Father, Husband, Son, Brother, Friend, and Soldier...
He served his Country...
He was an amazing father to his boys....






On Sunday February 28th, 2016, Corey Jackson age 27 of Newark Ohio and his friend were hit head on by an alleged drunk driver who was driving on the wrong side of the highway on I-70 near Kansas City, KS.  Both Corey and his friend were active duty military stationed out of Ft. Riley.  His friend's injuries were immediately fatal and Corey was pronounced brain dead yesterday after a week of being in a coma and recent surgery to repair his many major injuries. Corey leaves behind two young boys and another baby on the way, and his wife Macey.  He will be sadly missed by his loving mother Johnnie Lynn, Father Robert Jackson, and sister Caitlyn.  Corey was one of those gentle souls who just made everyone around him smile.  He was always positive, motivated, and one of the hardest working individuals I have ever known.  Corey served in Iraq as a Humvee gunner and continued to serve in the Army National Guard as a reservest up until he was activated to Ft. Riley this year.  He helped manage his uncles window tinting business full-time in Powell, OH and worked extra hours on the weekends tinting cars to build up a savings account for his family. Corey made the world a better place.  His dream was to have a family and make a better life for his boys.  His boys were his life and Corey was thiers. He was well on his way to make his dreams a reality until this tragedy.  Please help continue Corey's dream of making a better life for his boys by donating money towards his children's future. if he was here today, he would do the same for you and your family.  Thats is just the type of man Corey was. We love you Corey! We wont let you down!
