I was just thinking about our wild trips and wilder hairs, and the time we went to the mall but I forgot where I parked the van and made you walk the parameter of the parking lot with me looking for it! I don't think I ever laughed harder at the complaints or the mall security cop following us around! Rest easy bro, i will keep rockin out in your honor.

Jason, I didn't know you but I live right in your town. Wish we had met after reading you were a big Misfits fan. I do their guitar work,I assemble Jerry's basses and I would have made sure you met Jerry as he visits here regularly and loves his fans. I'm sorry we didn't, my condolences to your family. Very sad to see this, may you never be forgotten. Bill B in Ogdensburg

Jason, after hearing about your death this world became a lot darker because such a bright light was turned off. My fondest memories of you, from when you were born/playing at Grandma Andre's/watching you play bass in your band/and so so many others, would especially your positive energy every time we got together. Be at peace cousin. With love eternally, J.R.
