Jackson Wortman, 15

Jackson Wortman, 15, was born on Grandpa’s birthday in 2009 to Michael and Misty Wortman in Kalispell. He was born non-verbal autistic with physical and cognitive struggles that developed over the course of his short life.

His smiles, laughs, giggles, snuggles, and kisses were his way of expressing love. Jackson had so much love for everyone he ever met. He loved his stuffed Winnie the Pooh more than anything in this world. He’d spend his day looking at any picture book he could find and watching his favorite shows, "Word World," "Little Einsteins," and "Finding Nemo."

He personified everything an angel could be. He was truly sent by the Lord to brighten the lives he touched. He returned home to Heaven escorted by Jesus and now lives complete and perfect with the loved ones that went on before him.

This was Jacksons favorite song his momma would sing to him, Psalm 118:24 "This is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in him."

He leaves behind a family who will love him always and await the day we join him in Heaven with our Christ Jesus.
