I did not know Jason but from what has been said he must have been a great man. I went to Carolina Memorial Baptist Church with Meri Beth when we were teenagers. I just found this and just wanted to wish the family peace and comfort. Even though years has passed you don't stop missing them and what an impact they leave on your life.

Jason's smile and playful spirit brightened Sunday morning for our 5th grade boys during 2014 in Upstreet at Watermarke Church. It was a pleasure to have served with him. I am thankful to know he is celebrating in Heaven with this Savior.

To Jason's beautiful family,

I only first heard of of Jason's passing yesterday, and I am completely crushed by the news. While coaching together at the Sequoyah Youth Track program for a few years, I was fortunate enough to get to know him and all of you a little. I can sincerely say I don't think I have ever met a better quality individual in my life than Jason. Everything he did was worth paying attention to because he always seemed to lead by example. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to know him. God bless you all.

Jason was such a great guy. On his sleeve he wore his sincerity and passion for life and his care for others. Though sadly I've not spoken to him in a couple of years when I left Windstream (PAETEC), I'm going to miss him. Jason made an impact on me in the brief period we worked together. When not discussing work we talked of running or triathlons. My condolences to his wife, children, parents, siblings and all of his family and to what I'm sure are his many, many friends in and outside of Atlanta

I worked with Jason at Windstream/PAETEC. I am in the NY office and although I never met him personally he was the account manager to most of my GA customers, he was always such a great coworker. He will definitely be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family. ~Eileen
