Julie Ann Jackson

Our beloved Julie Ann Jackson, 63, of Bronson, FL, died on January 1, 2023 in Gainesville, FL. She was born on September 19, 1959 in Holland, Michigan. Receiving a bachelor’s degree from Davenport University and her master’s degree from Xavier University, Julie was very successful within the manufacturing field, ending her career as the Vice President of Manufacturing. Her true mastery though lay in her special relationships with animals. A true whisperer, her special passion was with horses, including endurance racing and raising thoroughbreds. In November of 2016 Julie moved and relocated Runalong Farms to Bronson, FL.  Very quickly she made her mark on the endurance community, earning admiration, respect and love from many. She was a member of the Florida’s Breeders Association, American Endurance Riders Conference and the Jockey Club. She will be greatly missed by all of her family and friends.

Julie is preceded in death by her husband, Doug Biegert; her father, Lawrence Jackson and her brother, Steve Jackson.

She leaves behind her partner, Felix Quinones; her mother, Betty Jackson; her brother, Tom (Jai) Jackson; her sisters, Jeannine (Phil) Palmer and Jodie Jackson and her three stepchildren as well as several nieces and nephews.
