Thinking of Jason and his whole family at this time. Xo

Your tragic story has touched me deeply. I pray for Jason, little Brad and all their loved ones left behind. May God give you strength and peace to endure the loss of your precious ones. You are in the prayers of many. May this knowledge sustain you and help heal your broken hearts. God Bless You!

To Jason's mum, dad and brother
Please know that as time goes by I still think of Jason often and remember with fondness. I can never know exactly what you are going through and I'm guessing even as time goes by the pain is still raw and inescapable. I'm so sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourselves. Hopefully the pain will ease in time and you will find a way to thrive again.

To all Jason's family,

All Jason's friends in Wales send their deepest condolences and sympathies to all family and friends who have been touched by these most tragic of events. He was one of those fantastic guys who pulled everybody along with him. He will be sorely missed. O'r Calon Jason Bach. Greg Williams

To Jason's family,
I went to Carleton University with Jason and was also involved in sports. I will always remember him as happy, enthusiastic and energetic. He always made time for everyone, hanging around to chat. I am heartbroken for your loss, and hope you can find comfort in the hundreds of people who have shared their memories on these pages. He will be missed by all.

To Jason's loved ones. I had the pleasure of teaching with Jason at TSS for many years. His smile, enthusiasm and genuine warmth will always be remembered. He was my friend and I will always treasure the times and laughs we shared. Your loss is a tragedy and I will be thinking of you.

Dear Mr.& Mrs. Lees, Bill, Cynthia and Family,

I grew up in Pebble Court, where we had the pleasure of having Jason work as a lifeguard for many years. I also knew Jason from RHS. He was one of the most outgoing, charming, caring, funny, genuine people that I have ever met. He would go out of his way for others and would give anyone the shirt (or in my sisters case - the surfboard) off his back. I was (and still am) devastated to learn of his tragic passing and also that of little Brad's. I will always remember Jason as the wonderful man that I came to know and love. He is someone very special to me and I feel honoured to have known him and been able to spend time with him. I hope that knowing how special Jason was to others around the world, even those whose lives he touched so briefly, brings your family some comfort at this heartbreaking time. Sending all of you love and hugs. xo

My thoughts and prayers are with all the Lees Family, hold onto all those cherished memories of both Jason and Brad, you may never know or fully understand why this happened, but in time the pain will slowly heal. I didn't know Jason or Brad but I know exactly what you are all going through as our family has suffered like yours. Sending all my love and strength to you all.

Dear Lees Family,
I went to school with Billy but live in Brisbane now. Although I didn't know Jason I wanted to pass on my heartfelt condolences to the family for your loss. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

To all who loved and knew Jason and Brad,
There is something about this tragedy that has touched the humanity in us all. Those of us who did not know you before now carry you in our hearts. Jason's obvious ability to reach and respond to other human beings now reaches back to you 100 fold. We carry you forward in our prayers and pray that time may give you strength to move forward for yourselves. Little Brad will be honoured in this household every day as I hold my son of the same age a little closer. We wish all of you peace.

Dear Lees Family
Your loss of your beloved son Jason and darling grandson, Brad, has touched my heart. May happy memories comfort you in the days ahead.
Sincerly,
Greta Horton, Ontario

Dear Sally,

I am so sorry for your tragic loss. Jason was a very special person. It was a privilege to call him a friend. I will always have very fond memories of the last time i saw Jason. Meeting little Brad at my house at Straddie when you visited in December was very special. As always Jason was so happy and he looked like the proudest dad. He wore his Sens shirt to give me a smile. Our hearts go out to you and your family.

To the Lees Family. I cannot begin to imagine the depth of your sadness. I worked with Jason at TSS and loved his passion, humor and dedication. I saw him in December and he was with Brad. So happy and full of energy. I pray that they are at peace and in each others arms with God. May you find peace also. He was a wonderful man and teacher. My prayers are with you all.

To the Lees family in Canada. I did not know Jason and Brad but feel their loss deep in my heart - a beautiful, talented young man loved by all and a gorgeous little boy. They are together resting in peace. Stay strong during this difficult time. Blessings to all.

