I dont know if anyone knew Todd, but he was one of my closest friends and he was killed last Saturday in a boating accident at Lake Cumberland. William Todd "TJ" Jackson was one heck of a guy. He was loved by many and will always be remembered for his smile, he never met a stranger and never had an enemy. He was the kind of man that would literally take his shirt off and give it to you if you were cold and needed it. Didnt matter when or how, if you needed something, he was always there for you whether you asked for help or not. He was an avid boater, loved Cumberland and kept his boat there for the past few years. He was the guy that would be the designated boater and take everyone home or back to their campsite if they needed help. TJ mistook Beaver Creek for Cemetary Island and hit the bank and flipped. His pasenger was ejected and has a broken arm, but otherwise will be fine, TJ wasnt as lucky. Please say a prayer for TJ and his family and friends, we all need them very badly right now. TJ was a young 44, but God has bigger plans for him. TJ, I love and will always miss you, you stood by me when my mother passed away, for hours just standing there with your hand on my shoulder. I will never forget you for that.... I love you and will miss you, may you rest in peace and we will see each other again.. GOD BLESS YOU

Every one of my fellow fisherman, boaters, please be careful when your on the water and God be with everyone on this board, I know many have things going on that are life threatening, my heart and prayers go out to you.
