Memories and Condolences

Not sure what to say?





It is always hard to lose a loved one especially so young. But the sorrow turns to memories, great memories!! Jason was the consummate team player the kind of player every coach wants on his team. So my memory was of a young man that always worked his tail off and was fun to be around. His class was good class kids that had a lot of fun. I have great memories of his senior year. Coach V

To those that may read this in times to come. Jason was a son, a best friend and a husband. Although he left us way to soon his goodness will remain with all those who knew him. Thank you all who loved him and remember his love for all of you. Karen and I know Jason awaits us and we will be ever so happy when that reunion day arrives. Until then.... "Justus Three" will keep us going.

Our hearts are broken at a time when we had such joy and hope for your future. You will be missed you sweet, funny young man. Your warmth and wit were a winning combination. Your devoted love for your mother and father so endearing. You will never be forgotten. We will continue to tell stories and remember all that you did, all that you were and all that you might have been.
We will keep you safe and loved in our hearts always.

God took another good one home, although it was too soon to lose him from our lives. I didn't know my cousin Jason well, but during the couple of times that we hung out with the family, it felt like we had grown up together. He was so easy going and we had a lot of laughs. Jason, even though we hadn't spent much time together, I will never forget you - we are family. Uncle Lucky and Aunt Karen, even though we are miles apart, we are here for you. I love you both. Dad and Jason are smiling down on us all. God Bless.

I am deeply conflicted with sorrow for the loss of Jay. We shared a connection like brother and sister, shared a great deal of time talking about our favorite authors and watching the same movies over ans over until we had the lines memorized. Jason was a thoughtful,loving young man with a beautiful soul. To Lucky and the rest of his family my deepest sympathies.

To Mr and Mrs Elden, sorry it took me so long to respond. I just became aware of how to contact you. I was very fortunate to have had Jason play football for me. He worked very hard to prepare himself for his senior year. I will always remember him giving his best effort at all times. I am very sorry for your loss. Coach Vercillo

He will be deeply missed by myself and many others as I know he was a bright light in many peoples life. He was one of my best friends and like a brother to me. He would lift me up when I was down and he could see the goodness in everything. He was truly a beacon in my life. I feel honored just for knowing him and to have been able to spend the time I did with him, all be it way, way too short. All of my love and sympathies to Lucky, Karen and Megan. God bless and comfort you.

I first met Jason in 4th grade at Saint Anastasia and we hit it off immediately. I remember having many fun times at his house comparing baseball card collections and playing in the yard. He left us too early and will be missed by many.

This is difficult for me, so I can't imagine what Megan, Mr. and Mrs. Elden are going through. Jason was always one of my best friends growing up. I will always cherish the memories we had of hanging out at each other's houses. Mr. and Mrs. Elden, you guys were like a second family to me. I pray that all of you can have the strength to carry Jason' s memory on. I know that everyone who knew Jason will miss him and love him forever.

Love you brother,
