Hi Yvonne & Tom. I have thought about you guys so many times. I hope all is well with you both. Sincerely Neil Weber.

Dear Tom, Yvonne and Robyn,
Although I did not know Jason, he sounds like he was the most incredible son and human being, already so accomplished and so full of promise. There are no words to adequately express the sorrow of losing a child far too early. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your tragic loss.
Also know that you are not alone. I too lost a child too young; my beautiful boy Justin was just 6 when he died in August 2009. I have found the greatest solace in talking and listening to other bereaved parents through the organization Compassionate Friends. Who else can understand the unbearable pain and yet offer some hope for survival? Take care of yourselves. So many people are thinking of you and Jason. Jason will live on forever through the tremendous love of your family, friends and all the people whose lives he has obviously touched so greatly.

Dear Yvonne and Tom,
We received the shocking news yesterday when we returned home from vacation. Words cannot express how deeply sorry we are for the loss of your beloved son, Jason. We can only imagine how much you must be hurting and hope that somehow, with the help of family and friends, you find courage and strength to keep going on.

Uncle Tom, Aunt Yvonne and Robbie,
I still can't believe it. I didn't get to see him very often or get to know him as well as I would have liked, but I knew that he was an incredible human being and I am blessed to call him my cousin. I love you Jay. Going to miss you.

Dear Tom, Yvonne and Robbie,
No words can express how deeply saddened our family is by this tragic loss. How I wish the tears we shed could somehow bring him back. Jason was an absolutely incredible young man. The eulogies at the service were a beautiful tribute to his life. He will remain an inspiration to many, including his little cousins. We love you and our thoughts are with you. Jason will forever remain a part of us.

Dear Tom, Yvonne and Robyn,
Although Jason and I were not close friends, I always thought highly of him and knew him to be one of the more genuine people that I had the pleasure of meeting. We are all deeply saddened that a young and promising life was taken away from us, way before his time. I only hope that the love and support that you've been receiving will help your family through this difficult time.
My deepest sympathies

Dear Tom, Yvonne and Robyn,
There are no words that will take away the sorrow you are feeling but we wanted to let you know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Jason was always very polite and always took the time to say hello, a true testament to how he was raised. He will be sorely missed by many as was evident at the service yesterday. He touched many lives and will forever be remembered.
With sympathy,

Dear Ochiai family,
Our deepest condolences on the loss of your son. We met Jason through boxing classes, and he eventually became a regular at our after-boxing parties. He was an outstanding person, so personable and outgoing, so polite and considerate. He will be missed by all who knew him. May you find comfort and strength in this darkest of hours.

To Robyn and the Ochiai family,
My sincerest condolences on your loss. Jason was a wonderful student and I am grateful for having had the pleasure of teaching him. I will miss his visits to the office, listening to where life had taken him since he left Abbott.
Based on remarkable number of people present at his service, I am happy to see he touched so many lives, including my own.
My sincerest condolences on your loss.

Although just meeting Jason once he looked like such a wonderful guy full of happiness. While the loss of a loved one is never easy, even when anticipated, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon. Your recent loss of your son who has left us at such a youthful age is certainly in the category of those hard losses for which there is so painful a reminder of what might have been.
I want to offer my sincere condolence and deepest sympathy on your loss. May the outpouring of sympathy, the kind acts of friends and strangers and the comfort in knowing that your loss is felt by many, help you through this difficult time.

Dear Ochiai Family,
I have known Jason only a short while through boxing classes. From the very beginning, it was very apparent that Jason possessed uncommon human qualities. He etched a lasting impression in my mind and on many others, I am certain. I later discovered that my brother’s family knew Jason through swimming. Joon Man, Cindy, Michael and Steph are equally saddened by the unfair loss. Please accept our sincere condolences.

Tom, Yvonne and Robyn:
The Ni family expresses our sympathy and condolences to the untimely passing of Jason Ochiai. To us, this is perhaps the saddest event a family can ever endure.
“That is Jason Ochiai!”, Alexander, the older son of our family, would always point out to us at every summer swim event of the Fairview Pool. So Alexander (and our whole family) has always been inspired from Jason as a star swimmer for Fairview. Of course, we later learned Tom, the starter for every swim meet - sometimes missed shots, but always there -, as the father Ochiai. We also noticed that this tradition is followed by another strong swimmer Robyn, who is the sister of Jason.
The news last Sunday was unbelievable to us, since we saw Jason checking in at the DDO pool late Friday afternoon.
This is indeed a sad event for the whole community.
The Ni family – Alexander, William, Betty and Feng

A great man, so young.
A great coach, so young.
A great student, so young.
Blazing new trails, so young.
So much ahead, so young.
Without any fear, so young.
An empty spot in my lane, so young.
Still see his smile, so young.
Jason is training the “Big Guy” now.

Yvonne, Tom and Robyn,
I had the wonderful opportunity and pleasure to work with Jason. We sat just a few feet away from each other and while he labored away at the piles of time sheets in front of him, we did find the time to share some good hearty laughs, talks and lots of Kit Kats. Although just a teen at the time plugging away at his summer job, I was amazed at his wisdom and kind spirit.
We offer our sincere condolence and deepest sympathy on your loss. We hope that you find comfort and happiness in knowing that your beloved son and brother has touched the lives and hearts of so many.
May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence and in knowing that his was a life well-lived.
Most sincerely,
Denise Lalonde and Family
