THE STORY OF HUNTER DON JACKSON MEMORIAL FOUNDATION

Welcome, and thank you for visiting the Hunter Don Jackson Memorial Foundation. Hunter was unexpectedly lost at the age of 21 due to an ATV accident on June 6th, 2020. Hunter had a larger than life personality and lived his life to the fullest. He was an avid hunter, sportsman and enjoyed being outdoors. His love for playing and watching sports led to him pursuing a degree as a Sports Business Major at Stephen F. Austin State University.

 
The lives that were touched or changed by Hunter is overwhelming. The number of stories that began with, “I wouldn’t have made it through without Hunter.” “Hunter helped me.” “Hunter always had my back.” “Hunter was always there for me.”, have been shared over the past months. Hunter was loved by all those who knew him. He will be remembered for his unwavering heart. 

We believe the best way to celebrate Hunter is to honor how he lived his life. We will continue his legacy by helping others the way he did. Thus, The Hunter Don Jackson Memorial Foundation was born.  

​

Along with Stephen F. Austin University, the family has established the Hunter Don Jackson Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship will be awarded annually to a Sports Business Major at SFA. Our mission is to help support students finish the degree that Hunter was unable to complete.  

​

Along with the Wylie ISD Education Foundation, the family established the Hunter Don Jackson Memorial Scholarship.  This scholarship will be awarded annually to a graduating senior football player from Wylie High.  Once a Pirate, Always a Pirate.  AHMO

Again, thank you for visiting the foundation. We hope that everyone strives to live life as Hunter did, with intent, to the fullest and loving unconditionally!
