle Durand and the boys and have many wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. Greater than the memories is the assurance I have that Jackie is in the presence of the Lord and a lot of our family who has gone on to Heaven. Our family reunions will never be the same, but I do believe with all my heart that Aunt Imogene and Jackie are having the best reunion ever!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We think of you all often, David & Carolann Forbes

Dad, Betty & family... Im only further saddened by the fact that I won't make it up there in time for the service.
I have early childhood memories of Jackie as well as the rest of the family. I can also remember seeing him as a father when Imogene was born. Those days, like all of you, will always have a place in my heart. So I join with many others to offer my deepest sympathies and condolences in this time of loss. You're all in my prayers. God Bless

Imogene and Family, Jackie was the kindest person in this world. The years that we worked together will be in my memories forever. We always picked on him about his truck and he would laugh and laugh. He truly loved his family and was so proud of his grandson. I will miss Jackie, but people like Jackie touch your heart and that never fades. I hold you close in my heart during this time and I wish you peace knowing his love for you. Priscilla Page

Life will be forever changed for all of us who knew and loved Jackie. He left behind a legacy of gentleness, kindness, love for all people. He also left behind a family who knew how it was to be loved and safe because Jackie was, well, Jackie. In Jeff's words, "Jackie did things THE JACKIE WAY". I will always be thankful for knowing how it felt to be included in Jackie's way of life. Rest in peace cousin. Teresa "Sissy" Mical Maready

Jackie was my first cousin, we did see much of each other when we were little. When his dad was stationed in Virginia we would go over to his dad's house and visit while they were in Norfolk. Jackie was a kind, gentle, and caring person. We had great memories together. You will be greatly missed. Loved you very much
