Mr. Jackson was a beloved son of Georgia

FYI

So that we don't trigger a snowflake here on FR (I did) we have to use Mojado instead of wetback.

Sad that the first thing that comes to my mind is whether he ‘took a knee’. That’s what I think of the NFL these days.

That’s how it’s done. Hispanics who commit crimes are White, for purposes of FBI statistics. Sounds legit.

Though Jackson had to sit out the entire 2017 season, he remained his usual positive and upbeat self, and continued to be a consistent presence out in the community. He went caroling with teammates at Riley Hospital for Children; helped outfit underprivileged kids with new hats and shoes for winter; worked alongside local police officers to teach sixth graders about peaceful living habits; and helped staff a drive-thru distribution for Thanksgiving meals to Hoosier families in need, among many other events.

Jackson had a way with kids, too. At the Cold Feet, Warm Shoes and Hats event, he talked about breaking one child, in particular, of his shyness and trying to get him to open up.

“Some kids, they’ve just been through so much at a young age. You’ve just got to be able to open them up,” Jackson said.

“He had an animal, it was a fox. He called it Foxy. He warmed up and he put on his shoes and he loved his brand new shoes and socks.”

And what happened next?

“Foxy gave me a high five,” Jackson said.

So much to accomplish, yet changing lives every step of the way.

That’s who Edwin Jackson was.

Prayers for him and his loved ones. How tragic at such a young age.
