My brother, I miss you so much. I could always talk to you and you always understood. I miss our talks, our time together. I wish I could have taken your illness and your pain away. I have loved you before you were born. Once, I heard you cry early in the morning, I thought I would take care of you and let mom and dad sleep in. I changed your diaper and picked you up and was going into the living room, from the bedroom. The bedroom was a step up from the living room, and someone had left a wash tub in front of the step, which I did not see, and I stepped in it and fell with you in my arms.Mom and Dad woke up and they were both yelling at me. I protected you as I fell, I held you up so you would not get hurt. Once they realized you weren’t hurt, they were ok and not so mad at me. At least they weren’t yelling at me anymore. I loved you then and I love you now. I will forever miss you.

Today is August 26th..I've learnt A lesson in these past three months since you have been gone.. You probably know all about it in Heaven so I won't go into detail..but I'm so very disappointed in people especially the ones who we thought were friends.. You got cheated out of a funeral because of this stupid Covid. Now there is a hurricane coming that might steal the memorial I had planned for you.. Looks like nothing went in your favor in life and nothing in death! I'm sorry Bubba..Ill fight for you in death just as I did in life..!it hasn't gotten easier..I pray nightly that maybe you will come in a dream to let me know you are ok..you haven't yet..but I'm still waiting ! I miss you so very much..sometimes I think I hear noises coming from your chair and I have to remind myself that you are not here..I love you !!!!!

No words can describe how much I miss you! I love you ! Life is just not the same ..sometimes I catch myself thinking I need to tell you something and hits me like a freight train that I can't ..Then I think I'll tell Kevin but I can't do that either..so very hard to loose you both... I'm older than you and Kevin..I should have went first...

Long before we met I heard stories of you, the man, the myth, the legend James Jackson. You were my husband's best friend, his brother, his hunting partner, the man that helped raise his children, his children's godfather, the man that raised him, the man that made him the man he was. You were his hero. According to Kevin there was nothing you couldn't do. You wouldn't believe the expectations I had. You always had an answer for everything usually with some sarcasm.
My fondest memory of you, more than anything I loved sitting around a fire listening to yall tell stories, laughing and making new memories

Laying here tonight wanting to talk to you about the confederate flag and the statues that are being taken down. You never failed to respond to a question about anything. I miss our talks about just stuff. The world is a lot less beautiful and funny with you gone. We all are better people for knowing you. I still smile every time I think about making jerky or running across something silly to pop in the mail to you. And I laugh out loud at how absolutely naughty you were about sharing jerky lol !!!!! I’m grateful for the smiles and the memories

It’s been one week ago today that you were welcomed into the almighty arms of your Savior Jesus Christ. The angels were rejoicing I am sure along with other family and friends that arrived before you.
You were 8 years old when I was introduced and accepted into the Jackson Family by your sister Carol. I remember the first Christmas I celebrated with you and how happy and loving you were then and all of your life. I watched you grow into a wonderful young man.
Throughout the years you shared your love and life with all of us who crossed your path. Always with open arms and an open heart to listen, to love others and to share your humor with those around you. Your love of all your nieces and nephews was amazing. You gifted each of us with a little part of you in ways I’m sure you would be amazed.
You were a very special part of my life and a brother to me. I will always remember you and I pray for comfort to your brothers and sisters on their loss. On the wings of God’s eagles as you soar to Heaven’s gates and on this glorious Sunday may you enjoy your time with your Heavenly Father and may you rest in peace. I’ll love you always.

James was a smart and loving family man. His heart was huge. He loved his country and was a proud Texan. He had so much knowledge and he loved to share it. I’ve known him since I was about 12 years old. My brother in law enjoyed meeting James when he visited America for the first time. They talked for hours. I love you James and I’ll miss you. Say hello to my daddy. ♥️

“I’d like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles
when life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times
and bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve
to dry before the sun;
Of happy memories that I leave
when life is done.”

