This page is for our precious little boy Jackson Ben. He was born on September 16, 1997. He had battled Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia with the Philadelphia Chromosome since the age of 26 months. He survived a bone marrow transplant. He came through most every physical trial far above and beyond the medical expectations.
Jackson sang to us all the time that he would fly away in the morning. On May 15, 2001 at 5:07 a.m. Jackson Ben took that flight. There was no sign that Jack would be leaving us. It was a surprise to everyone that morning, but not to the Lord. Jack had done his work and it was time to go home.
We are so blessed to have been part of this journey. Every day was amazing and special.
We love and miss our little buddy more then words could express. We are so thankful for him.
We thank you for taking the time to join us here today. May you be richly blessed.

Hi to my family, friends and the Clear Lake Community.
I have been selected to play on the WFCA All-Star Football team. I am so excited to be able to have this opportunity. Not only will I be able to spend a week at UW-Oshkosh with some of the top football players in the state, we also get to work on a special project that is near to my heart. We will be raising money to donate to the Children's Hospitals.
I became very familiar with the Children's Hospital when my little brother Jackson was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia PH+ at the age of 26 months. He was in treatment for about 18 months in the Oncology at Children's. He also received a bone marrow transplant, and I was the best match and was able to be his bone marrow donor.
I spent a lot of time at the Children's Hospital when Jack was in treatment. I would go visit and spend time with other sick kids that wanted someone to talk to or play with.
My brother Jackson passed on from this life on May 15, 2001. He was 3 1/2 years old. He was a a very cool brother.
Jack used to sing this song to me and my sister about being an All-Star.
I think my brother Jack is an All-Star. I will be raising my funds in memory of him.
I am asking for your support, and I thank you for helping me, the All-Star Football team, the Children's Hospital, and for all of the children like Jackson that will benefit from this.
Your gift will help millions of people stay connected with friends and loved ones during challenging times.
