My condolences to Jackie's family. Though our last names are the same, there is no family connection as far as I know, but we attended Tri-City High School at the same time. He was in the 11th grade when I was in the 12th and we were friends. May God richly bless and comfort each of his relatives in his loss. James Adkins, Selmer, TN
