Jason Walker Obituary

Jason Lynn Walker 1983 ~ 2007 Jason Lynn Walker, our beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend, unexpectedly returned to the arms of his loving Heavenly Father after an accident on Feb. 20, 2007. He was born on August 11, 1983 to Lynn and Sharlynn Walker. Growing up, he had an adventurous spirit. He loved baseball, karate, snowboarding, dirt biking, water sports, and anything dangerous. He also had a great sense of curiosity and was always teaching himself something new. He had a particular passion for learning about cars, computers, and anything medical. He was an Eagle Scout and he graduated from Copper Hills High School in 2001. He was a senior software engineer at Teleperformance USA and he co-founded Codesapien Software Development. He married his high school sweetheart Jamie Hickam on March 11, 2005 and together they have two sons: Brayden (3) and Talon (1 month.) Jason was a loving husband, proud father, and loyal friend. He will be remembered for his sense of humor, determination, ambition, hard work, and willingness to do anything for anyone. On April 17, 2005, Jason was involved in a traumatic dirt biking accident. He survived against all odds and we were blessed to have two more years with him. Since that time he has been in severe pain, yet he never complained. We are grateful that he has found an end to his suffering. He is survived by his wife, Jamie; sons, Brayden and Talon; parents, Lynn and Sharlynn; siblings, Melanie, Jennifer, Alicia, and Lance; as well as countless friends and extended family members. He will be greatly missed. Memorial services will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, February 24, 2007 at the LDS Chapel on 9900 S. Dunsinane Drive (3815 W), South Jordan, Utah. A viewing will be held on Friday, February 23, 2007 from 6-8 p.m. at Broomhead Funeral Home, 12590 S. 2200 W., Riverton, Utah. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a trust fund set up on behalf of his children at any Wells Fargo Bank under the name of Jamie Walker.

I remember Jason the best by how well he provided and took care of his family. He always made sure Jamie and his boys had whatever they wanted or needed, money was not an issue he made it happen. He was the best at giving Jamie suprises and making her laugh and smile. I dont think i could ever know the pain Jamie is going threw or will go threw in the years to come but I hope she knows we will do everything we can to give her the love that Jason filled there home with. We Loved Jason and we will miss him so much.

to try and leave only one memory would be not only next to impossible, but also not justice to my best friend. jason and i were always striving to impress each other with same goal in mind< sucess). we loved to sit and talk, weather on the phone or in person. jason had such high asperations, for himself and his family. his goals in life were motivating to all that were in contact with him. knowing jason how i did will be one of my most charished memories.

Jamie,
I am so sorry to hear about Jason. I can't imagine what you are going through. Jason will never be forgotten, and how awesome it is that he blessed you with two beautiful boys. Remember that you are never alone, and that we are all here when you need anything at all.

Lynn, Sharlynn, Mel, Jen, Alicia and Lance

How saddened we are to know Jason has left this earthly existence, and yet how comforting to know he is free from the physical and emotional pain he endured. We pray that his boys will always know what a good person he was, and that they may continually feel him watching over them. Please know we are thinking of you all at this time and are sorry we won't be able to make it to the funeral.

With all our love,
Bret & Ashley Jorgensen

I haven't seen, nor talked to Jason in probably 6 years, but I knew him all through middle school and high school. I valued his friendship greatly, and he is one person I regret not keeping in touch with after high school. He was a great guy, funny, smart, and a great friend. I will miss him, despite not being in touch over the past few years. My thoughts and prayers go out to all his family and friends.

It is a great blessing to have been able to get to know Jason and his family over the past year and even more so over the past few months. I know the Lord places us in situations to learn and grow and I am thankful for the blessing it has been to get to know the Walkers, and to be touched by the life Jason lived. Jamie, our prayers are with you and your boys, as well as, Jason's family. We want you to know that we are here for you if you need anything. Please don't hesitate to call. We will be thinking of you and praying for you. May you be comforted.

Jamie, I can't begin to tell you how sad I am for you. Jason was such a great guy and was so lucky to have you as part of his life. He will be missed by so many and I hope you know how many people love and will miss him.

Jason was and is a caring and determined individual. His ambition was only exceeded by his compassion. He will be missed.

Jason, was a good friend, always smiling and ready to help. He was brilliant in his work and a proud father. It is a priviledge to have him as a friend. Jamie, we pray for your family.

