Patty, Brandi, Marlin, Travis, and all,

My thoughts are with you. Most of my childhood is filled with memories of Jason. From the playground at Lyman, to our long days around the neighborhood, in the woods, in the creek, to our high school days. I hadn't thought about some of them in a long time, but they are flooding back to me. It has been several years since we have seen each other...but it makes it no easier. He will be remembered by many as a great, kind, and unique person. I hope you find comfort as a family during this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss.

I haven't known Jason for twenty years, but he was my brother when we were young. We played together often and it's not possible for me to think of that time without thinking of Jason's laughing face. I'm so sad to hear he's gone. Patti and Brandi, you'll be in my thoughts always, as Jason will be. I'm just so happy that I had him there in that time and in that place. Roger and out good buddy.
