Support for the Jackson Family

On June 27th, beloved father and husband Chris Jackson was hospitalized following a severe stroke. Despite the best efforts of medical professionals, Chris passed away peacefully on June 29th. In his final act of kindness, Chris was able to donate his organs, offering a second chance at life to three people in need.

Chris was a man of many talents and a heart full of love. A former Rugby player from Australia with an infectious sense of humor, Chris brought joy to everyone around him. As the head coach of the Springfield Rugby Football Club, he inspired many with his dedication and passion for the sport. He also worked for the city as the Airfield Maintenance Supervisor at the Springfield-Branson airport. Above all, Chris was a devoted husband to his wife, Suzanne, and a loving father to their three children. His loss leaves a void that cannot be filled, but his memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew him.

The loss of Chris, who was only 42, was a complete shock to his family and unfortunately there was no life insurance policy in place. As a stay-at-home mom, Suzanne now faces overwhelming financial burdens, including medical bills, funeral expenses, and the ongoing monthly obligations that come with supporting a family.

Suzanne is someone with a huge heart, known for her kindness, patience, and caring nature. She is an amazing friend and daughter, always ready to support those around her. Her strength and compassion make her a remarkable mother to her children, especially in this difficult time. She deserves the opportunity to mourn and be there for her kids without the additional stress of financial insecurity.

We are reaching out to our community for help to provide Suzanne and her children with the financial assistance they need during this devastating time. Your generosity will help cover immediate expenses and provide a safety net as they navigate this heartbreaking transition. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference for the Jackson family.

**The Jackson family invites you to join them in a Celebration of Life for Chris at Wire Road Brewing Company on Sunday, July 28th, from 1-3pm. Please feel free to drop by as your schedule allows.
