My husband and I were very saddened to hear the news of Jason's passing. We used to live around the corner from Jason and his family. It was evident from seeing Jason with his kids on a regular basis that he was a proud and devoted father. I'm sure many of Jason's wonderful qualities will live on in his children. I hope that all those who knew and loved Jason can take comfort in watching his children grow from the values and love that he instilled in them. Rest in Peace, Jason, and may God bless and watch over your little ones. My prayers are with you all.
