“Hello, I just thought I’d come on here to say thank you,’’ Jackson posted on Instagram.

“Thank you to everyone that’s dropped a comment, liked a video, made a video, sent me photos of memorabilia, messages passing on their condolences, tattoos you’ve gotten of dad now, murals and artwork.

“His old signatures and just everything really the last two months of just paying your respects and showing how much he loved you guys and how much you loved him.

“It does put a smile on my face and makes me happy to know he’s impacted so many people’s lives in such a positive way. It’s pretty unreal and I just wanted to come on here and say thank you and to let you all know as well that I’m OK. The last two or three weeks I’ve been training every day, I’ve been swimming every day and I’m OK.”
