To the McClay family:
Jason only passed by in my life but a moment when he was helping out in the store I work at, just long enough to say hi. My heart is heavy that a young life is taken too soon. I understand that he always helped others and I hope you find comfort knowing that you raised a caring, loving individual. He may not be here in our world but I do believe that his spirit will always be with all of you and watching and helping from beyond.I wish you peace and strength in this difficult time.

Dear Margie, Jim, Bruce, & all brothers & sisters,
Monica and I would like to express our deepest sympathies. Margie & Jim, I had the pleasure to be introduced to Jason many years ago, while watching his brothers Pat and Dan play hockey. He was a terrific guy, positive and full of good will and humor. Margie, I know how fiercely you love your kids, all of them, and although there's nothing I can say at this moment that can touch the depth of emotions you must be feeling, know that both Monica and I are praying for you, the rest of the family, and of course, Jason.
Peace & Love,

My heartfelt condolences to The McClay and Reiley Families. While I haven't seen Jason in years, I vividly recall his shining smile, warm personality, and overall kindness with great regard. Even in 7th grade at Haverford Middle School, Jason stood out as a kind soul, always friendly and ready to help anyone needing a hand. I will carry this memory in my heart, and my prayers to all of you that you find strength, courage, and the ability to heal in time. What a privilege to know such a hero. Our hearts go out to you.

Jason, I am so glad that I had the honor and privilege to meet and know you. I enjoyed your smile and conversation when you came in work. It won't be the same without seeing you or your smile everyday. Our hockey talks, you lighting up talking about Olivia or just about life in general. I saw and spoke with you Thursday and never thought it would be the last time. I will miss you. You were one of the best!! Rest in peace and look over your family!! You will never be forgotten!!!
