The prayers of my family and myself go out to the friends, family and loved ones of Jason Rutledge, who i nicknamed (Catfish)because of his funny looking mustache when he served with me in Fort Hood and Iraq. Over the years we lost touch but i never forgot how much you meant to me and how much i missed your friendship. Thanks for being a friend and a soldier along side of me in battle. Rest in Peace and God Bless You.

It's amazing how you can lose touch with a childhood family friend and hurt so much when they are gone. You never really realize how much you love someone until you no longer have the chance to to tell them. I can't wait until the new world where we will have an eternity to make up for lost time.I love you.

We remember Jason as the friendly next door neighbor who took pride in himself and his family, especially his children. We always thought of Jason as a good and respectable young man with a great big heart. We remember his easygoing smile and his love for his family. Rest in peace, Jason. Thank you for your service to our country. And thank you for the opportunity, albeit too brief, to have known you, laughed with you, and to have shared in your life. God bless and keep your family.

Cousin Jason I am going to miss you so much. I can't believe that you were taken from us so soon. I am going to miss coming to Dayton kicking it with you cousin. My heart is hurting so bad right now. Only GOD knows when, how, when we are going to leave this earth. One thing I know Cuz is that you are all of the Rutledge's angels. One thing I am so glad about is when we left Cousin Larry's for New Year we Cuz. I never thought that would be the last time I would see you. So Cuz I love you ain't nothing changed. To be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD. I love you Cuz....

Jason, you were the true definition of a GOOD MAN! You were a good father, son, brother, and friend. I thank God for allowing our paths to cross so many years ago. We didnt see each other much in your last days but everytime we'd bump into each other you'd show me nothing but LOVE and I thank you for that. There will never be another soul quite like yours. You left a lasting impression on the lives of so many people and for that, your spirit will live on forever. Rest In Peace my FRIEND!!!
