Not sure what to say?

I will miss you greatly Jason. This past year we weren't close at all. Please know I considered you a friend all this time. Deep in my heart I feel we both felt that way despite the different paths we took. I'm so glad I saw you on July4 weekend, although brief, I didn't expect it to be the last time I'd see you. How we 1st met was so funny & I'll cherish that memory & all the others we had & they'll never be forgotten. My prayers & thoughts are w/ you & your family.

I am Jason’s maternal aunt. I remember the day Jason was born; I was 7 years old at the time. Jason was an adorable little boy. Jason learned to swim shortly after he learned to walk. He was a little fish in the water. He loved going to the beach. He was the cutest little blonde toddler. When he was about 3 years old he taught me how to catch lizards. Jason enjoyed playing in the school band. Jason loved animals. My dog Snowball used to go crazy when Jason came over. Jason was a...

Jason is my wife's nephew (Aunt Joey), and I met him at his 17th birthday party. I have so many years worth of wonderful memories of him. He and his mom and sister would stay at our house in Delray Beach when they would come to visit friends/family in south Florida. My wife and kids and I always looked forward to his visits. We used to sit out back and laugh and joke around until late in the night. He was a funny, happy, kind person who openly loved his family and also served his country. ...

Jason is my second cousin I never met. I have heard lots of wonderfull stories from Uncle Sam & Aunt Cathy and His Loving Mom Kim & his little Sister Lizzy, Also I have read this Guest Book all the great things that people said about him I just wish we had met.
May GOD be with all your family.

I knew Jason when he was just a little boy probably around 4 or 5 years of age. He was such a cute boy. He enjoyed riding his bike, fishing, climbing trees, flying kites, swimming, going to the beach. I would say just about everything. He was in cub scouts. He liked just having fun. Summer vacations were fun. His dad, myself (his step-mom), his sister Brandi, his brother Ryan and my brothers family Uncle Jeff, Aunt Jeanne, Jacob, and Jimmy. We would go camping and family reunions. He and us...

One of my fondest memory's of Jason is when I was a nurse at Baptist Hospital and Jason was a transporter. We were on the elevator "catching up" on friends and family, as Jason talked, I watched how sweet and considerate Jason was with his patient. I will always remember, a kind, sweet, gentleman. His kindness will be dearly missed. We love you Kim. You are in our prayers.

My prayers are with the whole family during this sad time.

My heart and prayers go out for the family

My thoughts and prayers go out to all that loved him.

I wrote a post on my blog about Jason as a 13-year old boy in Tyler, Texas, and his impact on my life. http://kateandcarson.com/2008/09/23/final-goodbye-to-a-first/

He will be missed.
