Jason and I worked together for a local Chinese caterer when we were both at Portsmouth High School. He was a great friend to me back then, and I remember thinking he was the coolest guy I knew. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in your time of loss.

Spruce Family-
It is very difficult to find just the right words to say. Please know that my heart aches for your family in the losses that you have endured. You are very special people and even though Derek and Jason have both been taken from you so young, they were very fortunate to have had the love of their family in their lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Kathy,
I can't begin to express my sorrow for you and Nikko. Your names were always on Jason's lips. He talked about the two of you often and I hope that brings you some comfort; it was so obvious the two of you were his joy.
Jason had a good heart and always had a smile to share @ work (B.Fields).
May God carry you in the coming days.
