I was recently reminded of so many memories of Jason. We did Chior and theater in Middle and High School. We also went for breakfast together with a group of friends with the dorm life at UNC. We were both part of the music programs there and would see eachother on the path to and from class. Thank you Jason for being a warm face at UNC. We miss you earthside! Please think and pray for those of us left behind!

Through Jason's involvement in CHS choir and performances, I had the pleasure of getting to know him through his high school years. Some stand out memories... Men in Tights, Just Desserts, musicals, musicals, musicals...and that amazing bass voice! Jason left his legacy at Conifer High School. Our condolences for your loss. The Kimbell family: Graham, Teri, Danielle, Jon & Zachary.

We were so sorry to hear of Jason's passing. My husband Robert and daughter Jenna remember Jason from the Europe choir trip with Conifer High School. I sang with Jason in the adult choir we had for a short time at StageDoor Theatre. What an incredible voice he had. We would run into Jason from time to time in the Denver area, and he was always so warm and friendly. Blessings to your family during this sad time.

Dearest Steve and Char:
My heart goes out to you and your family at this time of enormous grief. I'm sure you remember my mom Vivian, she always loved your family and when she spoke of Jason she always called him a "good kid". She told me that he was always so respectful and kind. I know, in my heart, that she is in heaven with Jason, holding his hand and showing him all of the beauty and glory of his new home. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in all the good memories.
Blessings to you and yours, Tina

Jason was a neighbor in my building. He was always thoughtful, always kind. I never ever saw him without a smile on his face and he always had a warm greeting. He will be so greatly missed.
