Jason,
I often have dreams of you, being that you were such a big part of my life, but last night was especailly vivid and it woke me. I realized that one year ago today is when I found out about your passing. You are missed by so many. I continue to pray for your family. God bless you all.

Jason,
Although we had only known each other for a couple of years, I felt like we had gone back ages. I lost contact with you when you moved to Fla., and I regret finding out now about your passing. I had always looked forward to running into you once again and reminiscing on old times. I looked up to you and admired your laid back way of life. I think you showed us all how not to sweat the small things in life. My deepest sympathy goes out to your family during this holiday season and the hopes that you were with them in spirit. You will be missed greatly.
Sincerely, Mike

To all of you that love J-
I want you all to know that you've made all of the difference to me in dealing with J's death. This has been such an overwhelmingly heavy thing to deal with and I've not totally accepted it yet but the support you have given me and my family has picked us up in the saddest of times. You are all extremely important to us. Jason left something of himself behind in all of his friends, thank you for keeping his spirit alive. I look forward to seeing you all again.
love, Nate (Bro)

Jay-
I thought that over time my heart would mend, but when i think of you it breaks all over again. Never in a million years did I think that May would be the last time that I would see you. Every day I think of you and cry. Then, I realize that you wouldn't want tears or sorrow, but smiles and joy. You lived your life smile by smile and day by day. You are my inspiration and my friend and I miss you more than words could ever explain. I love you and miss you and can't wait to see you again. Take care of Grandpa for us and try to keep him smiling!
All my love,
Ashley Dukeshire

To further honor Jason's memory, there will be a memorial service at the Bogey Inn on Glick road in Dublin, OH. It's set to begin around 5-ish. Please bring pictures, fond memories and be sure to wear a smile, thats what Jason would want us all to do. He was a person that celebrated life and lived it to the fullest. He wouldn't want sad faces or tears. It is important to smile when we think of him, to keep his memory alive. I know that everytime I think of him, I can't help but smile or giggle to myself over something outrageous that he did or some witty remark that came flying out of his mouth. I would like to thank him for all the laughter that he brought us and all the memories that I have to cherish. He will live forever in my heart. Everytime I hear the Grateful Dead I think of Jay and the day gets a little bit brighter. Nothing will ever make my heart stop aching over the loss of a truly unique person that had so much to offer the world.
All my love, your cousin

Jason,
I know you that you are no longer with us however I have a hard time accepting this. You were a close friend always, and at a time, my best. We had lost touch in the recent years but I want you to know you never were far from my thoughts. You always had an infectious way of making myself and the people around you happy and full of laughter. You would always tell me to “ lighten up, gezz, come on, it’s no big deal”. You had a way of keeping life simple and fun when I attempted to make it difficult. I have so many great memories of you as a friend that I will never forget. You always took care of those close to you, me included. What ever they needed you gave and that is what made you so special. My thoughts are with your family, fiancée and friends. You are missed and never forgotten. Your friend always- Mark
Back in the Day!

Over the past couple of weeks...talking to Jen, Meggin, and Kristen. We have been looking back at our late teen and early twenties. Every night when all the guys were at our house...all the good times and funny stories each of had to share about Jason and how great of a time it was for all of us. Jay...Thanks for the memories...we will miss you! My thoughts and prayers go to the Endsley Family. He will be sadly missed.

Jason -
Everyone already knows you have a big heart, smile, laugh & glasses! I'll never forget the time a bunch of us went to a Grateful Dead concert at Buckeye Lake and we left you outside after you bought a fake ticket with my money. Sorry Jay! I always had tons of fun with you! My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends during this difficult time.

It is still hard for me to believe that you are gone. You had such a big heart and always knew how to make me smile. Thank you for being a true friend and being the person you were. The memories we shared will be with me forever.

Endsley family,
Jason called our house last fall during OSU football season to get Scott's (I'm Scott's mom) phone number in Ft. Myers -- he wanted to get in touch with him. I hadn't seen Jason for a few years, so he caught me up with his life in Florida -- we talked about his golf, his engagement to Shanna, how happy he was that his whole family was close by, and of course, the Buckeyes. And, during our conversation, he always burst out with his famous laugh... He and Scott were good buds, and they both even wore those big, old glasses!! Being a parent, my heart absolutely aches for Bill and Kathy -- May Jason rest in peace, with the love of his friends and family.....

It wasn't long ago that I got to see your beautiful smile and give you a hug and tell you that I love you. Now you smile from Heaven and you live in our hearts and memories. I will think of you often and smile as you would have wanted me to. Miss you and love you always.

Very sad to hear about Jason. When I hear his name I can't forget his laugh. It is an unforgetable tune and one that I will never forget. He was always a fun person be around. Just last year at the golf tournament we spent a few hours together catching up on old times. He had me smiling the whole time. Unforgetable personality. My thoughts are with his familiy

Endsley,
I'll always remember hanging out with my big brothers, Scott and Rob, and you always being there smiling your huge smile and making me crack up with laughter. I remember my friends and I had a great time every time we visited you at the Italian Oven back in the day. You were one of my brother's close friends and you were like a big brother to me. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and friends. You will be remembered fondly and missed greatly!

Endsley,
It's still hard to believe you're gone. Over the years you've were everything a true friend is supposed to be...Loyal, challenging, irritating & more than anything a source of some of the most gut-wrenchingly hilarious memories of all time. Halloween at Dayton remains the stuff of legend...I hope I was able to provide some of the same.
You will be remembered fondly.
Bill, Kathy, Nate, Krista & Shanna, please accept my deepest condolences. All of us will work to honor Jay’s memory.

Looking back through old photos from Dublin, Jason is pretty easy to spot: just look for the guy with the biggest smile on his face (and the biggest glasses). I have a lot of good memories from those days. Jason, you're missed. My condolences to the family.

Jason, Family and friends,
Jason you were quite the guy! I can still remember the first day we met in Indian Run Elemetary school.. Mr. Spain's 3rd grade class. How can I forget! It was the first time I was punished for talking in class. We didn't stop until he split us up. We still talked and got in trouble. If we couldn't talk we combined our efforts in making one hell of a rubber cement ball. I loved every minute of it. Through the years we were friends, best friends and even enemies from time to time. The many years we spent after high school were very special to me. How could we have had anymore fun. I can still feel my stomach ache to this day from the laughter we shared. The night before the service, the gang was telling stories about the past. We had to jog our memories for certain details and faces, the best thing about it as we shared these stories again, you where in every one someway and somehow. You made many of us the way we are today by sharing your outlook on life, you always had the funny angle on everything. You will be missed greatly, and speaking for everone else I am sure, you made the memories SO MUCH better. My prayers are with you and the Endsley family. God Bless! I will never forget you!

Jason...there are so many things we would want to say, questions that now seem pointless. But, as we now reflect on the many many good times and laughter we all shared...forgiveness is all that comes to mind. You were and will always be our friend. You will be greatly missed.

We pulled our first shenanigans when we were thirteen and our last when we were thirty. Recalling the seventeen years in between puts a smile on my face, laughter in my belly, and certainly calls into question what we were thinking. You will be missed my friend, Godspeed.
