  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
Pastor McKinley Jackson Senior, a man dedicated to his family, church 
and friends. Pastor McKinley was a kind man who committed his life to 
serving others.
  Pastor Jackson was a long-time resident of Fort Worth, Texas. Rev. 
Jackson was the Pastor of Samaria Missionary Baptist Church in Fort 
Worth, Texas for the last 33 years. Prior to that, he was Pastor of 
Bethlehem Baptist Church in Terrell, Texas and also led two other 
churches. He was a former Fort Worth City Councilman for District #5; 
lifetime NAACP member, and served in leadership within many local, 
state and national civic and religious organizations.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues please join me in honor and remembrance of 
Pastor McKinley Jackson, Senior whose kind spirit and dedicated service 
touched many lives. I offer my condolences and deepest sympathy to his 
wife, Eddie Ruth Jackson; sons, Ronnie Jackson, Michael Jackson, Jesse 
Jackson and Reverend William McKinley Jackson; daughters, Sharon 
Jackson and Alicia Jackson; adopted daughter, Angie Johnson; uncles; 
aunts; and a host of cousins, nephews, nieces, grandchildren, great 
grandchildren and the Samaria Church Family. May his soul rest in 
peace.
