We are going to miss Jason at the farm. He was a dependable employee. We had some good times around the shop when he was there. He always had a friendly greeting for everyone. He had become an important part of our farm family. Our thoughts are with his family.

Mary Lou, Jason, Jordon, Jacob,
My heart goes out to you and I want to give you my most sincere sympathies.
I am going to miss his smile and talking to him, as you are too.
I feel truly blessed that I got to know him and enjoy having him around.
I remember the beautiful flowers and note he left on Cathy's back door step after she had moved in, welcoming her to the neighborhood. He was and still is the only one who welcomed her out there. The way he kept our place so nicely mowed before we moved over to Iowa, and his checking on the house when it was being built. He was so handy from picking up a wrench, to swinging a hammer, to painting. And he was such a perfectionest! I enjoyed seeing him when I was over at Cathy's, or to having them over. He was so thoughtful and took such pride in helping her out with her place, the dogs, and horses and donkeys.
And the enjoyment we had when, he, Cathy and you boys came to the lake. What wonderful memories of such a great time from tubing to rides on the waverunner to an awesome fire works display he and Jim put on. Didn't we have fun!!!!!!! I am most greatful we had the chance to sit and visit just a month ago when Cathy was in the hospital.
He had a huge heart of gold and even though he is in a better place, he left us much too soon. He died doing what he loved and he was so proud of his new car. Jason, Jordon, and Jacob, when you look up in the evening sky, remember Daddy will be watching over you as he looks out of one of God's
windows (a shining star). and he will be with you during the day, too. He loved you boys so much and keep the wonderful memories close to your heart.
Just know we love you boys, too.
