Jackson was born into this world one week early on November 8, 2021 and brought with him indescribable joy. His short 4 days were spent wrapped in love and celebration of the family who had waited so long for his arrival. He will be laid to rest on his due date on November 16, 2021.

Scott of Wyngate.  He is also survived by his great grandparents, Jay and Sharon Berkshire, Ralph Monroe and Jean Moore.  Surviving aunts and uncles include Tanya and Mark McKaig, Heather and Kevin Thieke, Brad and Corrine Berkshire, Matt Berkshire, Jason and Ashley Hopp, Jeremy and MyKena Crik and many young cousins who loved him very, very much. 

 Visitation will be held from 12:00 noon until 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 16, 2021, at New Life Church at 1803 East Vaile Ave. Kokomo, Indiana.  Funeral services will follow at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor Nathan Peternel officiating.  Jackson will be laid to rest in Galveston Cemetery. 

'One week was not enough time to birth you, hold you, love you and have to give you back.  You were longed for, you were loved, you were fought for and you will always be remembered, our beautiful son. You brought hope and a promise, you brought family together, and you brought so much excitement and joy to this world. While we lost a million little firsts that we will never get to show you, you got to experience the greatest first of all when you took your last breath here and your first breath in the presence of Christ. As long as our days are on this earth, we will long for the day we see you again. 
We love you SO big forever and always,
Mom and Dad'

"I heard a loud voice coming from heaven. It said, “See! God’s home is with men. He will live with them. They will be His people. God Himself will be with them. He will be their God. God will take away all their tears. There will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All the old things have passed away.” Then the One sitting on the throne said, “See! I am making all things new. Write, for these words are true and faithful.” 
Revelation 21:3-5
