Jason was an amazing person, we all know that. I just want to say that I miss him and I think about him now more than ever. I am wrestling at the University of Nebraska. I met Jason through wrestling. We have so many great memories, I wish I would have gotten to see him in this past year but I know that he will always be in my heart. I pray for the family and I know that he lived a great life. And i know he is in heaven cheering for me every time I step on the mat. I use that as motivation everyday i feel like i am so lucky to have been blessed with a family like his. I love you guys.Jason ill be missing you man.

To the family of Jason,
I don't have the words to articulate the depth of sorrow I feel for each one of you and for all of Jason's friends; but I know the One Who does...and I pray that--as you draw upon cherished memories of your beloved Jason, and look to the God Who gave you the gift of his life--the peace of His promise and the joy of His love will comfort and sustain you.
Even though I do not know your family--except my dear friend Mae--I feel your pain, and it is my profound prayer that God will be your source of strength and comfort through all the coming days. And may you be mightily blessed during this Easter season because of the risen Christ!
My love, because of His love,
Merilou Effinger

Sometimes we don't get to keep them as long as we'd like, but to have them for a minute is to have them for a life time.

To the Family of Jason Self,
I believe there are no words that can even begin to relinquish the pain you must feel at this time. I pray that over time - the many condolences, prayers, kind gestures, scriptures, and much love from all who know you will begin to heal the pain. Right now all you can do is grieve for your precious son and that is OK. I did not have the honor of knowing Jason. Our son, Madison Rodgers, played football with Brian for the past two years and thinks highly of him as a friend and an athlete. He has been on a trip this week and would have attended the services had he been here. I only knew you, Teresa, from helping with the team meals, but I know of how loving and supportive you are to your children and family. You have been in my thoughts and prayers since I learned of your loss. You have so many to love and support you. Nothing that they can say or do is sufficient. Just accept your friends' & loved ones' help when they offer. Don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it. Take one day at a time - even hour by hour, moment by moment. Only God and His love can sustain you through your loss and give you the strength you need. We will continue to remember you and your family in our prayers, Teresa.
We are so very sorry for your loss,
Marilyn, Marvin and Madison Rodgers

The Self Family,
While reading the Tulsa World I came upon the notice of your son's death. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my condolences to your entire family and friends of Jason.
I too have spent many hours and days watching my sons and now my grandsons compete in the wrestling programs in Oklahoma. I feel we are one big family and God just put it on my heart to extend these words. So many meaningful words have been shared, I know Jason was an exceptional young man. We will keep you in our prayers.

Jay and Teresa, Kelsey and Brian,
We want to say something to help, but words are so inadequate.
We can't say that we know what you feel because we don't. We didn't have your special Jason for 21 years. We have lost a son, daughter, and brother, and we know the almost unbearable pain that you are going through. We wish we had answers, but all we can do is pray that God will surround each of you with his love and strength, and help you through this time. Please let us know how we can help even if it is just to talk. We love you all. Mike, Sheri, & Brett Knight

Jason,
I did the hardest thing I have ever had to do today...say goodbye to you. Your laugh and your smile and that infamous head nod. I always imagined that you would be the one to throw Dale a bachelor party when the time for him to get hitched arrived. I had it all planned out in my mind. You would also be at my girls weddings....just supposed to always be here. You and Dale were supposed to take your kids to little league and wrestling and show them what "REAL" wrestling is. I am going to miss you so much. Yet I know that this is really not goodbye, just a pause until we see each other again and I am certain I will see you again. So, until that day....save a place for me, I'll be there soon. I love you.

Self Family,
My thoughts are going out to you all. Not much can be said in a time like this but know that many people are praying and thinking about you all. In the next days, weeks, and months, keep those good memories close to heart and turn to them in times of sadness. Keep your heads up and listen with laughter at all the silly stories everyone tells about your son and brother. He tried so hard to keep everyone laughing, thats all he would want now as well.
Today is hard, but every tomorrow will be better.

We are so sorry for your loss, and our prayers and sympathy are with you. Jason was such a funny outgoing guy and everyone will miss him. Watching him wrestle from little league all the way up was always a pleasure as he was always smiling & laughing.

Praying for love and comfort to each of you though we know no words can express this deep regret for your loss. Know that though the time with Jason has been too short, the blessing of his life in yours can never be lost.

You have been in my thoughts daily and I pray for comfort for you in your loss. Although I did not know him, from what I've seen your Jason was a wonderful young man. I am so sorry for your loss.
March 15, 2010
To my sister the best mother children could ever hope for,lovinig, stood by her children and supported them in every way. Jay a loving and supportive father with all the love any man could ever have for his children and wife. My sister and her husband did everything for their children in good times and bad. They had much more good times than bad. If ever there was a caring,loving supportive family this is it. Jason was a wonderful son and brother and loved his dogs. Just try to remember all of the peoples lives he touched and thank God for letting us know and love him. He was so special to all of us. You can count on me for anything anytime Teresa I LOVE YOU TAMMY

Jay, Teresa, Brian, and Kelsey...I know that I did not have the opportunity to meet Jason over the last four years that I have dated Jay Lowe. However, you all know Jay, and he doesn't brag about just any 'ol kid. Jason was special to Jay, as well as Brian...and the entire Self family. I've heard countless stories of you all, that I do feel like I know you! Jay holds you all very dear to his heart. He has talked about many great memories he had with Jason. My heart breaks for you all and we are thinking of you throughout this sad time. Our entire family, my little boys included, are praying for your family.

