Mr. Osborne impacted the lives I many. My son and I went walking by his house on night looking at the Christmas lights and The Osborne family was at the gates giving out giant candycanes. I saw one of his cars and he seen me looking and invited me and my son in to get a closer look. He was such a kind man and never met a stranger. He made me and my son feel like he had known us forever. I would see him at Razorback games and He would reconize me ever time he truely will be missed. Prayers for comfort to his wife and daughter. They are great people too.

Mr. Osbourne, was a gaint of a man, I remember "Paint your Heart Out" where volunteers would go out and paint the house of the poor and elderly people. Mr. Osbourne would provide lunch for the volunteers, oooh those good old turkey legs and potato salad and candy cane. God Bless the Osbourne family, I will be praying for them during there loss.

My family was returning to Hot Springs one night and was crossing the Arkansas River when we saw the mountain glowing, we realized this must be the man that lights up his house at Christmas and some people don’t like it. We followed the flow of cars right to his house, it was beautiful. I told my family that this is a man of faith with means and he means to show his faith. We loved it. Thank you Jennings. God speed.

Ive heard aloft about Mr Osborne since I've been in Little Rock. I had heard about his Christmas lighting, his barbeques, and all that sort of thing. I had never meet the man, or been to any function he was at, so I really didn't know what kind of man he was. Then one day driving down 12th street there was a older man mowing an over grown cemetery. later that evening, I find out on the news that it was this Jennings Osborne fellow I'd heard about... I think that's when I realized that he did things from his heart and not for the recognition... I had always wanted to meet the man after that.. sorry now that I will never have the chance. A man we could all aspire to be more like, I think even without wealth, this man would have still found ways to make others lives a little better.

I am truly sorry to hear about the loss of such a wonderful, giving man. He has shown me and the world what selflessness is. He gave to those in need as well as those with a worthy cause. I pray to be a third the person he was when I leave this world. My prayers are with Breezy, and Mitzi as they go through this very difficult time. God Bless the two of them.

I will pray for the Osborne family, they are very good people, they have helped many people in Little Rock and Arkansas. I thank them for all their support for Little Rock and Arkansas and the United States. Jennings is one of the few people who have met several Presidents of our Country. The family has always supported Arkansas.
