With our deepest sympathy as you remember your father. My Uncle Koot will forever be missed. May you find solace in the love and support of those around you. From the Bryant/Obi Family.
My deepest condolences. I just learned today of Koots passing. He was my mother, Rosie Lee Thomas, from Sylacauga, half brother. It has been a very long time, since the Nelms/Jackson Family Reunions, but I remember him well, and the visits he made to my mom's home in earlier years. God's blessings to the family. Evelyn Thomas Millender
Condolences to the Jackson family. RIP Dea. Jackson.
