Obituary

Forrest Cole Jackson (26) was born May 26, 1996 in Dallas, Texas and passed away June 11, 2022 in Katy, Texas.  He is the son of Jeffrey Michael Jackson and Kimberly Denise Pruitt Jackson. He is a graduate of Frisco High School, Collin College and he earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting in 2020 at the University of Houston Downtown. He battled testicular cancer in 2021 and was cancer-free the same year but was severely impacted by chemo side effects. Forrest was a truth seeker, and his interests were far and wide. He was a humble, kind, meek, knowledgeable, and nonjudgmental spiritual soul and always found a way to touch the hearts of those that knew him. To know him was to love him. He brought joy and laughter wherever he went and lit up the room with his one-of-a-kind smile. He is survived by his maternal grandmother Alicia Contreras of El Paso, Texas, his paternal grandparents Mickey and Barbara Jackson of Frisco, Texas, his father Jeff Jackson and mother Kim Jackson, his siblings Savannah Jackson and Jude Jackson, his dog Lucky Jackson and many extended family and friends. He is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather James Pruitt of El Paso, Texas. Memorial services will be held 7/7 at Frisco Heritage Center, Lebanon Chapel,  6321 Page St., Frisco, TX 75034 at 11:00 am. Pastor Mark Vowell of Frisco First United Methodist Church will be officiating. Later that day, reception and tribute to Forrest beginning at 5:00 pm until 10:00 pm at Verona Villa, 6591 Dallas Pkwy, Frisco, TX 75034

    I’m soo sorry cousin. There are no words that can bring you comfort. I know.. Only a mother who’s lost a child knows the pain and confusion of such a loss. I’m here for you if you ever want to talk. I love you.

    I only had one interaction with your Forrest when we had about an hour long discussion ranging over various topics of interest to us both. I was struck by his sweetness and enjoyed our little time apart from the crowd around us to connect in a special way, unique I’m sure to Forrest himself. I grieve with you. God’s comfort to your family.

    Forrest spent many a weekend with us in our home visiting our son Jake. We knew Forrest as a young man with a gentle soul, a kind nature and an intelligent sense of humor. He was truly loved by our family. It is difficult to find the words to express our sorrow and condolences for his entire family. He was a treasured friend to our son and loved like a brother by Jake and he will never be forgotten by any of us. Forrest’s memory will be a blessing and comfort to all who knew him.

    Forrest was our son Jake’s best friend. They met at Frisco High School.

    Forrest often stayed at our home for days. We loved having him. He was so polite and appreciative. I will forever hear and see him saying “Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Williams” for anything and everything we did! The two boys hung out, talking, cooking, watching movies, eating and doing activities nearby.

    Forrest had a great sense of humor. He was the sweetest young man ever and we will miss him.

    This world has lost a kind and gentle soul and we are so sorry for his family’s loss.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
