I had the honor and pleasure of being one of Jason's football coach for 5 years at Abingdon High School. "Chief" developed into quite a football player during our time together. Moreover , he developed into a person of great conviction and determination. One who would set standards for many to follow.
I share your pain in his loss. He was like a son to me. Please know that all of you are in my prayers. I'll do my best to get to the graveside service.
Love You All
