Joshua Joseph Jackson Sr., (Wasu to) “Blue Hail Stone”, 47, died Oct. 25, 2019, in Wolf Point. He was born in Wolf Point Sept. 16, 1972, to Lola Wetsit and Gerald Bootsie Jackson Sr. His childhood was spent growing up in Wolf Point and in the summer with his Grandma Ruth and Grandpa Pete, traveling to Canada to powwows and visiting relatives.

He attended schools in Wolf Point, Wahpeton, N.D., Chemawa in Salem, Ore., and eventually receiving his GED. In August 2017, he achieved getting his commercial driver’s license.

His oldest son was from a previous relationship, Christian “CJ” Hustad. He was proud of his children, loved attending their sporting events and was there for them no matter what they did. “Big Josh,” as known to most, was the nicest guy with a big heart. He was friends with everyone. If you happen to be one of the receivers of his knock-out punches, he would still have shaken your hand or hugged you after. He could never stay mad for very long. One of his many courageous achievements was in April 2004 when he happened to be by the Amtrak station in Wolf Point and noticed a lady on the tracks. As the train approached, he ran over and pulled her from the oncoming path of the train, risking his life. He received the Montana Medal of Valor awarded to him by Gov.
