Jacky won the Florida 4H AG achievement Award in 1966. Because of College obligations he turned down the trip, so I replaced him and attended Camp Miniwanca
in Stony Lake, Michigan {American Youth Foundation Camp sponsored by Danforth Foundation Purina}, I met my wife, Priscilla Sarver there. We were married 52 years and raised 7 children in rural Nebraska. THANKS, JACKY.

Jacky and I went to Tate ,were in FFA and 4H together. We were on the award winning 4H Livestock Judging team placing 1st place several years. We showed steers @Tampa and Pensacola. I thank Jacky for his efforts to save LBC as many of us tried to do. Jacky Jimmy. I and many others pushed hard to save or get a new facility.
Thank you Jacky and rest in peace,

Jacky, his brother Jimmy and Greg Cunningham were all active in FFA, 4-H and other youth programs. I came here with the Navy in 1986 and put down roots. The work Jacky, et al, did, helped my two children and an uncountable number of others…by mentoring, good example, kind words and encouragement. The impact he and his extended family had is immeasurable, and evident in the generational success stories of so many that he, the Cunninghams and other like-minded 4-H/FFA moms and dads interacted with. God bless you, Jacky. Rest in peace, friend.

I want to thank each and every one of you for reaching out with these kind words for Dad and my family, I have tried to send individual messages to everyone but can’t keep up with the outpouring of messages I am receiving. Thank you all for the messages, the friendships and the love you have shown to both my dad and my family. I love each and everyone of you for the thoughts and prayers during this time

Mr. Cunningham was one of the good guys. I never left him without a smile on my face. He always had a great outlook on things and sometimes his perspective left me wondering if he was a genius. His generation taught us so much and did it in a way that, at the time, we didn’t know we were learning. He loved his kids, grandkids, in-laws, and friends. Best of all, he loved the Lord and his wife tremendously. He will definitely be missed in the community. Rest in peace Mr. Cunningham. We’ll see ya soon.

He was a great mentor to the youth (3 generations of this family), in this county and will be missed.