Nick & Juli Newman

February 23, 2007

Jason was a very kind person who would do anything for anyone. He was always kind to me when I moved into the ward there in South Jordan, and my wife Juli knew him for many years growing up. We are both so sad to hear of this news and to think of his wife and children--our prayers go out to you. At the same time, just like the obituary says, maybe the bright side ( if there is one at all) is that the pain Jason was in from the accident two years ago is finally gone, and he can go on painless for the rest of eternity.

Jason was a high-achiever with a great sense of humor. I enjoyed working with Jason over the last several years and will miss him deeply, as a co-worker, but more importantly as a friend.

At this tragic time, my prayers are with his family, especially his wife and children. Although I did not know him as you did, he still made a big impact in my life. He will be missed.

We only knew Jason through Hugs for Life and working with you.Hugs was started to prevent suicide, but it's meaning strikes much deaper.

Although extremely saddened by the early departure of my good friend Jason, I can’t help but feel extremely blessed and grateful for the gift of his friendship.
Having similar interests and sharing the same passion about computers, we always talked about how great it would be if we could work on a project together. It took a long time, but finally, about a year ago, I was presented with the opportunity to work with Jason on what would be the first of many projects together, ultimately leading up to starting up our own company. Taking this opportunity allowed me to work closely with Jason, to get to know him, and to nurture something that turned out to be one of the best friendships of my life. I am extremely thankful I took that opportunity, that was the choice that led to moments that will always be remembered as some of the most rewarding and enjoyable of my life.

Jason’s personality always left an impression everywhere he went, his intelligence, loyalty and very unique sense of humor were remarkable. One thing you could always expect from Jason was to hear exactly what was in his mind, whatever it was. Jason’s dedication, motivation and will to excel were his trademarks, you could always expect nothing but the best from anything he did, because good was just not good enough for him.

You made a profound impact in my life and will be deeply missed my friend!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jamie, Brayden, Talon and Jason’s family. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for anything you need.

I haven't had many friends that I could call "close" but Jason was definitely one of them.

I can't believe how many times in the last couple days I have been reminded of him and had to just stop and think.

I remember how proud he was of his family; he was always talking about Braden and you could tell how excited he was when Talon showed up.

I remember how dedicated he was, not only to the community that he was apart of, but also to always doing things the way they ought to be done.

I remember the energy and excitement he had for the things that he was involved in, and how it would rub off on you whether you liked it or not.

I remember how hungry he was for knowledge; he would study constantly on so many diverse subjects, and I know that knowledge is something he was able to take with him.

I remember how he was always happy; I was always amazed that with all the pain he was in how positive he would always be.

It is amazing what a mark someone can leave on your life, and like so many other things not realize it and take it for granted until it is gone. I know that my little world will be a lot smaller without Jason in it.

I can only imagine how hard this is on his wife and family, but I hope that we can all add our memories and love to theirs and keep Jason in our lives always.

Jason worked with my husband at 1800 Contacts. Often times I would bring our girls and come eat lunch with Mark at work. Jason was always so kind to our little family. He was always smiley and always stopped to say hello. He talked often of his little boy and how our daughter the same age reminded him of him. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. My prayers and thoughts are with his sweet wife and children.

I will always remember Jason as a very happy person. He was a great friend, the best that one could ask for. Jason was the friend that i would always call when i needed someone to talk to. no matter how busy he was he would take the time to listen. even though my problems were petty and unimportant. I spent most of my highschool life with Jason and love him dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, especially Jamie and the boys. I will miss Jason so much and will always consider him to be one of my greatest friends.

Jason was a great friend always pushing me to learn new things and get out and experience life. Without him I would probably still be sitting at home wasting away on my computer. I will always remember him. My thoughts and payers are with Jamie and his family, if there is anything I can do to help please let me know.

Jason was always the first to try something in our group of friends. I have countless memories of Snowboarding with him, and he would push us all and above all, make us laugh til we cried. I love this kid and I am lucky to have had a friend as genuine as him. Thoughts and prayers to Jaime and his family.

Josh Carter

February 21, 2007

I will always remember Jason as a happy person. He would do anything for everyone, when i had problems he was the friend that i called, and even if he were way too busy for my petty problems that were only important to me, he would take the time and make me feel better. I remember hanging out with him almost everyday for our entire highschool lives. no one made you feel so important as Jason did, and he was always fun to be around. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, especially Jamie and his sons. I will miss Jason, and will always regret not seeing, hanging out with, and talking to him more. He will always be one of my greatest friends and i will always remember him.
