This memorial website was created in loving memory of my son, Braeshaun Jackson.
Brae was born on 09.12.1990 and sadly passed away on 11.08.2009 at the age of 19. Braeshaun was on " Fire for the Lord" and God came first in his life, he had the most beautiful spirit and he shined from the inside out. Braeshaun was a walking testimony and he stood in the gap for many, leading them to Christ one person at a time by living his life to the fullest whille being an example to his peers and many others from the young to the old..showing many of us what being a "True Disciple" really meant. There are not enough words that I can say to describe who my son was. Saying that Braeshaun was a loving, kind, giving, fun, forgiving, respectful, outgoing, wonderful young man would only begin to give you an idea of who he really was and what he stood for. Braeshaun is a light.... One that will continue to shine through the many lives that he has touched and will continue to touch for years to come...Losing Braeshaun has been the most horrific event that I have ever experienced in my life.. He was my Good Morning, Afternoon and my Good Night... Braeshaun was the breath of fresh air on my cloudiest of days that let me know there is truly light at the end of the tunnel.. He inspired me to want to do more, be a better person, Mom, friend,etc.. he encouraged me to reach for the unreachable and to teach the unteachable...and though my heart aches everyday and my tears seem like they will never stop, I am Thankful to Our Father above for giving me the Greatest Gift of all a man after God's own heart, my best friend, the better half of me, My Son.... Braeshaun Marcel Jackson may your soul Rest in Peace Baby...
Endless Love,
Mom
Braeshaun is missed greatly by family and friends and will be remembered forever.

TwiNKie (Dom) is such a sweetheart. I kept my promise to you about looking out for him nd he callz me when he needz me and i spit the truth at him like i know you would.

My Soul Brotha - Brae,
Its been rough down on earth.... no questions about it. Man I remeber like it was yesterday when you, me, and A.J., were at the park chillin and we saw mom comin and all of us ran to your house. Bruh, its not easy noticing that your gone man..... I havent even began to grasp the fact that you have left this unpeaceful and unwelcoming place. Damn, its been a long time already and its gotten my mind just scattered and it hurts so bad man. Ride or die you have always been there for me and When I get their, its going to be my turn to return the favor.
Much Love Fam.

To Braeshun's Family & Friends - I am so sorry for the loss of your son. From everything I have read, he seemed like a wonderful young man. I losed someone who was very close to me & very young. The pain was so deep I literally ached when I found out. The Bible was & still is a big comfort to me.
It sounded like Braeshun was a Bible reading, which is something you probably instilled in him mom. That was refreshing to read about someone so young having an interest in spiritual things. You have probably read about the resurrection hope found in the Bible.
You may be familiar with several accounts where people who died were brought back to life right here on earth. Well a similar resurrection will occur but on a much bigger scale. Jesus said in John chapter 5 that "the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."
The Bible promises that God will resurrect countless millions in a paradise right here on earth. It is Jehovah's will for young ones to grow up, to enjoy life, and to learn about him & his purpose for the earth. Isn't it comforting to know that seeing Braeshun alive, healthy & happy, can be a reality?
We are guaranteed that this will come true bacause in the book of Titus it says God, who promises it, "cannot lie."
I look forward to seeing my dead loved ones again. I hold on to this hope because it is guaranteed, and I wanted to share it with you. Hopefully thus brings you some comfort. Please feel free to contact me. My email address is futurehope4u09@yahoo.com - from Amanda
