Following Nursing School graduation from Cayuga Community College in 2011, he was employed as a Registered Nurse with Upstate Hospital at Community General. Jason couldn't do enough for people, was a talented cook who always created dishes for all gatherings. He was an enthusiastic fan of the Buffalo Bills since childhood, attending numerous games in Orchard Park with family and friends. He also enjoyed working out to stay in shape. Jason was a true family man, and dog whisperer. Whether it was a friend, patient or animal, they were attracted to his calm and inviting demeaner.
He is survived by his mother, Cynthia Forish Czubat; stepson, Jae Simo; sister, Amy Jo Kaufman; niece, Rachel Kaufman; nephew, Josef Kaufman; good friends: Michael Gauthier and Mike "Hokey" Volpe; his two k9 babies, Ray and Layla; as well as his mother's dog, Oliver Twist.
In addition to his father, Jason was recently predeceased by his loving wife, Renee (Licata) Forish on November 12, 2024; and his maternal grandparents, Charles and Florence Matijas.
Friends are invited to join the family for a Funeral Mass to be offered at 12 Noon, Monday, December 2, 2024 in St. Mary's Church. Calling hours will be conducted in the church prior to mass, from 10 to 11:45 a.m. Jason would appreciate if visitors chose to wear Buffalo Bills attire.
