Devastated loved ones plan balloon release to pay tribute to Jackson Mason after body find

A balloon release will take place this weekend in memory of Jackson Mason.

Devastated loved ones have planned the release to pay tribute to Jackson after his body was discovered last month.

The 31-year-old Ayrshire dad went missing from Fenwick on December 19 and was found dead by police on February 28 at West Tannacrieff.

His death is currently being treated as unexplained as a post mortem is to be carried out.

Heartbroken family and friends left tributes across from Morris Equestrian Centre and have now planned a balloon release for Jackson on Saturday.

A fundraiser set up to help Jackson's family with funeral costs also raised £4,600 in just a number of days.

The memorial event will take place at 6pm at the football pitch on Newlands Drive, Onthank.

Organisers say everyone is welcome but are urging anyone attending to follow social distancing guidelines due to current restrictions.

Shari Parris posted on Facebook: "We are having a balloon release for Jackson on Saturday 20th March at 6pm, at the football pitch Newlands Drive Onthank.

"Everyone is welcome, but please social distance with current restrictions still in place.

"I would like to say a massive thanks on behalf of my Mum, Angela, Sister Caitlin, Uncle Allan, Myself and the rest of the family for everyones help, support and thoughts over the last few months.

"Also for the gifts, flowers and donations received has been overwhelming

"We appreciate everything and everyone

"Let's give the one and only pump action, the best balloon release. Thanks."
