Jason J. Hardaway-Bruce

Thank you so much for being a wonderful friend and for opening up the world of dance to me. I will never forget all the fun and wonderful dances we had. There will never be another "Dancin' Till Sunrise" without you. David and I were blessed to not only get to know the man you were, but more importantly the man you were becoming. You were a man with great dreams, full of hope and possibilities. I will love you always and miss you forever. Untill we dance again......

I can't say I knew "the black butterfly" well but I did know Hardaway from TSTC with the gold diamond smile.

As you look down and see these declarations of love from everyone know that you will be missed.

Jason you made an impact on me and so many others in the community. It was a blessing to see you in the west coast world, and trying to help bring swing out and west coast together in your own way for growth. I thank GOD for bringing you across my path and into my life. There needs to be more like you. You'll always be with us.

Jason and family there are no words that can truly express the sorrow nor emptiness felt in our hearts. From one instructor to another we have lost another one of God's Teachers. We are all here for a purpose and though we all felt u were not here long enough, God knows that your assignment has been successfully completed! But those that you have instructed well will allow your name and style to live on. I can only hope that I have made the same impact on the world when my time comes. I will...
