Jason was a classmate from Kindergarten through high school, and though we didn't know each other well, I remember what a kind person he was. I am so sorry for your loss.

Jason was everyone's best friend. When you were around Jason, life was good and he made you feel as though you were the most important person to him. Although we did not spend much time together in the past few years, he was a special friend and I will miss knowing he is there for a friendly smile or conversation. God has a special place for people like him.

Im so sorry to hear about Jasons passing. He was an all-around guy. Many that knew him will miss his witty since of humor. He always had a knack to find humor in any situation and be quick with a straight face remark. He was a great friend, co-worker and a straight shooter. Jason was a man of many talents and abilities.
