Honor Rashad Jackson: Funeral, Burial, & Family Aid

On June 21, 2025, 9-year-old Rashad Jackson was fishing with his paternal grandmother and cousin. Somehow, Rashad slipped and fell 10 feet and landed in the body of water beneath the platform he was standing on. Rashad’s 26-year-old cousin, Stephon Gardner, jumped in with the intention of rescuing Rashad. This incident took place between 4:30-4:45 pm on Saturday evening. Both Rashad & Stephon’s remains were recovered Sunday morning.

Right now, we're trying to raise money to give Rashad the proper goodbye he deserves. Anything you can give—no matter how small—will help cover funeral and burial costs, and financial support for the immediate families, including Rashad’s siblings. If you can't donate, please share this and keep the family in your thoughts.

Rashad meant the world to many. Thank you for the love and support during this tough time.