RIP Jason and Brad

Jason, Whilst I only spoke to you a few times in passing at school, the lasting image of your smile and the obviously positive interactions you had with the boys will remain in my mind forever. You were the teacher I had hoped would one day teach my son and guide him through another part of his Churchie journey. My son had noticed you were sad this year and, like me, feels very sad about what has happened. We hope you have found some peace from the pain. And we hope your family gains comfort from knowing there are so many who will remember you for what you gave to life and the people whose lives you touched along the way.
Anne

RIP

Lees Family, Thinking of you over the next few days and years to come of the sudden loss of your son Jason and grandson Brad.

Our deepest sympathy and thoughts are with you through this tragedy.

To The Lee's family We send all our love just so tragic for such a great teacher It has really touched our hearts .May Jason rest in Peace along side little Brad.

Pam

Dear Jason and little Brad
May you rest in peace - together forever.

Raushen (Brisbane)

Your sadness is in my heart. I cry for you all when I think about the hopelessness you all feel. My only hope is that he is their looking after his little boy watching over you all hoping one day you will understand.

Jason, you were the most respected teacher, role model and mentor that my son has ever had. Our family is constantly reminded of your wisdom, advice and positive encouragement to 'be your best'. You are the person my son most wants to be like. I am forever grateful to you for believing in my son and teaching him to believe in himself. His life changing year with you will never be forgotten. You are a true hero, Jason for the wonderful positive influence you have had on our next generation of men. Every boy deserves a year with Mr Lees. We were one of lucky families who had that year. We are deeply saddened by your passing and will never forget the amazing influence you have had on the young men in your class. May you rest in peace. May your family experience some peace knowing that you are highly respected and much loved. The Churchie community is in mourning....

Rest in peace. Such a shocking and tragic end. I do send my sympathy and condolences to all family and close friends of Jason and Brad.

We wish that Jason had touched our heart on the rugby field rather than by your tragic loss. We hope your family find comfort in they love they shared with you and you beautiful son. Our thoughts are with you. Jamie, Jack, Harry and Mel.

Jason you and Brad will always be together for all time now, no one can part you, we will miss you both but will meet up down the long road of time.

I am happy to say Jason was a mate and still is. From when he moved over to Australia and played at the mighty Redbacks to catching up with a few weeks back. Rest is peace mate.

Of all the teachers we have met, you had the greatest impact on our sons education. You will always be remembered as an enthusiastic, committed teacher who was truly passionate about you did and getting the best out of the boys. You gave my son a rugby rule book to study. He loved learning those rules. We will always treasure it and remember you for your gentle manner and warm smile. Rest in peace Mr Lees.

CHARLIE,SALLY AND BILLY IT WAS WITH THE MOST PROFOUND SADNESS AND SHOCK WHEN I READ OF JASON'S PASSING. AS U KNOW JASON PLAYED HOCKEY WITH OUR SON DAREN, AND MY GREATEST AND FONDEST MEMORY OF JASON WAS; IF THEY WON BY 1 GOAL OR 10 GOALS, JASON HAD THE SAME REACTION A GREAT SMILE AND A READY LAUGH, EVER BETTER IF THEY LOST BY I GOAL OR BY TEN HE STLL HAD THAT GREAT SMILE AND READY LAUGH.
I HAVE READ ALL OF THE MESSAGES OF COMFORT ON THESE PAGES, SENT FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD WHICH DESCRIBE JASON AS THE MAN HE HAD BECOME LOVING, CONCERNED, STRONG, KIND AND I COULD GO ON AND ON. THE POINT IS THAT U CHARLIE AND SALLY RAISED THIS CHILD TO BECOME THE MAN IS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE REMEMBERED BY ALL AS SUCH.

HEARTFELT SYMPATHY--RON AND VIRGINIA

When reminiscing bout the times gone by there is always a constant presence, Jason. You were one of those people that wore their heart on their sleeve, your enthusiasm for everything you did was so infectious. It was impossible not to get caught up in the moment as you created a yet another cherished memory. I am incredibly lucky to have known and to have spent so much time with you in London, those were the best days of my life. Jason you had an amazing effect on everyone you came into contact with. . . you will be missed but definitely not forgotten . . . until we meet again!

Sally and Charlie, We are keeping you close in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

To The Lees Family In Canada, and Danielle in Australia,
Thinking of you this week with the loss of your beautiful little man, Brad. I wish you much strength, courage and hope for the future.
I met Jason many times, but never really knew him, may he rest in peace.

