Godspeed Jason, and thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

Jason and I became really close friends when we met in the 5th grade at Rolling Hills. I was blessed to have his friendship as we went to school together during the next 4 years. He then went to Central and I went to KR. We were still friends, but didn't really get a chance to hang out during high school. I wanted to share one of the many memories I have of Jason from our childhood. In the 5th and 8th grades we were both fortunate enough to get to go on the Washington DC trips with the...

Just a memory for you -- I happened to be at Jason's high school graduation and the thing that stood out in my mind was first, he stood out, and up, and was smiling at everyone he passed.

May your memories give you peace.

Gone too soon. please be assured that you will see your loved one again. This promise is found in tne 5th chapter of the Gospel John at verses 28 and 29.

Back in the 9th grade, I used to follow the top high school basketball players in the country. Mr. Collier was one of them. When it's all said and done, though, basketball is so small when a person looks at the whole scope of things. I'm sure Jason was a very well rounded person. (Acts 24:15)
