Mark Jackson

Loving father and vibrant artist,
Sharing his love for creation with the brightness of his colored pencils,
To the contrast of ink on black paper, 
he wants to leave a legacy of helping others.
Illuminating the lives of everyone he meets, 
He is a welcoming presence, a light of hope,
And a friend like no other.
He’s a shade of blue like a boat rested on a tranquil lake,
He keeps the peace and ceases to argue,
Ready for an adventure and living life to its fullest,
He treasures every moment he’s got.
Eager to love and eager to please,
He dedicates himself to being the best father he can,
As well as a best friend to others.
He is a joyful helper with an open heart, ready to make new connections,
A messenger of good news and a sender of God’s love wherever he goes,
Always there at your side,
Reliable and dependable,
He is a bridge over troubled water.
