JACKSON EDWARD HUSE

Jackson Edward Huse died Tuesday, March 25th following a brave battle with a brain tumor. Jackson spent his final days and hours surrounded by his family and friends whom Jackson had touched in many ways throughout his short but memorable life. Jackson was born on March 31, 2001 in Tyler, Texas, and lived in Arp his entire life. Jackson's life seemed much too brief, but those whom he touched understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. His gentle smile melted the hearts of those around him. Although Jackson's illness changed his life in many ways, he possessed strength, perseverance and courage to show us that each day is a blessing and an opportunity to create lasting memories.

With Jackson's death we remind others that his life is one to be celebrated. All who knew Jackson and prayed for him have been blessed. His family, especially his parents and family are so proud of Jackson for touching so many lives with his will to live.
