Jackie loved his kids and all his family and grandkids. 

Jackie was an amazing man, at 62 years old Jackie and Brenda had 4 of their grandkids come live with them. There was not a thought about it. If they needed anything he got it for them. Taylor Tuck our oldest granddaughter needed a special needs van for her powerchair and he was on it. He went and found one and said let's go get it.
