JASON KRUSKA Obituary

May 4, 1972 - Aug. 16, 2015 HOUSTON Jason Paul Kruska was born in Altus, OK on May 4, 1972, to parents, Paul and Mary Kruska. He went to be with his Lord August 16, 2015, in Houston, TX. Jason's education included a B.S. from Oklahoma State University in 1996 and an MBA at UC Berkeley in 2002. Jason joined NASA Johnson Space Center in 1997 and worked for various projects. In 2013, Jason was inducted into Western Oklahoma State College Hall of Fame. Prior to entering ninth grade, Jason was injured in a bicycle accident that left him a quadriplegic. Regarding physical challenges, he said, "I never consciously thought about it. It was an inconvenience but it wasn't going to stop me." Jason is survived by his wife of 13 years, Moon Tse Kruska; parents, Paul and Mary Kruska, of Altus, OK; brother, Dr. Jarrett Kruska and family, of Enid, OK; and a host of relatives and friends. A Celebration of Life will be held Wednesday, August 19, 2015, at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Nassau Bay, TX and on Saturday, August 22, 2015, at FUMC, Altus, OK. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Western Oklahoma State College Foundation or Oklahoma State University Foundation.

It only hakes a moment to read Jason's accomplishments and know what an extraordinary young man he was...and IS. That makes his absence (for awhile) all the more painful. We are praying comfort for you and some unexpected joy as you celebrate his ultimate Promotion. Psalm 116:15

I have such precious memories of a beautiful, precocious, little blond boy and his equally amazing baby brother. You see, God allowed me the opportunity of occasionally baby sitting this fine young man who has accomplished so much, and touched so many lives by his faith - filled beautiful life. I can only imagine the party held in Heaven this week to welcome Jason to his promised Heavenly home. Prayers being sent to the family for comfort and peace. Love and hugs!
