JASON MICHAEL HOUSTON

Jason, we both have been very blessed to have experienced the special bond between a Nephew and an Aunt. We always had interesting talks, tons of laughs, seasons of Chiefs' games enjoying them from the comfort of our homes, eating different types of food as we cheered our team on! You are a very intelligent, genuine, kind & compassionate individual. You also exhibit a terrific & "off the wall" sense of humor, which we both share...scary right?! Your spirit will never leave everyone who loves you so very much. This is a gift that is priceless! I'm blessed to have you within my journey & honored to call you my Nephew, but especially a beautiful friend! I will love you, always & forever.

This song comforted me when my mom died. Even tho sad. Prayers to Jason's family, I know the heartache you are feeling now seems so very consuming but it does ease up., He is in the loving arms of Jesus now.

I'm so going to miss ur grin and that laugh. Was an honor knowing you and becoming family. Will always miss seeing you play the drums with Mike. RIP Jason. We love u

Rest In Peace Jason. The way you always thought "out of the box" is something I will never forget. Praying for the healing of family and friends left behind.

I knew Jason from Subway. He was my evening shift worker. Shortly after I had hired him I knew he would work out perfect. Not only did he exhibit awesome work ethic I could tell he had a tender heart. We seen each other 5 days a week for several years. Our work relationship developed into a friendship. He was always comfortable to be around. There was not a statement, opinion or situation that Jason did not open his mind up to. We spent many hours during slow times talking about the things no one else would care to talk about. I would tease him at times when we were supposed to be cleaning that he is bad for my work ethic, cause I would rather have just enjoyed his company than be working. There are a few people I would like to mention. His aunt in whom he lived with, his family and buds he played music with, his little sister Brook, and his best friend Misty. He appreciated his Aunt very much for all that she had been doing for him. Drumming was a big part of his life and he enjoyed talking to me about some gigs he had done. Jason absolutely with out a doubt loved his little sister. He was always was excited to see her, I know because he would tell me all about it. His best friend was like half of his life force. I could tell he had a very special friend in her. I always tried to make room on the schedule so he could go down for the weekend to be with his bestie. Jason was a lover at heart. Maybe a little awnry at times, but who isn't? It may have been several years since we worked together, but we have always stayed in contact. I still have the trinket and teddy bear he gifted for my daughters baby shower, and that was 8 years ago. I regret not having been around in most recent months. I know he surrounded by those that loved him. That brings me peace, so thank you to all that have helped a great person thru a hard journey.

A very nice and respectful young man. We truly enjoyed your company when you were around, always smiling! May you rest in Peace my Friend!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

You are greatly missed Jason. I'll always remember you as that wise old soul with a comforting word, an ear ready for a long chat and a good song to listen to. I'll see you again one day, rest easy my dear friend.

My brother was one of the strongest people i have ever met, he was the worlds greatest big brother anyone could ever ask for. He was always there for me, always looked after me, always made sure i was okay. I know although he isnt here by my side anymore, he will continue to watch over me every single day. He used to go watch my dance performances, my horse shows, he would do anything to support me. I am forever thankful that jason is my brother, i couldnt ask for anyone better. I know he is up there telling all of us not to cry, and that his free spirit is finally free. Fly high brother, I love you endlessly. I will always hold my head high, and "Rock On" like you always told me. "rock on lil sis!" i will rock on and keep my head held high. Love You to the moon and the stars.

Love Always,
Lil Sis

Prayers of healing for family and friends left behind. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. God will carry you through this.

I met you only a few times when I was with your aunt tammy and uncle bill, you were always so sweet and easy to talk to, many people will miss and love you forever. ...til we meet again ...❤ Pam

Dear Uncle Jason,
I have one of the best memories from when I was a little girl and you tossed my brand new barbie fishing pole into the lake, right after I said "don't let it go into the water". So confident you replied "I won't" as you cast the line into the water the pole followed, in matter of seconds we watched it sink like the Titanic. As you said "I'm not going in after it" I cried even more. Twelve years later you made it up to me by buying a brand new barbie fishing pole for a graduation gift, but this isn't the only gift you have gave me, you have given me the gift of knowledge and looking outside the box. I Miss you and love you.

Gone too soon but I know you are in a better place. I will never forget your awesome totally green car from inside to out. Have many memories of going crazy places! Rest well.

Jason, you will always have a place in my heart. I'm so glad you're no longer in pain, but not having you by my side is heartbreaking, to say the least. I will always love you, babe. I'll see you in the strawberry fields someday, then we can be together forever. <3

When we first met you would come over to visit danielle. For 4 years you walked passed my large stuffed animal collection, then one day when you came in you noticed the cat was moving. You freaked out thinking a stuffed animal came to life. You made me laugh so hard I almost peed myself. To this day I tell many people this story. All had a good laugh. Our energy's forever. Joni.

R.I.P Uncle J, Its amazing to know you earned the title uncle for just being a big part of my life! Strong love and may you truffle shuffle from the other side.

J-fizzle! Rest in awesomeness my good friend! All i cam say is "goonies never die!" and were garbage pail kids forever!

