Our middle of the night walks to Valley Dairy will always be ours. I remember you as always being the guy who was allergic to everything and when you sneezed, I have never laughed so hard. You did have the best sneezes! I will always cherish your Grandma May becoming my Grandma May as well. What a spunky lady! I expect you to be there when it's my turn and greet me with your smile and your Hellooo!! Miss you buddy Buddah!

Jason was a most genuine soul. He was a true friend, lifting others with his unique sense of humor, positivity, and upbeat demeanor. His infectious laugh will live on in the minds and hearts of all who met him, his students and friends. I miss him dearly. Peace and love to his family, you should be so proud of the man Jason was. I am proud to have known him.
