Thank You

Thank you to everyone for all your love and support the past few weeks. All the flowers,
cards, phone calls and emails that myself and my family have been receiving has been so comforting. Thank you to everyone who came to Jackson's viewing and funeral. The funeral went really well. Myself, my sister, my two brothers, my brother-in-law, and my dad all spoke. It was so nice to remember all the good times we have had with Jackson. He was such a sweet, kind, and loving person. We are going to miss him! Here is his obituary.


Jackson Dean Hammond

Jackson Dean Hammond 1976 ~ 2009 Our beloved son Jackson Dean Hammond passed away Sunday, May 10, 2009 of a broken heart and soul. He is finally free from his earthly demons and depression. We are deeply sorrowed by his passing, but are joyful to know he is with his Heavenly Father where he is able to breathe and smile again. We will miss his sweet, kind and sensitive heart along with his beautiful smile.Jax was born February 28, 1976 in Ogden, Utah to Charles A. and Barbara Dean Hammond. Jackson grew up in Kaysville, Utah with two brothers and two sisters and many friends. He graduated from Davis High and worked for Delta Airlines for 13 years. He married Angelique Lowery on September 20, 2002. Although they later divorced, they continued their love and appreciation for each other. Jackson was a member of the LDS church. Growing up, Action Jackson loved being involved in baseball, soccer and gymnastics and had a great natural athletic ability. He thoroughly enjoyed being outside golfing, camping and fishing with family and friends. The greatest joy of his life is his treasured son, Jayden of Las Vegas. He loved Jayden more than anyone will ever know. Jayden needs to know that his Dad will always be watching over him. He is loved and survived by his son Jayden Alan Hammond, Las Vegas; brothers and sisters and spouses Sunee (Jon) Redd, Las Vegas; Jason (Jamie) Hammond, Enterprise, Alabama; Micah (Ryan) Topham, Enterprise, Alabama; and Charlie J.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Harold and Arlene Dean and Frank Hammond and his nephew Kyle Harley Topham. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Friday, May 15, 2009 at the LDS Chapel, 1282 W. 1875 N., Farmington, UT (Orchard building).

This was at the viewing. Sorry if this bothers anyone that I am posting this picture. You'll just
have to get over it!

















This picture is comical. These are the three girls that were a part of Jackson's life at one point or another. Vicki (left) was dating Jackson recently. Melanie (middle) is the mother of Jackson's son Jayden. Angie (right) was Jackson's ex-wife. None of the three girls were to happy that this picture was taken. My sister-in-law and I saw them all talking to each other and knew we had to get a picture of it. I'm sure Jackson was not too happy about it being taken either!

















This is some of Jackson's nieces and nephews at the lunch after the funeral.

















This is Jayden at the cemetery.
