Service Details

Jason Roy Warden was born on September 6th, 1971, in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. He passed away in Des Moines, Iowa on July 9th, 2024, at the age of 52. He was preceded in death by his father, Edwin Warden, and his mother, Gail Elaschuk.

Jason was a devoted and loving son, brother, and husband to his family. He was also a loyal, compassionate friend to many. He leaves behind his wife of nearly 30 years, Lindsay, his sister Tammie, his brother Trevor, three nephews, one niece, and his four much-loved cats (his favorite being Barbara). Jason’s many passions included playing guitar and drums, record collecting, recording his music and releasing it in vinyl format for everyone to hear, cats, mathematics, and traveling. He was a talented musician and songwriter who played in a few different bands within the local Des Moines scene. He had an amazing knack for mentoring and teaching his skills to others. His often unpredictable sense of humor gave everyone such joy and laughter. Jason's outgoing, infectiously happy personality will be greatly missed.

A memorial gathering will be held from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Friday, September 6, 2024, at the Hub Spot Enclosed Shelter (215 Water St., Des Moines, IA). In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Furry Friends Refuge in Jason's name.
