Not sure what to say?





Hey Big J. I was sitting here quietly thinking about you on this now 13th year of not hearing you play "the Lucille ". In my book you were right up there with Clapton and King. I sure miss watching you play. I hope you know how much you are missed and loved. I send prayers your way all the time and now I ask that you also pray and watch over your dad. Give hugs to Manana, LaLa and Claudette. I love you

To Jason's Dad and Brother, I was just thinking back about the college days at UF and my wife and I were remembering how much fun we had and the great people we met. So we got online to search out Jason to see if we could invite him down for a visit, as he always had a smile and an upbeat contagious attitude, and was one of the greatest people we could remember from the old engineering days. I was stunned to see he has passed, and wished I would have contacted him sooner. However Im greatful for the times we spent together, his smile will be with us forever and we will both remember him forever for his generousity and all around good person. Play that guitar(Lucile) likes its nobody's bussiness my friend.
God Bless you.

Dear Emil:
I was deeply saddened when I learned of Jason's passing. Please accept my sincerest condolences and sympathy during this most difficult time. I'm sorry that I missed the joy of knowing your son over the years that he was with you. I also saw tht Carol had passed and am doubly saddened by that. So many years have gone by since we were at UF and made the trip to California one summer. I remember those days fondly.

Jason was a good friend. We were "thick as thieves" growing up on San Pedro Road... We raced RC cars, built forts, shot bb guns, fished a lot, had water wars and played backyard ball with our older brothers, blew up everything with firecrackers, fried ants with a magnifying glass, smoked our first cigars together, tried to be BMX bikers, and explored every possible inch of the neighborhood. I'll always remember you smiling, friend. I regret not catching up enough as "grown ups" but am thankful for the good times we had. My prayers go out to your kind family.

In Christ,

Jason could really play that "strat"! We always had a lot of fun when we would all get together and play. He was so talented - and such a nice guy. It was "on" when he and Johnny would play together at our many jams. I especially loved the Allman Brothers songs - "over the top". The local muscian crowd will really miss him.
....a great guy.

Jason was the musician that brought out the best in my playing. I will never forget the times we played out. There was a certain way Jason would play that would make every song memorable. It is too hard to accept that he is gone. He was a great friend that was always giving and gracious.

To the Aramoonie family and Kelly,
We are sorry for the great loss of our friend Jason. But please know that through the wonderful compassion and graces of our Lord in Christ that His plans for us surpass all understanding. In all your ways be mindful of Christ and Trust in His plan with all your hearts.
I was very fortunate to know Jason as a musician and had the wonderful pleasure to share the stage with him on many occassions. We will miss him and his zest for music and life.

In Christ,

My sincere and heartfelt condolences to out to the Aramoonie family, Kelly, and Jason's extended family and friends. I called Jason 'my little buddy' when he first started at HP as my colleague. We became instant friends and stayed in touch over the years. Jason was one of the most likeable people I've ever met. A genuine person. He will be missed.

Jason became a part of our extended family so naturally. Our holiday gatherings were always filled with the laughter and light of his wonderful smile. I will always remember Jason sitting at the piano with my young son, Michael, allowing him to "play a duet" with him...And how he bonded with my grandfather over the love of a perfectly tuned guitar. Mark and I feel truly blessed to have had the chance to call him "friend" and "brother".

Jason and I worked together at HP and then later had an opportunity to work with him again through Staples. He had called me not too long ago to play tennis and I was too busy but now I wish I had taken the time. I am so sorry to hear about Jason and still in shock about the news. May God's peace that passes all understanding comfort you during this most difficult time.

Although he will be missed, Jason has bridged the gap between life and eternity. His current thoughts might be, "do not cry for me because this place is the best place to be". Please accept these thoughts in kind memory of Jason.

Words alone can't describe the loss that I, and all who knew and loved Jason, now feel. I owe him more than I would have ever been able to repay him; without Jason's guidance and friendship I would be a lesser man today. For me, to say that Jason Aramoonie was a friend is an honor and also an understatement. He was an example whose equal I have never met.

There might have been 30 years difference in our age, but music erased any kind of generational boundaries. We were kindred spirits, sharing a musical heart and the deep passion to play. You taught me without even knowing you did. I'm sure right now you're stepping to the front of the stage and ripping one of your blistering solos in Heaven's Rock n' Roll Band. You will be missed my brother. Rest in peace.