This is very hard for me to do so I really had to think about it for a while. The Jackson family became my Facebook friends through my daughter Casey. She was James’s nurse years ago and she grew so fond of him. Through this friendship I knew one thing for sure and that was that James loved his family and GOD and Texas with a passion. He had outstanding integrity and morals. I know with my heart that he received full attention from Jesus and the family that was waiting to greet him. I don’t weep for James, he is full of perfect health and happiness now! I do weep for the family though. I know he will be missed and it was so soon after Kevin went home. I am so sorry for your loss. Isn’t it strange how you feel like you know someone so well even though you never met in person? Amazing! Psalms 73:26

Oh Uncle James! You took a big part of my heart when you left but boy did you leave a ton of memories! I remember every weekend it would be me, you and Kevie playing games, mainly monopoly and eating pizza. You would pick me up on Sundays and take me to church. Im so thankful that I can say you were the one that got Maeleigh and I both our first Bibles! You and Uncle Kevin got my my first Diamond ring for Christmas because yall said a girls first diamond should come from the special men in her life... and that was yall! My senior year you and Uncle Kevin took me on a guided fishing trip and we caught 75 Crappie! A few moths later you took Christian and I on a Hog Hunt in Freer. Hahaha remember the time you put my on the "deer dolly" and pushed me around to try it out lol. When I was taking classes at San Jac I never had to walk across campus to the next class or to the parking lot, you were always waiting for me on the golf cart to drive me around! When you got sick I remember being there as much as I could. We were road dogs! Every other weekend and holidays we hit the road straight to the lake! I seriously have a lifetime of memories and I could go on all day.. BUT what I'm thankful for the most is your relationship with Maeleigh. She may not remember as she gets older but I will. Ill remember how excited she would get to facetime her uncle james and of course going to the lake.
I love you and miss you beyond words and ill always and forever be your Swamp Monster!

I have so many memories. The time we talked you into doing an Elvis concert for us. You had every Elvis album I could imagine. There was one Summer Kim and I stayed at Mawmaw's house and you and Kevin took us to the San Jacinto monument and Battleship Texas. You taught us the history and significance of the war with Mexico. I think I impressed my seventh grade Texas History teacher with how much I already knew. You were always into history and always teaching all of us. I love you so much and will miss you forever. I am thankful for the years you were here. I can only imagine what it was like when you got to heaven. Give everyone a big hug from me and tell them I love and miss them. Rest in peace, see you on the other side. I love you!

My sweet & funny friend since July 2010. We shared the love of gardening, football, genealogy and he always checked on me if I was quiet on Facebook. I will miss you very much but I know your homecoming was full of love and the welcoming arms of your parents and your brother Kevin. Rest in sweet peace James. You will be missed.

On this day in history I would wake up to the smell of whole pork butt plugged with garlic and other seasonings wafting through the air! You see our mother was a traditionalist! She always cooked a whole pork butt and a whole rib eye roast for New Years day! I would lay in bed until I could identify that delightful aroma coming from the kitchen. I would image that the house be filled with family and friends, I'd get so excited I sprung out of bed to go greet our visitors cause surely dinner must be ready and soon be served. So I ran out of the room and out to the den to greet everyone much to my surprise there was........
No one, no one at all! I went to the oven an yes the roasters were full of roasts but how, but why, there must be some mistake no one is here, no one is up but why? So I run threw the house to find it silent, oh I know everyone is one is outside so through the door I go and what? This ain't right could I have slept through new years day? Impossible so I run into the house to check the time, ohhh no that can't be, no way its only 4am in the morning why but why this torment of pork roast overload can't be this human suffering at its finest, I am so confused an agonizing over my tortured senses, I give, no more sensory overload of pork roast plugged with garlic pleased relieve me, then standing in the middle of the den in the dark I hear sound, a door opening, who is this walking in the dark towards me is the devil coming to torture me! What else can he possible do to me? Wait no its mom thank god its mom! Mom begins to speak, I can only image what she is going to say, my ears hear morning son you wanna taste the pork roast? I stood there in joy imagining the savory flavor coming from the morsel of pork, then what? ouch mom hits me as if she's trying to get my attention! What the hell you doing in middle of the damn floor? Get your ass up and go to bed! Boy I worry about you sometimes! What? go to bed? I haven't tasted the roast yet, son are you nuts I just put it on an hour ago! Get your ass in bed!
Moms pork roasts where legendary!
Happy New Years to everyone
Have you ever ate moms roast?

How He got the name " Bill "
June 12, 2020
When James was just a child..he had imaginary friends to play with..and I suppose in his mind one named him " Bill " he would only answer to Bill in fact he would tell you " names Bill "..so that's how the name Bill got started that lasted until he started college ..then the name James Stevin Jackson was reborn.. Most people still refer to him as Bill and his family will forever call him Bill..except when I would get upset with him ..then it was James..

In 1814 we took a little trip. Along with colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississippi. We took a little bacon and we took a little beans.
this song was bills favorite song when he was a kid. He had a little March he did when he heard it. One of my fondest memories of him
