His life wasn't always easy, but he persevered...found the best in everyone, and i hope i can be like him one day

I hope that, one day, the world will know his story he was born in a poor family, had 2 brothers. When he was 3, his father abandoned them and became a drug addict. he continued to keep a smile on his face, but he thought that if he pushed his feelings down, that they would go away and leave him. he met me in kindergarten, and became my best friend. we were inseparable when we were young we would always play in the yard in the summer, winter, fall and spring. no matter the conditions, he was there. we cried we laughed we played but then he started to seperate from me... he said that he needed some time to himself for a while, but it bacame more than a while. a week turned into a month. a month turned into homeschooling. Home school turned into isolation. Isolation turned into depression. Depression turned into suicide.

He shot himself two days ago, right in front of his younger brother. I just got the news. I will NOT let him be forgotten.

Rest in peace Jackson... you will be missed greatly... i hope that you are happy...