I like others who have written here have been so saddened by the passing of Jason and Brad even though I did not know them personally. Every day since the tragedy I have felt sad with tears filling my eyes with every thought. Whilst I havent said anything 'special' or 'different' here I just wanted to say how much this has affected me and to pass on my sincerest thoughts to the Lees family at this dark hour.
Rest in Peace forever together.

Mr and Mrs. Lees and Billy,
My condolences to you and your family. The number of friends, teachers, and parents that arrived today to say farewell is a true testament to Jason ever reaching touch. His accomplishments were great, and we are all very proud of him. He will always be in our hearts.

Dear the lees family in canada, i did not know your son or brad, but when i heard the news last week i cried and i've been following the news & been crying everyday since it feels like i knew them. I have been mourning with you. Sending you my deepest heart felt condolences from australia. Every night i have been saying prayers to my two year old twin daughters and we say may you watch over little brad & his daddy in heavon. I have tears again as i write this.

Mrs and Mrs Lees and extended family, I am so sorry for your loss. I went to university with Jason in Brisbane and played rugby with him. We continued our friendship, through the love of rugby and often caught up at a local rugby club after a game. I saw Jason and his family recently and am glad I will have that as my final memory of him - happy - with his wife and beautiful little boy. Those that had the pleasure of knowing him well will remember him as a positive, loving, kind hearted person, funny and so full of life. Your son and your Grandson Brad made the world a better place. God Bless them both.

Dear Charlie,Sally and family,
Our deepest sympathy Sonny, Sally and family. You are in your K.A.S. friends thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Sending heartfelt condolences to the Lees family. Jason will be remembered as the great person that he always was, warm, kind, funny, caring. As Pebble Courters, my children had a lot of contact with him growing up. We are all devastated by your loss...Please know that like everyone who met him, we know what an incredible man you raised, and our hearts go out to you.

Thoughts and prayers to the Lees family, Jason will be so missed in the Churchie Community, he was a wonderful person and teacher.

I grew up with Jason in Southkeys and have so many fond memories from those days. We parted ways through high school as I decided not to go to Ridgemont, but a chance encounter at the Loblaws years later brought us back together. I huge aussie accented "DUANE" and a welcoming hug let me know that his friendship never wavered.

Being witness to the hundreds of people that showed at Jason's and Bradley's memorial today lends credence to the positive impact they had on so many of our lives. It also speaks volumes about how respected his family is. Mr and Mrs Lees, Billy and family, thank you for allowing us to remember with you. I hope the outpouring of love, prayers and support that so many of us have offered helps ease the pain. I hope my attendance today shows Jason that my friendship never wavered either.

My sincere condolences at the loss of your son, Jason and grandson, Brad. I know Jason since the 5th grade at Dunlop School. I will remember him for the wonderful person he was and that amazing smile. He will be missed. Rest in peace Jason and Brad.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Lees family. I went to school with Jason from grade 3 through to the end of high school and will always remember him for the wonderful person he was. His million dollar smile will be missed. I am sorry I could not be at the memorial service today, I really wanted to go to show my support, but you are all in my heart today. Vyann Mombourquette(Perry)

Charlie, Sally, Bill, Cynthia, Madison and Ryan, May your family's closeness and love for one another give you strength and comfort as you say good bye to Jason today. We have wonderful memories of Jason's visit with us on the Rideau. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Bob, Dawna, Lee, Brad and Katie

Dear Charlie,Sally and family We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your son Jason and Grandson Brad.Our Prayers are with You.Butch&Louise Panama City Beach Florida

Just looking a picture of Jason, I can hear his infectious laugh. Which says a lot about Jason since I have not seen him or heard that laugh since we went to grade school together. My sincere condolences at the loss of such a wonderful person.

Dear Charlie, Sally, Billy, Cynthia and Family, We are heartily sorry to hear of the passing of your son, Jason and little grandson, Brad. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Tony and Gwen, Kashwakamak Lake

Dearest Mr and Mrs Lees and Billy and family,
My heart has been aching since I heard of this horrible tradgedy. I knew Jason through Billy but also through the gang at Ridgemont and his time playing Rugby with my brother and the Bytown Blues. I can only picture his smile and laughter when I think back to those days. My prayers and thoughts are with you all! I pray that Jason and little Brad are at peace. Jason will not be forgotten.

