I am so deeply saddened to hear of Jason’s passing. Jason will always have a special place in my heart and in my boys’ hearts. I last saw him at Joan’s funeral and he had not changed one bit. I will always think of him with his top hat on. Rest in peace my friend.

Oh, Jason! I’m so sad to see your obit in the paper this morning. We sure had a grand time working together at the Center for Disabilities. I always loved your fearlessness, your ink and your top hat! The world is poorer without you in it. I hope you are running free in Heaven today

I’m so sad to read this tonight, Jason’s grandma was only two houses down on Marion road from my parents house soon as I pulled in the drive I would wave and he would come straight over, I will forever remember the conversations we had as I started having children of my own he loved them just as much as I do. We would talk about music work kids everything till he had to drive him self back down to grandmas. When grandma passed we just never seen him again his name is brought up every holiday wondering how he is doing. I will miss u my friend and thank you for all the time spent with our family May u rest in peace I will miss you and have been missing all our talks. I miss your smile and your black hat , rock heaven my friend till we see each other again . Much love to his dad and family I’m truly sorry he will be deeply missed .
Tim Matthews says
Jason had this amazing knack for making you a better person just by being your friend. He would always stop by with his top hat on, usually playing Mötley Crüe on his tape deck when I was working on cars in my front yard. I think about him so often and was so sad to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful, beautiful person inside and out. Sending love and support to his family during this tough time. He will no doubt be missed.

I was glad I was able to talk to him after his Grandma’s funeral. He gave his number and was able to call him on his birthday, and told me then that sadly he didn’t have long to live. I was privileged to have been his EA at school from 5th-7th grade. We kept in contact through the years, but not often as I wish I had. I remember most is his love of rock music. I pray he is rockin’ it in heaven.
