Jackson's Wish
Jackson Conway was a 14-year-old whose unwavering faith in Christ inspired everyone who knew him. After a courageous four-year battle with Ewing Sarcoma, Jackson went home to be with Jesus on March 8, 2021 at the age of 17. Before he passed, Jackson shared a powerful wish—that a 120-foot cross be built along Interstate 65 so that all who pass by would be reminded there is hope in Christ, no matter the circumstance.
Nearly five years later, that wish is becoming a reality. Join us as we celebrate Jackson’s life, his testimony, and the first-ever lighting of the cross.
Lighting of the Cross & Dedication
Join us for a powerful and unforgettable evening as we celebrate the life, faith, and legacy of Jackson Conway with the first-ever lighting of the 120-foot cross along Interstate 65. This special night will feature uplifting worship and gospel music from Jason Crabb, Karen Peck & New River, and Kelly Crabb & The Bowling Sisters.
Bring a lawn chair and gather with family and friends for an evening filled with music, hope, and inspiration as the cross is illuminated for the very first time. This free community event honors Jackson’s wish—to remind everyone who passes by that there is hope in Christ.

Proud to partner with Rozier Construction on their 30th Cross Installation.
The Jackson Conway Foundation is honored to partner with Rozier Construction Company, who is currently constructing Jackson’s Cross — a 120-foot cross that will stand as a powerful symbol of faith, hope, and remembrance. Upon completion, this cross will become the 30th cross of this scale built by Rozier Construction across the Southeastern United States.
The cross is actively under construction and will be erected in March, with its lighting taking place for the very first time during the special dedication event on March 7. This moment will mark not only the completion of the structure, but the beginning of its purpose as a lasting beacon for all who see it.