Please accept our sincere condolences for the loss of your son Jason and grandson Brad. We met Jason numerous times through our daughter Kerri-Ann and truly enjoyed his company and the Rugby stories he regailed us with. When we knew he was in Toronto either playing a game vs. Beach or visiting Kerri, or up at the cottage in Cloyne, we would always expect a knock on the door or a visit on the dock and his big, warm smile to greet us. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Sincerely, Phil and Yvonne Redwood, Toronto & Cloyne(Lake Shawenagog), Ontario.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to the Lees family. I never knew Jason or little Brad, though I have been so saddened by this tradgedy that I feel I always have.

May Jason and Brad rest in peace.

Mr lees will remain in many young men's hearts and respected and admired for his zest for life and fantastic smile that lit their every day at school and on the sporting fields of Churchie. We are all privileged to have known him. Tomorrow we pay tribute to a wonderful man. As a cricket coach to our son you were inspirational and a perfect mentor. We will never forget you Jason .

Mr & Mrs Lees,
What an amazing and inspiring son you brought up. Jason was my son's rugby coach last year and his teacher this year for a short two weeks but I cannot tell you the impact that Jason had on him in such a short time. My son and the rest of our family miss him terribly but want you to know his spirit will always live on with us.

The Pearson Family, Brisbane

Sally and Charlie, you are in our hearts and prayers.Know that your friends and neighbours share in your grieve. our thoughts are with you and your family.

Somehow the sweetest memories shine through the sadness. Jason, you are truly missed. Love and prayers to the whole family.

Iam so sorry for your loss. Jason was an amazing man and father.Words can never express the sadness I feel for his passing. My Mum and Brother and I have you close to our hearts xoxox
It was a pleasure to have know Jason from a child to an adult...He truly will be missed

brad lee little darling you were way to young ,xx

Dear Sally, Charlie & Bill: Our thoughts & prayers are with you during this very sad & difficult time. Know that words can't ease your pain but just want you to know that although we can't be with you in person, we are with you in spirit at this time.
Dave & Karen McCall, Lake Kashwakamak & Florida

To the Lees family,

Words cannot express my sadness. I grew up with Jay at Alta Vista and Ridgemont and he was always a great person to be around. Always laughing and joking and his smile will be one I will remember. Jason touched base with me a few years ago filling me in on his accomplishments. He was very proud and happy. I was happy for him that he made such an impact in a new country. Few people could achieve in a lifetime what he had in his.

We spent many nights in high school with the guys doing typical teenager stuff. Listening to Guns 'n' Roses, playing ball hockey and hanging out. Those memories I will always cherish and Jason will always have a fond place in my heart.

To Brad and Jason, rest in peace and may time heal your family and deliver peace to them.

Neill Graves

our thoughts and prayers are with charlie,sally and family.

My condolences go out to the Lees family. I meet Jason in Brisbane Australia 2009 while I was doing my teaching degree at University of Queensland and was doing some refereeing. Right away Jason made me feel welcome and was very kind. I will always cherish Jason's passion for life and all of the great advice he gave me. He was a great mentor and close friend that helped me get through happy and hard times in Australia. I will greatly miss him and remember him in my heart forever. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family Jason. May you and Bradley rest in peace.

We hope just knowing that we care will comfort you somehow .Cathy&Ernie Hollister

Mr and Mrs. Lees
Jack and I send to you our sincere condolences. Words cannot express the sorrow we feel. We will miss Jason's smile.
Jack and Lynn Ruff (John and Steven Ruff's parents)

Sally, Charlie, Billy and the rest of the Lees family,
I cannot put to paper the words I feel in my heart for Jason and Brad. I met Jay 20 years ago when he bounded up the steps into a Keg party I was hosting while at Carleton. He asked me if I wanted him to keep me company at the front door. It was in that first hour of knowing Jay that I knew we'd be life long friends. I absolutley adored Jason and everything he stood for. There is no other like Jay - his kindness, compassion and his ability to make you feel that no one else matters when he talks to you, is something you can feel proud of. His smile was infectious and his laugh would melt any sadness away. The love we all feel for him is a testament to how well you raised him and how good a life you provided him. I will miss him deeply and think of he and baby Brad often. My sincere condolances, Kerri-Ann Redwood (Carleton Place via Toronto, Balmy Beach Rugby Club supporter and Cloyne Cottager on Lake Shawenagog)

May Jason and Brad rest in peace in the arms of God.
Bless those who knew and loved them.

