Not a day goes by when I do t think about you Clark. Miss you dearly brother

I love you brother.  It was an honor sharing life and the field with you.

I am touched and moved in so many warm ways knowing the positive effects Clark Jackson had on so many lives. There are no words to decribe or justify the feelings i have and how it warmed my heart that i was fortunate enough to view some beautiful memories that friends and family will carry in their mind and hearts forever. Bless you all, and through the hard days that will come ahead he will be shining down and through you all.

I DID NOT KNOW YOUR CHILD 
 BUT FEEL THAT I DO AFTER READING ALL THE ARTICLES ABOUT HIS LIFE.....
I AM A RESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THIS TRAGEDY TOOK PLACE....AND I FEEL DEEP SORROW FOR HIS FAMILY...

We didn't find out about this until Wednesday night or we would have been there!  We would love to see you sometime!  So very sorry!!  Love and prayers!!  Jim and Angel (Bratcher) Kelly

No one told me when the service was. I am so heartbroken and I feel like such a jerk. Clark was my only phone contact in the band, and I had gotten Tyler's number from our mutual friend Matt, and the number was wrong, I texted Tyler twice on sunday to get the details and got no response, but it was the wrong number, which I found out today when I called the number to find out it was not in service.
I am not on facebook, I only use emails, texts and music forums. 
Anyone can always reach me at work here at wutc fm.
I feel so bad to have not been there, I cannot relax.  I feel like I let his father down, and others.  I miss Clark as much as anyone, he had been on the radio with me for interviews many times, and the band will have a tribute show for him August 22nd after the southern brewers festival, so the band is going to come interview with me Friday night Aug 21st, around 830pm to discuss the memorial show in Clark's honor.  You can stream it online also at wutc.org.
My sincere condolences to his family and all his friends.  
Much love to all of the people that knew and loved Clark.
Sincerely,  Cleveland Carlson wutc fm.

When I enrolled at Red Bank High, my top priority was making the varsity baseball team. This was fall 2001. Synonymous with Red Bank sports was Clark Jackson -- a baseball name if I ever heard one. 

Clark was a junior at this point, a big man on campus with loads of charisma, athletic accolades, buddies, and girls chasing him down. Everybody had a story about Clark, and the second you saw his grin, you knew why: He was mischievous, fun, practical and smart. A shortstop through it all.

Clark was a winner. He made me a better hitter and a stronger person. He could be tough, but he had a way of tracking you down and sharing a laugh after he told you how to fix your swing or make a better throw.

I'll never meet another guy like Clark. I'm thankful I got to know him.

I cannot imagine what the family is going through, but Jimmy, please know the Red Bank Baseball guys will never, ever forget Clark Jackson.

Our entire family sends you our thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.  We loved Clark's smile and have many fond memories of the time he spend at our house during his high school years.

So very sorry for your loss Jill and Jimmy, my heart breaks for you both. Clark was a smart , talented and handsome young man...you both will be in my prayers...    Lori Bryan

I umpired high school baseball for 15 years and I saw a lot of ball players. Actually, I saw a lot of young men who played ball. I saw a select few who were truly ball players. One of the "Ball Players" was a young man from Red Bank High School named Clark Jackson.

Clark played the game like every dad dreams his son will play it. He had heart, knowledge, instinct, grit, God given ability and a little bit of flair. He was also, most importantly, respectful of the game and those who were there to officiate it. Those young men are few and far between and I have only encountered a hand-full of them. I have many fond memories of Clark both on and off the field. He and I had several conversations after his high school years that I will remember for a long time.

That is why I was deeply saddened to learn of his passing late last week. 

It is also my prayer that Clark is the starting shortstop and batting clean-up in the baseball game in heaven tomorrow. In my eyes, he is certainly worthy. May he rest in peace.

Jimmy and Ruth, I am so sorry for your loss.  I did not know Clark, but from what I have read, he was an amazing young man.  Ruth, I remember you showing me a picture of him when I visited Abba's House with mother a long time ago.  I know you were so very proud of him.  Praying for God's comfort during this time of loss, and knowing that He is the Great Comforter!

Jimmy and Ruth... Although I did not know Clark, I have known you both ever since I can remember. From all I have read about Clark, I have missed out on knowing a wonderful person. I am saddened by your loss. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I will never forget the way Clark's voice sounded :) I loved to hear him talk. I have cherished memories of Clark, he lit up the room and always brought a smile to your face. Whenever we ran into one another, I always left feeling happier, better and thankful that he was my friend. What a blessing to have known Clark through the years and to have seen all of his accomplishments and all of the lives that he touched and inspired! He was a one of a kind original! I loved Clark dearly. We love you too Jimmy, we are heartbroken with you, our prayers are with you and your family.
With Love,
Ashley, Melanie and Robert Johnson

My husband and I met Clark about 4 years ago when he was working with me at Paps. He was such a great guys!  We have kept in touch with him since then and he will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace Clark, and Rock On Little Bro!

Clark was around our house many times in middle school and high school.As he hung out with Kellie, Katie, Jessica,Aston Arron,Jeremy,Kell  He always would tell the truth when he and others and been into mischief.I could always just ask and he would reply Miss Vickie are you sure you want to know? As the Years past and they became adults anytime I seen him he gave a big hug and always asked about all the family. Had that beautiful smile. Many prayers go out for his mom and dad.We love you Clark and you will be missed!

Jill my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Please accept our sincere condolences for your family's tremendous and sudden loss.  Our hearts are heavy with sadness.  We did not have the privilege of knowing Clark personally, but it is easy to recognize how much you love him from the way you speak of him.  You are in our thoughts as we pray for God to bring you strength, peace, and guidance during this most difficult time.

My memories of Clark are on the baseball field. I will always remember his wonderful smile. The few times I have seen Clark since those ballfield days, he was quick to give me a big hug. Jill, Jimmy and Ruth and all of Clark's family and friends, may God bless each of you and help you during this time of great sorrow.

Mama Ruth and Jimmy J, 
You are in our thoughts and prayers. We are so very sorry.   God gained a special angel.  CJ will always be loved and never forgotten.  His beautiful smile lit up any room he entered and he touched so many lives.  He took a big piece of our heart with him. We love you.

Clark was an angel here on Earth.  An encounter with Clark made your day happier and better.  Losing him leaves a huge hole now in so many lives.  But I feel truly fortunate to have been his friend.  What a better world this would be if we all went forward trying to be to others the blessing he was to all of us.  He has inspired me to make that effort.

I am so sorry for your loss. Clark was a fine young man and was loved by everyone.  He played Baseball with my son Chad Johnson at Walter State.  They remained friends.  Your in my thoughts and prayers.  I pray God will give you comfort in the days ahead.

My thoughts and prayers are with this family. I have been where you are. I am Mitchell Gravitt's sister n law if you ever want to talk. I have never met Clark but, my heart is grieving with you. Love, Kathy Blevins
