Hi everyone,

It breaks my heart to share that our dear friend and brother, Jackson, has passed away suddenly at just 41 years old. His loss has come as a huge shock to all who knew him, and it leaves behind three beautiful children who adored their Dad.

Jackson was so many things to so many people, a devoted Father, a beloved Son, Brother, Uncle, and a great mate. He had a great sense of humour, was always up for a laugh, a beer, and a good chat. He was a proud member of the Newcastle Rugby League community, having played for Windale Eagles, Central Charlestown, Kurri Kurri Bulldogs, Dudley Magpies Karuah Roos, Woodberry Warrior, Mindaribba Warriors and Karuah Mission Roos.

As we try to come to terms with this loss, the family is also facing the financial stress of giving Jackson the send-off he deserves. I’m reaching out to ask for your support in helping his family cover funeral expenses and anything else they may need during this incredibly tough time.

Whether you can contribute a little or a lot, every bit helps. And if you’re not in a position to donate, simply sharing this message is just as powerful.

On behalf of the family, thank you so much for your love, support, and kindness.

RIP Jacko
