Original post: A Facebook memorial page has been set up to honor Jackson Roos, the 12-year-old boy who died in a tragic zip lining accident outside his Redmond home on Wednesday.
On the page, which had more than 800 fans as of Thursday morning, Jackson is remembered as a "happy, active, loving boy" with a "tender-hearted attitude."
Jackson was the son of Julie and Bryan Roos, an orthodontist who owns Roos Orthodontics in downtown Redmond. He was in the seventh grade at Evergreen Middle School.
"Our family's thoughts, hearts, prayers, and many tears are with the entire Roos family on this tragic occasion," one contributor wrote. "Know that your son was loved, and that he touched many lives in his brief time in this world."
