Not sure what to say?

Jason, I found out about you passing months after it happened. I was devastated and in shock. I am so sorry. I wish I knew and was able to attend your celebration of life. You were one of my best friends and I miss you and always will. I named my oldest son's middle name after your middle name. We had a lot of great times in high school. Every time I hear RUSH I think if you. I don't think I ever saw you mad or say anything negative. You were such a happy, friendly, positive person....

Spring comes with warm days and I always think of you. To ride free from stress and worries is what you loved doing. We miss you like it happened yesterday. Our world will always have a hole in it. It will never be the same. I really wish Liam got to know you Jay and I know David misses you with a physical pain that will never go away. I think of the way you made me laugh and find some comfort there. We see you often in the hawks that frequent our days, thank you for letting us know your...

It is hard to believe that it has been 14 years since you passed. You have not been forgotten, my friend. My thoughts and prayers are still with you and your family. Rest in Peace.

Working with Chris and David in the early to mid-1980's, I only had the opportunity to see Jason a handful of times. However, I vividly remember a smile on his face every one of those times. It inspires me to smile more. My thoughts are with you all.

My thoughts are with you Jason and with your family. I'll always remember him as someone who made me laugh.

To all those who had the privilage of knowing Jason and enjoying his company; There is a hole in the fabric now. One that will take some time to mend. The fabric of the family will help provide support and carry us through these sorrowful times. Only time will allow us to remember all the good times, and with Jason there were many good times! Jason was an easy going, happy to know you kind of guy. To know Jason was to love him.
From our family to yours, He will always be in our hearts....

Vern and family: My most sincere sympathy to you all. I'm sorry I can't be with you at this time.

My prayers go out to your family. Although it has been a couple of years since I last spoke with Jason, I can say he was a dear friend and confidant growing up as kids through college. I could always rely on his support. He was always there when I needed him. He will be greatly missed.

Our thoughts remain with you and your family at this time. We are honored by the trust and confidence you have placed in us during this difficult time.
