Sue, Sara, Anna, John and family -- Jason was such a cute and fun little boy who laughed so easily and grew into a wonderful, compassionate young man you can always be proud of. May your good memories give you some comfort in your loss and knowing he is safe now and at peace in Heaven where grandma met him with open arms and a big smile. I can't imagine the heartache you are all going through but my thoughts and prayers are with you always. Love you all.

Not only was Jason a great coworker, he was a great friend. The kind of person that put others first and could always make you smile. My sympathy goes out to his family and to all of his friends who mourn his passing. When you look up the definition of a "good dude" that was Jason.
