Obituary
Send FlowersNew York, His Second City
Jason Douglas Oswald had moved to New York only in June. But he and the woman he was seeing, Nancy Prentis, also a fresh arrival from the Midwest, were already consummate New Yorkers.
They ran at dusk in Central Park. They frequented the public tennis courts beneath the George Washington Bridge.
And they spent hours moving the broken- in Ford Explorer he had brought from Chicago, just to keep up with maddening parking rules. Apparently, said Jane Oswald, Mr. Oswald's mother, "you can't have a job and a car in New York because you have to keep going to move your car."
Her 28-year-old son was not thinking that far ahead in June when he quit his job in Chicago and drove east, ending up in Manhattan. All he knew was that he wanted to be with Ms. Prentis. The job would come later, he told his mother from somewhere on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. When he finally landed an accounting job in August at Cantor Fitzgerald, on the 101st floor of 1 World Trade Center, the Explorer was parked at a friend's home.
The S.U.V. got some exercise before Labor Day, when Mr. Oswald took Ms. Prentis to Merrill, Wis., to meet his parents. After Mr. Oswald's disappearance on Sept. 11, Ms. Prentis and her parents made the trip one last time from the big city to attend memorial services for Mr. Oswald and return the Explorer.

I worked with Jason at PwC Chicago from 1998 to 2000. He was such a nice, considerate, friendly guy. I think of him every September. He made the world better than he found it.

I will always remember. Jason's memory brought 9/11 to the people in our area. I hold Jane in my heart.

I remember Jason and his sister from our days on the youth swim team. I was 10 years old and Jason was 1 or 2 years older. He was always kind and was a hard worker even at that young age. Jason and Jennifer were welcoming and friendly to all. Many summer days I can remember riding my bike with my brother to Jason's house and playing video games or swimming.
Jason's parents were also friendly to all the kids and parents in the neighborhood. We attended different high schools but both...

I grew up with Jason in The Woodlands and we ended up going to our Senior Prom together as friends. He was such a smart, kind, and generous person. I remember being in classes with him and looking back now realizing he was very witty for his age. I have wonderful and fond memories of this sweet boy. I think of Jason on this day and his birthday every year as it's one day after mine. I will never forget the friendship that we shared. May God give him eternal rest and the Oswald family...

I grew up in The Woodlands, TX with Jason. I learned of Jason's death shortly after 9-11. My memories of him are filled with images of his smile and acts of kindness. Jason embodied the characteristics that Christ would want each of us to show each other. When I think of the tragedy of 9-11--I know that Jason's life is one example of the tremendous loss that happened that day. All the family and friends of everyone who lost someone have suffered much sorrow. Please know that we all remember...

Ken and Jane,
I think of Jason often and the wonderful memories of watching our sons play YMCA sports as children growing up in the Woodlands.
My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