Jason I will always think of our drives to Columbia to see my sister and mom and trying to beat the sun on the drive home talking about everything we could music , shows, and laughing at our own stupid jokes watch out for the turkey I love you forever and always my friend

Jason I will miss you everyday. I will miss the morning text, your laughter, your smile, your deep thoughts and your debates. There is so many things I will miss about you.I love you very much. All the years we spent together and all the memories we have shared will be with me always and forever. Until we meet again bestie. I love you!!!

The heavens have gained another angel today. Jason I remember everything we did growing up. I remember staying up all night watching Friday fright night and the twilight zone. I remember telling you ghost storys. I remember the day you and I built bike ramps and I wiped out trying to do everything you could do. I remember your magic tricks and how you made me laugh. Your a real fighter. I'm so happy your no longer suffering. Thank you for being part of my childhood. Jason Houston keep drumming brother

R.I.P. Jason Houston you were taken too young. At least you're not in pain anymore. I know you will keep an eye on and protect Jen and Tori and the rest of the family. We'll all miss you buddy.

Rest in peace Jason Houston. From neighbor to friend, from partners in crime to following different paths, I always thought kindly of you. My fondest memory is when we were dodging paintballs in the snow, in the parking lot, that were coming from a second story apt. Window. You are an "old", creative soul taken from us too soon. I am blessed to have had you touch my life, even for a little while-Sharyn Tabuah

I remember hangin with you with daniele, lisa, audrey. Crazy....Rest well man.

RIP Jason! I will think of you often my friend. Whether it is a song playing...when I pick up a cold beer...a phrase you may have said...or just the brilliant colors in the sky like we used to sit and watch and talk. I will miss you but am thankful that your suffering is over. I love you! Janet Ruona

The weekend I stayed with Jason Houston memorial day and crashed on a four wheeler. These hands r for you my friend!!! Always and forever!! See u in heaven or wherever we go. Shaun Seeger-Johnson

Aunt Tammy Loves you....I was on my way to see you Sunday....I wanted to Hug you and tell you I loved you.... But I didn't make it before you went to Heaven.... .... But I know you are Strong & Healthy now.... you are Home

We didn't get to hang out a whole lot Jason Houston. But, those brief moments I had with you, your dad ,and uncle Kenny, will never be replicated. RIP brother. Richie Scott

Jason, hey buddy. It was a rainy day here but I drove home from work under a beautifully painted sky, which I KNOW you had a hand in creating! Bravo!! Looking forward to hanging out with you again up there when my work is done down here! With lots of love and a thankful heart, your old friend, Chad

Jason,...I think back to a sunny day when we were kids catching crawdads in a creek.. Not a care in the world (except for a big ol snake)..But Robert saved us from him...I think of all the times spent causing some sort of trouble.. Outside adventures..And then life happened.. We grew up and all seemed to go our own ways.. And then I think of a phone call a few years ago when we laughed about those childhood memories.. And shared all the things life had brought our way... The ups n downs.. The good and the bad.. God alone understands why you had to leave us so soon.. I'm so thankful I got to spend the time with you I did during your last bit of time here on Earth and I hope you know how very much I love you. Rest easy cousin..

No more pain will you endure, you've gone to a far better place, I'm sure. RIP Hugs and prayers for the family you left behind.

I will miss you buddy. Thanks for the memories!

Only met you once. Your an awesome guy. Thanks for being there for my cousin. May you R.I.P

Jason, I have so many fond memories of you from our school days, from junior high all the way through high school. You were my fellow Beatlemaniac and one of a handful of friends who chose to socialize with my shy and ackward self. Music and the love of all things weird was the foundation of our friendship. I loved to just talk with you. After years of being out of touch, we managed to reconnect on facebook. We started right where we had left off years ago! Like no time had passed at all! We will meet again someday, I'm sure of it! Rest easy...I love you buddy!

I didn't know how to say goodbye...nor could I believe I had to...so I didn't. I hope you remember when I wrote on your bedroom wall:Auntie Rommie Loves you and always will, always remember this. I hope you know I do love you&I will miss you dearly. I am so sorry you had to endure so much pain, I hope your in a better place now. Love you always Auntie Roomie

I didn't know how to say goodbye, nor could I believe I had to...so I didn't.
I hope you remember when I wrote on your bedroom wall: Auntie Roomie loves you & always will, guess what its still true. I am sorry you had to endure all you did,I only hope you are in a better place now. Love you for always AR

Jason, my beloved cousin and my beautiful boy: there is so much that is tragic about losing you; the pain so complex. I have grieved for you since your diagnosis, and will grieve for you in the coming weeks, months and years. I will miss your brilliant philosophies on life and our poetry collaborations. I will miss the way you lived uninhibited, without worry of outside inferences. I will miss your art and amazing musical aptitude. More than anything, I will miss the connection we had and the way we understood one another. Thank you for always being there for me, if only as a shoulder to cry on. I hold close to my heart the poem that was always so special to only us: "...Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should." -from 'Deserita' by Max Ehrman
I love you, cousin. See you on the other side.

May God's loving kindness and comfort help you and your family through this very sad time Psalms 29:11
