The family would also like to request that in lieu of flowers donations can be made to Doongalik Studios Limited for the establishment of the &#8216;Jackson Logan Burnside III Design Library and Research Centre&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>We thank everyone again for your continuing support and prayers. We have been so very touched by the constant outpouring of accolades about Jackson, knowing that all of these statements are so true \u2013 he was a unique, loving, kind person and a &#8216;true, true Bahamian&#8217; in every sense of the word \u2013 he loved The Bahamas and its people and worked tirelessly to make sure our Bahamian story was told with pride and dignity.<\/p>\n<p>Although it will be so very hard to know he is no longer with us in body, we are strengthened by the fact that his spirit and his vision have made an indelible impact that will propel his dream for this country and its people to the future. That is his legacy and we hope that all of you, together with others all around the world will assist in keeping &#8216;the stick of fire&#8217; burning bright.<\/p>\n<p>With much love and gratitude,<br \/>\n<em>Pam<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The family has issued the following statement regarding a Memorial Service for Jackson Burnside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[26,46,133],"class_list":["post-8620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-headlines","tag-arts","tag-celebrities","tag-community"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8620\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