Mr & Mrs Lees my condolences goes to your family on the heart wrenching passing of Jason and baby Brad. I've been mourning since I've read this news through the medias. I know their pictures will provoke many happy memories.
May Jason rest in peace and baby Brad embrace by angels in heaven.

Dear Mr. And Mrs. Lees and Bill,

I am so sorry for the tragic loss of Jason and Bradley. Jason was a very dear friend of mine and we had stayed in touch from our Ridgemont days. I last saw Jason when he came to Victoria in the summer of 2010 to meet with Rugby Canada about his nomination for refereeing. I was so proud of him and all of his accomplishments. We grabbed a latte and walked Ogden Pointe and caught up. I am sorry that I am unable to attend the memorial service tomorrow but I will be grabbing a latte and retracing that beautiful walk that I took with my friend and saying good bye that way. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathies. I remember fondly our Ridgemont and Carleton days and seeing Jason last year in HK.

Sally, Charlie and Bill,

We have wonderful, long lasting memories of Jason growing up in South Keys...at our Pebble Court pool, playing golf with Gerry and always looking out for our daughter, Paula. Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you

The Lees Family,

I knew Jason from South Keys. He was a wonderful person and had a great smile. I am so very sorry for your loss. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Celine (Giroux) Downer

May God bless and protect the Lees Family at this time of unimaginable grief. Thinking of and praying for you.

A wonderful man who brought happiness to many young men who will remember Mr Lees with respect.

Please accept our most sincere condolences for the passing of Jason and Brad - may they rest in peace together. The Churchie family collectively grieves with your family as one.

Charlie, Sally and Bill, words cannot express my sympathies to you upon hearing of Jason and Brad's passing. My parents and I have many fond memories of Jason from our Dunlop days, from the simplest of walking to school with Jason and Billy each day, to playing sports and being wonderful friends. Jason and Brad are in my thoughts and I pray that they are at peace. They will be missed by many but forgotten by none.

Maxim will forever miss your smile and words of wisdom
We miss you mate
MAY YOUR SOUL BE AT PEACE
GOD BLESS

Maxim will forever miss your smile and words of wisdom

Dearest Mr & Mrs Lees,
I would like to offer you my sincerest sympathy on the passing of your outstanding son, Jason. He was my son Charlie's year 5 teacher at Churchie last year. Charlie thought the world of Jason as did all the boys in the class. He was kind, happy, funny, a passionate educator and always so organised & energetic. Most of all he had a fabulous sense of humor which totally appealed to his class of 10 year old boys. He will never be forgotten by the 2011 yr 5 class at Churchie Prep.
I can not imagine your grief. It must be overwhelming. I too have lost a son & all I can say is that the hole in your heart will never be filled but life goes on.
Please know that Jason was a much admired and loved member of our school community.
Mrs Lees you stayed in my unit at North Stradbroke Island in December. I hope you have some lovely memories of your time together with Jason & Brad at the beach.
I will be thinking of you tomorrow & I will think of Jason always.
Yours sincerely
Sarah Chandler

You were talented and decent and I'm proud to say you were my friend. I will never forget you Jas. I wish my tears could bring you back.

To Jason's loved ones. My heart was with you all in Canada today as I sat in church farewelling your gorgeous grandson. I taught with Jason at TSS for many years, he was my 'buddy' teacher and you couldn't have got a better buddy! He also taught my son and took him on tour to New Zealand! He was a person that I had so much trust in! He had so much to give and gave so much to all! Your loss is such a tragedy and I wish all family members peace ahead! His smile will always be fondly remembered!

My deepest sympathies to the families and friends of Jason and Brad. I will always remember the very best of each of them. Jason and Brad will be dearly missed.

