Jackson was born on the 13th of March 2012 at Wythenshawe Hospital, weighing a whopping 9lb 3oz, which makes perfect sense because he absolutely loved food. He was in his element if he had an ice lolly in his hand.

As he grew from being an adorable little baby into a fun-loving, boisterous little boy, he began to show his character. He was kind beyond belief, caring, funny, loving, and so much fun. He started nursery at Oldfield Brow School in Altrincham. He loved it and made so many friends. As he progressed through the school, he would regularly get certificates and Head Teacher Awards for being thoughtful, kind, and helpful to his fellow classmates. He would jump up every morning, excited to go to school to see his friends.

Jackson was obsessed with the sea and everything in it. His absolute favourite were sharks. His teacher once told me, “I had to go home and Google all the sharks Jackson had mentioned to see if they existed,” and they did. He was blown away.

When Jackson passed away, the school had a bench carved into the shape of a shark and placed it in the playground for all his friends to sit on and remember the fun memories they all shared.

Just some of the things Jackson enjoyed doing: he loved football and everything Manchester City, bike rides with his dad and sister, Karis, wrestling (he would play for hours with all his wrestling figures), and going on long walks with his dog, Holly. He also loved playing football in the garden with Holly in goal. We reminisce and laugh about that a great deal, how Holly the Pomeranian was a better goalie than most of his friends! But his absolute favourite thing to do was play on his PlayStation, especially Minecraft and Fortnite.

He loved spending time with his Nana, playing badminton in the back garden or going on walks in the countryside. Nana always had treats (haha!).

He loved going to see his Grandma and Aunt on Sundays. They would always have an adventure planned and lots of fun.

He would look forward to Saturdays to see his Nana and aunties, who would always come round with loads of love, laughter, and treats. (Did I mention how much Jackson loved food? 😀)

He thought his dad was a superhero because he had swum with sharks. His dad gave him a shark tooth, and Jackson treasured it.

He adored his big sister, Karis. Yes, they did their fair share of bickering, as brothers and sisters do, but he idolised her. They were as thick as thieves.

I could go on forever about how special and loved Jackson was. We treasure all the amazing, beautiful, and special memories that Jackson gave us in the eight years he blessed us with.

Jackson, my beautiful, kind, loving boy, I miss you every minute of every day. I am truly lost without you.

Life has never been, and never will be, the same without you. Our hearts are truly broken—a pain that time cannot fix.
We love you forever and always jacko till we meet again sunshine 💙💙💙
