Jason Alcorta Obituary
well before his time on March 6, 2005. Jason was born March 7, 1988 in Litchfield Park at Luke AFB. He would have been 17 years old. He is survived by his loving parents, Jose R. & Laura Alcorta and Edward Fornes & Gladis J. Alcorta and his caring older brother Joseph B. Alcorta; As well as many grandparents, aunts, uncles, step-siblings, and cousins. There was no young man who loved life more than Jason. Jason was a loving, caring, compassionate individual who'd give a complete stranger anything he could to bring a smile to their face. Jason was a very talented young man who left this world before his potential was even scratched. Jason will be remembered by his undying love, utmost care, and never-ending compassion. Jason's joy in life was bringing laughter to those who needed most. It didn't matter the situation or time: He had you on the floor laughing so hard you'd need to run away to use the bathroom. His passion was life and the people he filled it with. There was never a moment wasted. There was nothing in life Jason couldn't overcome. From all this and much, much more to his family and friends he will be "Forever in our Hearts Never to be Forgotten." A celebration of Jason's life will begin on Friday March 11, 2005 at Heritage Funeral Chapel, 6830 W Thunderbird Rd, Peoria, visitation will be from 5pm to 8pm. Mass of Christian burial will be held Saturday March 12, 2005 at St Thomas More Catholic Church, 6180 W Utopia Road (59th Ave and Loop 101 – 2 Blocks south of 101) at 11AM. Interment Services will follow at Resthaven Park Cemetery, 6290 W Northern. Those of you whom have had the blessing to know Jason considered yourself among the best of company. All friends and family are invited to come and say good-bye to the greatest young man the world will never get to know.

Happy Birthday Jason. I love you so much and I wish you were here to meet Abraham. you would adore him. It's kind of crazy because you've never met me either but I know you. I know you from the tears on my chest from Bear, I know you from the several memorials I've been to and seen your face all over grandma's house. Your bedroom is still the same and your clothes is laid out as if you're coming home late. Thank you for touching Bear's life and being a huge part of it.
I'm so grateful to be apart of your family and I can't wait for the day you and Carlos are reunited and he can finally introduce us and our son. We love you <3 Happy Early Birthday !

Dear Lord I do thank you for all the great times and feel blessed you entrusted me with with your precious son Jason for almost seventeen years and 9 month of pregnancy but I am only human and can't stop feeling and thinking how much more I need him. You must have really needed Jason to have called him home so early and leave me with a broken heart and shattered soul. We were just beginning and Jason was only on the brink of adulthood- Why Lord why?
I love you Jason Andrew Alcorta and I promise I will see you again!!

you had such an amaizing personality and heart. I seriously miss you so much, you were almost like a brother to me and alana. I remember you picking me up and throwing me on the bed. We had the same birthday as eachother, I remember Going bowling for my birthday party and you went there. I also remember i was painting my nails trying to do frech tips and i couldnt figure out how to do it, so you told me to try useing tape, it worked and i actually still use it. I miss you so much Jason. You will never ever be forgoten, you will always be in my heart. ? I actually wanna cry just writing this.. Please watch over all of us, all of us.? I love you Jason, stay with us. ???

Hey Jason,
I miss you like crazy. Just spent the last hour or so reading everyones entries, you definitely had an impact on everyone including those that never had the privilege of meeting you. Yesterday on my drive home, i was thinking about how 2 days before you passed I had this gut feeling to go visit you. So when I pulled up to your house, you asked me a question Ill never forget. I thank God that I had that last chance to talk to you. Then before I knew it, my ipod shuffled your song (Hear You Me) and I knew at that exact moment, you were with me
I love you more than anything, Jay.

Jason,
I wish I had the chance to meet you in person. I met your dad this week and he shared with me how awesome a young man you were. Watching the videos and seeing how many people loved you, there's no doubt we would've been friends (and family). I know you were there when I met your dad and saw Laura for the first time in SO long. I shared your story with my 16 year old brother Jacob, and I could see it seep into his heart and into his stubborn teenage head :) I know you've influenced countless young people toward making smart decisions and appreciating everyday - And I know we'll get to meet someday.
Much love
