Jason Archambault Obituary

Jason Alexander Archambault Granted His Angel Wings LOWELL Jason Alexander Archambault, 26, born in Dorchester on March 16, 1981 was "granted his angel wings" on February 1, 2008, following a lifelong illness. His final day was spent surrounded by family and friends that Jason had touched in some small way throughout his short, yet memorable life. Jason's life would seem short to many; but those who were touched by him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. His gentle smile could melt the hearts of those around him, and though he never spoke a word, his voice and thoughts could always be heard. Although Jason's illness made him appear frail, he possessed strength, perseverance, and an ability to overcome incredible odds and physical challenges. With his courage he led us to believe that each day is a blessing and an opportunity to create lasting memories. He enjoyed being talked to, and loved watching his TV, and loved all of his stuffed animals, especially his stuffed "Bright flower" he so enjoyed. With Jason's passing we remind others that life is one to be celebrated. Although we will miss him everyday, especially his winning smile, He will remain in our hearts forever. Through his teachings about life, we were able to create wonderful memories and it has been a privilege to be his Mother. Jason leaves behind many wonderful caregivers that provided love and support that enhanced his quality of life. Jason's love extends to his nurses... Kim Harding-Paone, Kellye Wasberg, Marjorie Dromagoole, James Perloff, Janice Medor, Eleanor Spinazzola, and the late Beverly Greenhalgh. There is a special place in our hearts for Jason's best friend "Dr. Lars Lundgren" because of his continual dedication, love and support, Jason was able to survive some of the toughest medical challenges. He will be dearly missed by all his special caregivers at Seacoast Health care, especially Beth. He will also be dearly missed by Centrus Home Care, Northeast Clinical Services, Excel Home care, who provided Jason with love and dignity in his life and also in his death. Jason is survived by his loving Mother, Brenda Archambault-Marchese and beloved Step-Father, Gaetano Marchese, Father, Rene C. Archambault: His Brothers, Christopher Archambault, Jared Archambault, Guy Corey and Anthony Marchese; Sisters, Samantha Marchese, Jessica and Kassie Archambault. He was predeceased by his twin Brother, Justin J. Archambault- March 16, 1981. Grandmothers: Teresa Chisholm and Concetta Marchese both of Lowell, Ma and Maryellen Gourdeau of Hudson, NH. Uncles and Aunts; Michael and Judi Soucier of Merrimack, NH, Richard and Theresa Soucier of North Chelmsford, David and Deborah Gourdeau and Laura Gourdeau of Hudson, NH, Nancy Papa Georgiou of Nashua, NH. Neal and Diane Archambault of Methuen,Bill and Doris Bruner of Lawrence,. and Nancy Kilcrease of Ocala Florida, David and Angela Coumo, Manny and Sue Marchese both of Derry, NH, and many cousins who loved him dearly. ARCHAMBAULT Jason Alexander, 26 of Lowell. At the family's request, there will be no calling hours. Relatives and friends are invited to his Funeral Mass to be celebrated at 11:30 AM on Wednesday February 6, 2008 in St. Michael Church. Burial in St. Joseph Cemetery. In Lieu of flowers, donations in Jason's memory may be made to St. Jude's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105. For directions or condolences, visit www.mckennaouellette.com

Jason,
I just wanted to tell you I love you so much and I miss you dearly. I wrote a poem about you so here it goes..


Truly a miracle
This boy is
Never lost hope
A miracle is him

His hope fought for 26 years
His hope proved them all wrong
His hope defines that he is a miracle
And he struggled for 26 years

Many times, he saw the hope in his Mother's eyes
Many times, he pulled through
Many times did he prove them wrong
And defined the word hope

Until one February day
God gave him a rest
He was quite tired
After 26 years of hope


Brenda- I love you so much. I hope you like it.

Jason:

I had no idea what an impact you had made on so many people until the end. You are without a doubt an angel.

I suppose I could write chapters in an attempt to assuage my guilt for not being there for you but I fear that it would be pointless.

