While the death of Jackson has been politicized -- police arrested a twice-deported undocumented immigrant in the suspected drunken driving crash -- Monroe's co-workers at Allison Payment Systems want to make sure his life isn't overlooked. "He did everything for me," Deborah Monroe, his wife of nearly 24 years, told CNN affiliate WRTV . He tweeted that it was "disgraceful that a person illegally in our country" killed Jackson, who played for the Indianapolis Colts,. "This is who my husband was," Deborah Monroe told WRTV. The couple had no children but the wife told the station they considered their more than two dozen nephews and nieces their own.
