Support Howard's Cremation and Farewell

Donation protected
Greetings Family & Friends,

I come to you all today on behalf of our loved one, Howard Jackson, who unexpectedly passed away early Saturday morning on (December 7th). Howard was joined by family until his passing minute.

Back in July, Howard went into the hospital for strokes that caused brain damage, and with that, he was put into a medically induced coma for about three weeks. He started to get well again & well enough to come home. Howard was doing okay but then started to go backwards again. He seemed really sick & wasn’t himself. In October, he went into the hospital & was told he had a really bad infection that started in his foot & over time went through his bloodstream. With that spread, it made it to his heart and caused some organ damage.

Howard was moved into the ICU unit on Thursday due to bleeding, & was in a vegetative state. The doctors worked on him and watched him closely. Friday we spent time sitting (bedside) with him, turned on the Lions game, and just told him stories and prayed with him. His sister got the call around 2:55am He was brought back 3 times but unfortunately Howard was real sick & his body gave out & now we are here. This is such an unfortunate time & we want to respect his wishes to be cremated & give him a nice home going. His service will be December 20th; we will need it paid by December 18th. We pray you all find it in your hearts to donate, no matter how much. Any small token will be used towards Howard’s service.

Thank you all for taking the time to read. God bless you all.