So I will sum it up breiefly and beautifully in the words of the Apostle Matthew in Chapter 3 verse 17 "This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased".

Love Always & Forever

Dad

Dear Family, for you are family to me. I met you as a new nurse for Jason but, with each day I became your family and you mine. The glue keeping us together was and is Jason. Words fail me as I sit here with tears streaming down my cheeks. When I close my eyes Jason sends me his "Crinkle" and I smile in thanks for the "post card from heaven". Jason touched my life in so many ways, he taught me how to love people with disabilities w/out fear. He taught me that a smile truly can light up your day, he taught me to take joy in the little things and to live in the moment. I could go on for days with this list. I give you all my heartfelt thanks for allowing me to share Jason with you all as family. It has been my joy to care for Jason as well as an honor. I've said it before and plan on saying it forever, I love you and again thank-you!
My B/R is your B/R xo, lol

Rene & Family I was crushed to hear about your loss please dont hesitate if you need anything

February 9, 2008

Brenda,Tom and Chris, I know that this is a difficult time and somedays are going to be unbearable, while somedays Jason will bring a smile to your face.
Somedays will be cloudly, although
the sun is shining bright
and somedays the sun will shine bright even though the clouds blanket the sky.
Somedays getting out of bed will be the hardest thing you do
and somedays not getting out of bed
will be the hardest thing you do.
At the end of each day you will know that Jason was there the whole
day through. He knows his love will
help patch the road, so that you can travel through to bring to a place where peace and love will enbrace you and carry you through to the next steps in your lives.
I Jason has to be chatting to this
brother and telling him just how bless he was and he is pointing out
his mother for all of heaven to see
for no one could have been more loving, caring,intelligent (you needed that for the medical decisions) or committed then you have been Brenda and Jason is sharing it all now. You now have another ray of sunshine, lighting up your path in life and a second angel to watch over you and your family. Know that although, silent
I am with you in process and an ear is always available. Lots of prays and love.

Jason, I have been your big brother close to 27 years. Growing up I always knew It was my job to protect you the best I could and as a big brother should.I lost track of how many fights I was in in your name, ( and never lost one, lol )I told you I would be there til the end. For whatever reason God chose to take you from us now and I guess thats the way it goes. I miss you more than you will ever know. I will always be with you wherever you go, If you need me I'll be right here. I love you Jason.
Your Big Brother

Brenda and family,
My heartfelt condolences are with you all. I loved Jason and have never had the pleasure of meeting him. I knew him through you, Brenda, he will forever be in my heart and in my prayers. I have another angel looking over all my loved ones. Everyone's life is so much richer for having known Jason. Go play young man in your playground in heaven. There you will be free from pain and able to do what you were not able to do here on this earth. Sit in Jesus' lap and hug him for all of us still living here. You will be loved and missed always. Pray for us now angel Jason.
Brenda we love you and never forget that!
Diane and Nicole Lamprey and family

Jason is home with Jesus

I just met Jason in October of 2007, His Mom Brenda is my sons nurse and A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND. When I met Jason I FEEL IN LOVE WITH HIM RIGHT AWAY. He had such an impact on me and I felt as if I knew him all my life. When I found out of his passing my heart ached in pain. It hit so close to home because my Noah is so much like Jason.
Brenda & Jason has become "family" to Me and I Feel SO BLESSED to have Met him . He will always & forever be in my heart... "our Hearts".
Jason was Truely A real angel here on earth with no angel wings and now God called him home and Now he has his wings....So Fly BEAUTIFUL BOY... Fly like you never could before... You are free, You can play.
You will never be forgotten and A hallow Place within my heart you will ALWAYS STAY.
Until we meet again... All My Love, Jen Trudel & Family.

I don't know you or Jason, but after reading this in today's paper I wish that I had the honor to know Jason. He sounds like a remarkable person. He is with his heavenly father watching over all of you who took such good care of him for his short life. God bless all his loved ones.
