You made scones and had a drawing of me with my sweater stuck in my braces. You´ve left me with nothing but positive memories being my French teacher at FKHS all those years ago. I´ve long graduated and settled on a completely different side of the world, but I´m sad to hear that you´re gone. I´ll always remember you laughing with me in class. Thank you for letting me experience a very small part of your life journey. Rest well Mr. Scott

I have know Mr. Jackson for many years. He was an amazing teacher and his students loved him. His class was always a very bright part of my day. He always could tell when i was struggling, he would come over and help but he would always be discreet about it as to not embarass me. He was an amazing mentor and made my english class fun and enjoyable. You will be missed. My deepest condolences to the Jackson family.

Scott was an amazing colleague and teacher. I learned so much from him. His passion for teaching and his kind heart brought joy to our class. I enjoyed his humor and stories of his travels. I especially enjoyed the pictures of his Mer-men collection of Christmas ornaments. I am sorry for the loss of this amazing human being!

Mr. Jackson made a significant impact on my life during my time at FKHS. Mentors like him truly shape our experiences and outlooks. He played a pivotal role as a mentor and friend, offering guidance and a positive perspective during challenging moments. His ability to provide satire added a unique touch to our interactions, lightening difficult situations with humor and irony.
His encouragement and positivity not only made my time at FKHS more valuable but also motivated me to continue striving and learning. Mentors like him play such a crucial role in shaping our growth and development. I am so sorry for to hear that the world is a little less bright today.

I´m honestly shocked at this news. He was a great teacher and never failed to make his students smile. He was a great teacher who I felt safe with. He was my 7th and 8th grade teacher and I wouldn´t have had it any other way. I loved his class because he made it where we didn´t just sit through a lecture he made sure we were having fun. I can´t imagine how bad the pain must be for the family. May he rest in peace.
