Jason Mills
December 30, 2015
Jason Mills, 44, died suddenly from complications of a heart aneurysm Wednesday, December 30, 2015 at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines.
Jason was born August 23, 1971. He was an accomplished musician and drummer in several bands. He was an avid collector of music, especially heavy metal. Music played a huge part in his life.

Don and I recently came in contact with Jason again. I loved it that he was still playing drums after all these years and in a band. I will miss him.

It seems like yesterday the crew was getting together for another fun night.Even though it has been a number of years since we have spoken. My memories are intact and the 80's into the 90's we had some great times. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during this tough time. You'll never be forgotten Jason and may you rest in Peace!!

I didn't know u Jason but we do share the exact same name rest in peace and to whomever is leaving insulting messages it is completely unneeded obviously he has many friends and family that knew him a lot more than you and are showing their condolences if you have a problem with that then you are the one who maybe isn't right.

Jason is a brother to many that love him unconditionally. Your negative words will never change that. How does it feel to matter to anyone? Your hate will only consume your soul.
Jason lives on in all that truly knew the man.
WE LOVE YOU JASON!

Jason, I'm so sad you are gone. I can't believe I will never speak to you again. Mommy is heart broken. You know Larry and I will do whatever we need to take care of her. Our lives will never be the same. I just pray you can rest in peace. I love you and will miss you forever :(