I know there's not a whole lot anyone can say at a time like this to lift anyone's spirits. Just letting you know I'm thinking about the family. Jason was a hell of a guy. Whether it was buying a thong at the mall during intermission for him to wrestle in and win the Edmond tournament, quoting "Goldmember" during practice until Coach Haizlep and Coach Dick were ready to strangle us, playing "Freeze-out" on the back of bus on the way home from tournaments, or the devout quest to learn "Stairway to Heaven" on the guitar, he never failed in elevating every situation to it's highest potential for fun or hilarity. We'll miss ya buddy.

Jason,
I believe we share a brotherhood with people who go through the same things in life. We became ourselves in the same wrestling rooms and at the same tournaments. I remember being a Senior and watching you as a freshman wrestling in the state finals. What a quick and lasting impact you made on Westmoore wrestling. More recently, I remember Christmas Break, sitting there with several generations of Westmoore wrestlers, laughing about the memories we had - from the same wrestling rooms and the same tournaments. You were young, too young, but you were always one to make a quick and lasting impact.
Thanks for the memories, they live on forever.

Jason will live on in the wonderful memories that my family have of our daughters childhood. Your love and dedication to your children always seemed to overflow to every child that had the pleasure of knowing you guys. Jason will truly be missed by us. We love you guys.

Jay, Teresa, Kelsey and Brian,
I can't even begin to express my sorry for your loss. What an amazing young man you raised in Jason. The hurt we all feel can't compare to the loss your family feels and the sad part is there is little any of us can do to lessen your pain.
I do know this, we all, me especially, are better people for having known Jason. Life was just special when Jason was "in the house". I cherrish the memories I have with Jason and the friendship I have with the family.
I know Jason is in a wonderful place now, probably trying to shoot a single leg on St.Peter, but I miss him.
Please know that my family will continue to keep your family in our prayers each day, and trust you will find the strength in each other to bare this unbelievable sorrow.
All our love and prayers.

Jason,
You were one of the funniest people who I ever had the chance to meet and grow to know. I'll never forget the time spent with ya hiding out playing pool at family events, playing Call of Duty online and laughing at the intensity and funny comments ya had through a headset that I would have to get up off the floor to try and play again, the umpire display ya put on in full gear in the kitchen, or even just playing Sequence with everyone and having to watch you, Brian, and Kelsey to see if yall we're "helping" each other. Your constant motto of always having fun was a joy to be around and you could always make anyone smile and laugh no matter what was going on. You could strike up a convo with anyone, anywhere, at anytime. The world is missing one the greatest people I know, greatest brothers I have seen with his sister and brother, and a great son that your parents were more than proud of. It's a sad day when a person as great as you is lost at such a young age. I'll always remember you man. I love ya and hope ya keep heaven laughing as much as you did down here. Watch over your family and we'll all see ya one day.
Much love to you Jason Fredrick Self

Jason,
You were one of my favorites of Trevor's friends. Best looking one too. You brought alot of happiness and joy to Trevor's life. He enjoyed spending time with you while you guys were in high school and today is his 21st birthday. I'm sure he wishes you were here to celebrate with him. I had not seen you in a while, but asked about you often. I am sorry you had to go so soon, parents are not supposed to bury their children it's the other way around. You will be missed more than you know. I only knew you for a short While, but you made a positive lasting impression. I'm sure you will be God's right hand man. God bless you Jason!!! Trevor and I love you with all our heart and soul!!! And will miss you greatly!
To Jason's parents,
Trevor and I are so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,

Jas,
I don't even know what to do with you gone. I feel as if I have lost a pseudo little brother. I love your sister like my own and love your family like my second family as well. I know you will do your best to look out for them as you are being looked out now by a father who can keep his watch over you for eternity. All I can do now is try to take care of your sister, my best friend, our best friend. I love her and your family indefinitely and I just want to take care of them the best I can, because I know that is what you would want in your absence. I love you and miss you. Be a good care keeper where you are and I will while I am here. Please help them all to use your life as an example never to give up on those you love. WE love you always.

I can only imagine the unbearable time this may be. Keep your faith during this time and let God give you peace and rest.
Jason was a beautiful, vibrant man. You can see it in all of his pictures. Only God knows why he needed him in heaven so early. He must have had a good reason.
Love you!

Your family means the world to me. Any amount of sadness I feel now does not even begin to compare to yours. You are in my prayers and I would do anything to make it better for you. I love Jason like a brother. He was an amazing person. His smile could turn any frown upside down. It's still unreal to me that someone who is such a big part of my childhood is gone. I will cherish the memories forever. Jason, if you want to tp my brother in heaven just let me know. I will bring the toilet paper and the pringles buddy
