 “My brother was the kindest boy I ever knew. He could make you mad in two seconds, but you never could stay mad. He loved life and everyone loved him. He loved Jesus and prayed often. My brother was truly an angel. To know him was to love him. I want him remembered as the smart, kind, energetic, joyful, beautiful soul he was. THERE WAS NO ONE LIKE JACK. He’s truly irreplaceable.” – Jolee Anderson
