Help Launch the Jevon Naurice Jackson Legacy Scholarship Fund

Some lives leave an imprint that time cannot erase. Jevon Naurice Jackson was one of those lives.

Jevon was a devoted husband, father of four, minister, musician, mentor, technology leader, and the first Black Assistant Dean of Technology at Grand Canyon University. But beyond his accomplishments and titles, what truly defined Jevon was how he poured into others.

He believed in helping people see what was possible for their lives—and encouraging them to go after it. His life reflected the values of faith, family, education, leadership, technology, innovation, and service.

In August 2023, our family unexpectedly lost Jevon at the age of 40. As I approached my own 40th birthday, I found myself thinking deeply about his life, his impact, and what it means to carry his legacy forward.

I realized I wanted this milestone in my life to represent something bigger than myself.

That is why my family and I are launching the Jevon Naurice Jackson Legacy Scholarship Fund.

There is already a scholarship established in Jevon's memory through his former school that honors his remarkable contributions to software engineering, education, and student success. We are deeply grateful that this part of his legacy continues to be recognized.

As his family, we also felt called to create something that reflects the fullness of the man Jevon was.

Our vision is to support young people pursuing higher education who demonstrate the qualities and values Jevon embodied throughout his life—leadership, character, faith, service, innovation, education, and a commitment to making a positive impact on others.

This Is Only the Beginning

On July 25, 2026, we will officially introduce and celebrate the inaugural launch of the scholarship during my private 40th birthday celebration.

But the vision extends far beyond one evening.

Our goal is to establish a strong foundation for the scholarship, begin creating opportunities for deserving students, and continue growing its reach and impact year after year.

Contributions to this campaign will help establish the foundation for the scholarship, support its inaugural launch efforts, and begin building toward the educational opportunities we hope to provide deserving students in Jevon's name.

Whether you choose to contribute, share this campaign, or simply help us tell Jevon's story, your support means more than you know.

We cannot replace what was lost.

But together, we can build something that carries his name, his values, and his impact forward.

Because legacy doesn't end. It continues through us.

Thank you for helping us turn Jevon's impact into opportunity for someone else.

With gratitude,

Jeremy "J Bear" Jackson & Family
