Jason Hamilton Obituary

HAMILTON, Jason Scott

1974 - 2025

Jason, age 51, passed suddenly at home the evening of November 25, 2025. Jay was a gentle giant (6'6" 300 pounds) who loved animals, computers and most people. On childhood vacations, he preferred a day at Gatorland to one at a Disney park. He was not a fan of school, but incredibly intelligent. In his early 20's, he held key technical positions with computer giants in Atlanta. This was his first exposure to international travel and he loved it. He was also an incredible carpenter who did excellent finishing work. His last act of love was his organ donor status. His thoughtfulness will help 30 or more people live better lives. Left to mourn him are his parents; his sister; and his long-time companion. There will be a private service at a later date. The family appreciates privacy during these trying times. As a tribute to Jay, please consider contacting the LifeLink Foundation to become an organ donor.
