Jason Stetz Obituary



Jason Aldo Stetz, 37, of Manchester, CT passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 8th surrounded by his loving family.

Jason is survived by his sister, Amy Grover and her husband Jay and niece Hannah of Florida. He is also survived by his niece Brandy Lausier who is currently serving in the U.S Navy. Jason leaves behind his grandfather Aldo Pavan and wife Cathy and his grandmother Ruth Stetz. He was predeceased by his grandmother Valedah Pavan, his grandfather John Stetz, and his stepbrother Patrick Lausier. Jason had many aunts, uncles and cousins who loved him dearly. Jason attended Manchester High School and went on to learn many different trades. He had several mentors who helped him to develop skills in a variety of areas.

I know that words cannot come close to filling the hole that you have in hearts after losing Jason. I wish there was something that could. I'm so glad that I got the chance to reconnect with Jay after all these years. The first time I heard him laugh again, it was the very same laugh I remembered, I can still hear it. He was the same kind & funny kid I used to know & I'm so glad that we got to know each other as "grown-ups", we teased. I'm so sorry for the loss you've suffered. Please know that me & my family are thinking of you all. Jay will forever be in my heart.

I am terribly sorry to hear of Jay's passing. I have known him since elementary school and he was always a kind and loving person to all. I will keep the memories we shared together close to my heart. Although we were not close these past few years he was not far from my thoughts. Regrettably I cannot attend his services. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
