Celebrating Jenairo’s Life
Jenairo Willie Dupree Jackson premiered on May 10, 1991 in Los Angeles, CA.
His debut was provided by his parents; mother, Irece Maere Williams-Anthony
and father, Donell Louis Jackson who preceded him in death.
Jenairo attended elementary school in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
The family moved to San Fernando Valley where he attended high school. He
completed high school in the Antelope Valley and received his diploma from
Dessert Sands Charter High School on May 7, 2010. While matriculating
through school, Jenairo received numerous awards and recognition for his
academic achievements and various talents.
His introduction to Christ was received while attending the Compton Avenue
Church of Christ. He was baptized at Mount Zion Baptist Church on June 8,
1997. He learned the principles of being a follower of Jesus Christ and being a
servant. Jenairo’s smile when he entered the room brightened the darkest
corners. To receive his hugs felt like a home full of love. You were always
greeted with an appropriate compliment. A genuine connection was made with
everyone he met. He would give you the shirt off his back and always had an
encouraging word for you to meet your goal.
Jenairo was a quiet servant who touched the lives of many who were struggling
and seeking a better life. He was allowing himself to be an instrument or vessel
to share the message given to him by God. He was proud of being a mentor who
influenced and significantly touched the lives of others who were willing to
listen. When standing in front of the room and speaking, he knew then that he
was given a gift that needed to be shared with those who were receptive. He
strived to be the example for others to follow and change the world.
Jenairo was a man of many talents. He was extremely talented with drawing
which ultimately lead him into being a tattoo artist. Jenairo was an
extraordinary Mister Fix It and loved using his hands. He learned to fix
anything from cars to washing machines. He was very adventurous and loved
the outdoors, parks, beaches and adored playing with his family. His creativity
left you marveling “how does he do that making a tattoo gun out of a toilet paper
tube?” The love for his family was intense and everyone loved being in his
presence.
I, Jenairo, Took Over The World
I, Jenairo took over the world
It was never an easy task
But if you are crazy enough to try,
then others will be crazy enough to follow.
You can’t half step or everything will fall apart.
I, Jenairo took over the world
Let’s love it, hold it
Let’s fly to where there’s hope and the grass is greener.
It’s great to make a start to fix what we have broken
My children’s wishes unspoken.
I, Jenairo, took over the world
I don’t have to be perfect.
All I need is an idea worth sharing and worth following
So now I should gather myself into myself again.
I should take my scattered selves and make them one.
I, Jenairo, took over the world
My vision is to give a piece of myself to everyone I meet
My smile, my hugs, my talent, my love, my space
“ME”
Now I can say,
I, Jenairo, took over the world!!!!!!

As I Sit In Heaven
and I watch
you everyday, I try to let you know
with signs that I never went away. I hear you
when you’re laughing and watching you as you sleep. I even
place my arms around you to calm you as you weep. I see
you wish the days away begging to have me home, so I try to
send you signs so you know you’re not alone. Don’t feel guilty
because you have a life that was denied to me. Heaven is
truly beautiful just you wait and see, so live your life,
laugh again, enjoy yourself. And be free then I
know with every breath you take you’ll be
taking one for me. “My life made
a difference in this
world.”
