Mrs. Gilligan and Family:
I was Jason's college assistant wrestling coach at Lock Haven University. It was a pleasure and honor to work with such a dedicated student-athlete. He always worked hard on and off the mat, always had something humorous to say and the other wrestlers enjoyed being around him. He always had the respect of his teammates and people viewed him as a leader. I am not suprised to hear how successful he had become with his life. Our condolesences to his wife, son and family. God Bless.

Dear Jackie and Family,
My entire family is so deeply saddened by your loss. Although we did not personally know Jason, he was one of the most respected wrestlers in the state of Pennsylvania, not only for his performance, but due to the way that he carried himself in victory as well as the rare defeat. My family sends our deepest sympathies.

Mrs. Gilligan and Family,
My daughter was a student of Mr. Gilligan's at Palisades H.S. She adored him as a teacher and considered him a friend. She didn't mention teachers too often, but he was one of the teachers she spoke the most about and affectionately so. The Palisades students will never forget Mr. Gilligan and will continue to carry him in their hearts, thoughts and prayers. We have lost a great asset to our school community. Our deepest condolences to you and the entire family. May he rest in peace.

Janie, Jere, Holly, and Jackie -
I am so sorry for your sudden loss of Jason and can't imagine how it must feel to loose someone so young with so much ahead of them. I did not know Jason personally but I got to learn about him when Janie would brag about him in college. She was a very proud mom and always spoke so highly of her children especially Jason and his achievements. Hold onto the memories and it will give you all the strength to go on. I'm sure from what I've heard he would want nothing less. You are all in my thoughts and prayers!
