I am still saddened at the loss of Jason. I did not know him long, but he was an extraordinary person. He helped me with the loss of my son with kindness, compassion, and always with that gentle & caring smile of his. I would have liked to have had the opportunity to know him as a friend. He will be greatly missed!

I had the privledge of working with Jason at Davenport, who was one of the kindest and sweetest people I know. I will truly miss his sunny smile as he always took time out of his busy schedule to say "Hi" to me.
Though gone in form, his spirit lives on!!!
Jason is "Heaven Bound"