My deepest condolences to the Lees family. I first met Jason by chance in Melbourne at RWC 2003. Later I had the good fortune to return and work with him at TSS and then referee with him in Calgary. I will always remember him for his generosity, his talent, and his enthusiasm. Jason was truly a great person and a great friend. Both he and Brad will be dearly missed.

R.I.P

My sincerest condolences to the Lees family. I knew Jason from Ridgemont High School and Carleton. We had not spoken in years but reconnected through Facebook and I was so grateful to be in touch with him again. I recall the beautiful pictures he posted of himself and baby Brad. I will always remember his laugh and his smile. Jason, may you now rest peacefully with Brad. You will be missed but not forgotten.

Charles and Sally, our deepest sympathies and prayers for you and your family at this tragic time. Our 11-year old son was fortunate enough to be taught by Jason last year and it is a year none of us in this family will forget. It was not just the boys who were able to form such a wonderful bond with Jason but the parents too. We have all lost an incredible human being, and the grieving and bucketloads of tears are not going to go away easily. Our son is a better person for having being taught by yours, and we pray that Jason's legacy will live on through those that he has met and taught.

Our heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with the Lees family. My son was privileged to have Jason as his Year 5 teacher last year at Churchie. Jason was an exceptional teacher...a teacher all the boys hoped to have. He not only taught the boys their schoolwork, he taught them about "life". He taught them how to be gentleman, he taught them self respect and to respect others. He brought out the best in them every single day. His smile and enthusiasm in the classroom was infectious. My son and I met little Brad a number of times. Jason's eyes would light up as he bounced Brad in his arms. They will be remembered with so much dignity and respect. May Jason and Brad rest in peace together forever. Love, the Russell Family (Brisbane)

Sally & Charlie,
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Words cannot express how we feel for you and your family. Take heart that your friends in the Cloyne area think of you daily and are here when you need us.

My deepest condolences to the Lees family. Jason was an amazing person, friend and mentor. Growing up with him as our community pool life guard has left me with so many precious childhood memories. You never come to realize the impact that someone has had on your life until they are no longer here. Jason will always be remembered, loved and missed.

Our family was lucky enough to have spent the last twelve months having Jason as our son's role model. I have known him for four yeas. My eleven year old boy and I have cried every single day since his tragic passing. I type this now with tears filling my eyes. Jason knows I told him many times, he was our role model. Jason was quite simply the best teacher we have ever experienced. He cared deeply for our son in our own moments of distress. As a father I struggle every day with loosing Jason. We loved so much his quirky fun filled methods. We smiled every day with Jason. My son is a better boy because of Jason. The highest responsibility anyone in the community has is that of a teacher. Jason was a teacher and father with outstanding talents and special abilities. He is far more than sorely and deeply missed. Reconciling their loss is extremely painful.

Although I was only your neighbour, Jason and baby Brad you bought me so many happy moments just hearing you chat, play and laugh together and now the silence is just unbearable.
To your loving parents and your family members I wish to express my deepest sympathies and know in your hearts that I share your sadness.
May Jason and baby Brad R.I.P. You will be so sadly missed. xxxx
Marlene Stephens.

Sally and Charles, Jason taught our son in 2011 and he was a beautiful man. He had a special bond with his class and they loved him. His influence will live on through the boys who he helped shape into young men with values, pride in their appearance and a keen love of life. We cannot think what could have lead to this tragedy but I hope it helps you to know how special he was to our family and to the school community. We will always remember him with fondness. The Baird Family (Brisbane, Australia)

Words cannot express how this tragic event has affected everyone who knew Jason... I had spent time with Jason in the UAE on several refereeing trips and also in New Zealand, meeting his family Danielle & Brad. Our deepst sympathies and our prayers are with you all.
Kia Kaha (stay strong) Roger Drew (Auckland Rugby Referees association, New Zealand)

My deepest sympathies to the Lees family...I met Jason in grade 9 at Ridgemont and he immediatley made me feel welcome. I'll never forget his smile.

My sincere sympathy to the Lees family. I met Jason in Dubai at the 7's in 2009 and we became great friends. I will never forget that infectious smile. He was a great guy and I will miss him very much. I was proud to be called one of his friends. Today at church I prayed that he and Brad will find eternal rest.

With sincere sympathy. Jason was a friend of our daugher, Sharon and was often at our home...a wonderful young man...our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you on the loss of your son and grandson.
