Jackson, also known as Turbo, Action Jackson and JB, was born on September 27th, 2012 to Patrick Lee Bauder and Cheryl Lynn (Leader) Bauder in Yankton, South Dakota. 

Jackson successfully completed grade 5 at Scotland School in Scotland, SD. His favorite subjects were recess and lunchtime. He also enjoyed his science class with Mrs. Gramkow as his teacher. He joined the middle school band and was working on mastering his trumpet playing skills.

Jackson farmed his whole life on the family farm with his dad and cousin, James. He was very passionate about it. He lived and loved farming on and off the farm. He very much loved when his sisters came home to see him and all the adventures with his mom. 

Jackson had a very kind and loving heart, a contagious smile, and a personality that caught everyone’s attention. He was not afraid to spark up a conversation with strangers, including the occasional airline pilots he came across. There weren’t many things in life that Jackson didn’t like and he was always up for adventures. He loved farming, John Deere tractors, with one tractor in particular, the classic John Deere 4455, his dog Maverick, riding his bike around town, playing Farm Sim, hanging out with friends, fishing, boating, and beaching with family, going to the pool, and airplanes. Jackson also loved to build and create things just like his dad. He played several years of baseball for Lesterville and then Scotland, as well as playing 3 years on the JR Football League in Tyndall, SD, earning a championship title one of those 3 years.

Jackson is survived by his mother, Cheryl; along with his two sisters, Ashley and Brittney. He is also survived by his paternal grandmother, Janet Bauder, and maternal grandparents, Gordon and Carolyn Leader, along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Jackson, with his father Pat by his side, entered God’s kingdom joining his grandfather, Gary Lee Bauder.
