You are always with me. I still have the tattoo on my arm that you purchased for me back at Belmont Tattoo, which is no longer there. I will never get the tat covered or altered. Maybe touched up a little. :)

If you were with us, I'm not sure how you would feel about everything, but I know for darn sure you would care about others.

We all love and miss you, Jason. Period.

Love Always,

Adrian (formerly known as "Nog" - because screw that stupid nickname anyway.)

How many years. How many memories. Beaker and I were talking about you this past Sunday. Did you hear us? For as long as we say your name, you will live on.

Love you Jason.

15 years. Wow Jason. Has it really been 15 years? I can't believe it. It seems like forever and yet it seems like just yesterday. I still remember when you visited me in my dream. You looked very handsome in that suit. Things are insane here on earth right now. I can't imagine how you would deal with being cooped up inside all the time. I hope you were able to meet up with Derek. Another one of my kids gone too soon. Miss you J.

Another year down. If you were with us today you would be just as confused as the rest of us.

Love and Miss you, Brother. Hope you and Derek found each other up there.

Jason was an amazing person whom I had the honor of calling a friend and for a period of time even the one I loved. I will always love his smiles and they way he could make me laugh. Although we lost touch a couple of years ago, he was never far from my thought and there he will always remain. Jason we all love you and miss you.

If there ever was a man that I could call a brother, it was Jason Leighton. When he joined forces with Manny and I, it was a trio that the youth of tomorrow would speak of for years to come. Ok, perhaps not, BUT JASON WOULD AGREE!! Seriously, I miss him. I love him and always will. No matter what kind of differences we had, he would always welcome me with a smile when we reunited from whatever end of the Bay Area both of us dwelled.

Never forget. All my love, to Jason Leighton and the Leighton Family.

People lose contact with each other day after day. We always let those days go by and don't think that tomorrow they could be gone. That point has come and cannot be changed. I know you were a good person but I never got to really know how great you are. Your close friends are so lucky to get to be a part of your life. Jason I am sooo sorry. It came to a point were I would see you every few yrs or more. Jason I wish we had never drifted apart. You were always so sweet to me. I will always have my memories in my mind and heart, good or bad.

It is hard for me to write this and yet I feel that out of respect for a good man, I must. Jason, I really didn't know you well, yet I knew you well enough to be able to greet you on a first name basis and you know who I was. We shook hands everytime we met and just plesant chit chat.

You have many friends that know you better than I and all of them can say the things about you I wish I knew you well enough to say myself, so instead I will say this.

You kept up the good fight my man and now it is time to take a rest.

You will not be forgotten.

Jaso was one of the most amazing people I think I'll ever meet. He was never hesitant to help another person, even when he didn't have much. Jason was the kind of person that would do anything to make his friends smile (even if it meant looking a little bit silly trying to play Dance Dance Revolution!!). We love you Jason and we won't ever forget you..

Jason was my brother. There is no other way to describe him. He's been through hell and back with me and never once did he ask for anything in return other than to pay it forward. A true character with character, an example for us all to follow. Thank you for being a gift I sorely needed in my life. I will carry you in my heart always.

Our lives went seperate ways even though we actually lived so close to one another. Jason had truly one of the kindest hearts and all that I can simply say is that he will always be in my heart.

I am so glad that you came into my life when you did. You showed me how to Love and Laugh again. You and I shared some very special time together and became very good friends. I will miss you so much and not recieving a " GM BOO & HAGD" everyday is going to be strange. You will be deeply missed in my heart,soul and mind.
