Jason's unwavering love defined his existence. He was a loving and devoted father to his four children: Reid, Madeline, Grey, and Caden. He also shared a close bond and was a cherished brother to Andrew Jr. and Jacob Westerhoff. His love for his family and friends knew no bounds, and was steadfast in his loyalty, support, and generosity. Along with being a family man, he was a man of God who practiced his faith and shared it with others.

A man of many passions and talents, Jason had a keen business mind and a love for math, science, and history. He was a 1991 graduate from Bishop McNamara High School and graduated from Olivet Nazarene University with a Bachelor of Business Administration. In his leisure time he enjoyed coaching, playing volleyball and golf, and barbequing. He was often referred to as a "grill master." Jason made friends everywhere he went and would often be found singing and dancing at any social event. Amongst his talents, Jason was a true craftsman. He had remarkable skills with his tools and the ability to build or fix almost anything. He could always be counted on to offer his help and handywork to anyone in need.

Jason is survived by his mother Jane Westerhoff, brothers Andrew Jr. and Jake Westerhoff (Michelle Westerhoff) and his children. He is also survived by his close aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
