Jason Trzeciak Obituary
Jason Trzeciak, age 49, passed unexpectedly on Nov. 11, 2020, at Strong Hospital in Rochester.
He was born in Canandaigua on March 29, 1971, and was the son of Thaddeus and Sharon Trzeciak of Naples.
Jason graduated from Naples High School and attended the Albany School of Pharmacy before deciding on a simpler lifestyle working as a landscaper before developing a talent for business. Always looking for the better way, he eventually found himself in the position of chief operating officer at the Vertus Charter School in Rochester, as well as assisting two other computer orientated companies with their operational needs.
Jason is survived by his father, Thaddeus Trzeciak; stepmother, Rebecca Trzeciak; sister, Joy (Joe) Callaghan; their children, Bryce, Sage and Eliza Callaghan; three stepbrothers, Matthew, Zachary and Kevin Desrosiers; Margaret Fulford by guardianship, whom he considered his daughter; longtime love, Maggie Coalson; his extended family; and the Vertus family.
Jason will always be remembered for his love of skateboarding, mountain biking, gardening and of course Myrtle, his faithful companion. Having a love for craft beers, philosophy, politics and science, Jason found himself surrounded by many like-minded friends.
Jason followed the Buddhist path with a kind heart. At his request, there will be no service at this time. There will be a celebration of life when those who care can safely come together.
Anyone wishing to remember Jason in a special way may make a gift in his memory to the Vertus Charter School at www.vertusschool.org\donate.

Treesap, I was in an Italian restaurant last week and It's the End of the World was playing, in Italian, and I thought of you. Hugs to you and your friends and family!

Anyone who knew Jason knew that he was a smart, kind, creative, capable, and persevering person. His ability to connect with others - and his giving nature - made him a special force in the lives of many lucky people. Jason and I met 24-years ago in Naples, NY and our relationship grew from friends to coworkers to bandmates and, for the last 16-years, partners and parents. I couldn't possibly convey the amazingness he brought to my life with his patience, insight, sense of humor, and ever-enduring love. On this saddiversary, and every other day, I hope each one of us can fill the gap created by his loss with the love we still feel for him. You are so missed and loved, Jaybird.

Jason was that neighbor who always made you feel welcomed and willing to lend a helping hand. My condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. He will truly be missed by anyone who had the pleasure of meeting him.

I first met Jason shortly after he moved into our neighborhood (Illinois St). It was Christmas Day and the first time I attended a bottle share at his place. That night, I got to know a few of my neighbors a little better and would frequently share a beer or three on Jason’s famous Purple Porch with Jason and Myrtle, and often, a couple of those wonderful neighbors. I have lots of great memories chatting, biking, and listening to Jason’s wise beyond his years insight.
I still can’t believe he’s gone, but I will hold on to the memories and smile whenever I think of him.

Well, the neighborhood will be a little less welcoming and friendly. Always wonderful to stop and chat with him over the sound of Myrtle barking at my dogs. He will be missed.

Jason and I shared a love for art and although we weren’t close friends I always had mad respect for Jason. He sought his passions in life and had a kind heart and love for humanity. He’s surely missed. To his loving family and friends I’m sending you all my love and comfort during this time of mourning. Jason’s spirit will live on in those lives he touched. ❤❤❤
Light and love,

Jason was truly a special human.
To me he was a close friend, mentor, neighbor and co-gardener. Jason was always fun to be around and it always came with great conversation. Jason was always there for me and helped me in so may different ways. I am sure many can say the same – he always was able to see the best in everyone. I am going to miss our deep discussions over a pint on the purple porch and the many craft beer adventures we went on.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.

To Jason's family and friends - my sincere and loving condolences. I was lucky enough to meet Jason 9 years ago when he hired me to be his accounts receivable clerk at Axzo Press. I was nervous about my first "real job" in an office setting. Jason made me feel at ease right away - his goofy yet nurturing nature soon had me excited for work, because it meant I would get to see my friend. I continued working with Jason over the course of the next 9 years at 3 different jobs. We worked well together. I considered him one of my very best friends. Losing him feels surreal. I grieve with all of you over the loss of a most extraordinary being. Rest well my friend. You are so loved and missed.

I met Jason at pharmacy college and he remained one of my best friends through life. We shared many beers and adventures, we philosophized, pontificated, argued, and even found time to play some kickball. He introduced me to different ideas and music, he had a profound impact on my life. I'll miss him dearly.

Mr. Trzeciak, Joy, Margaret, and other family and friends, I am so sorry for your (our) loss. I developed a friendship with Jason ("Treesap") in pharmacy school. He opened my eyes to a different point of view and exposed me to many new experiences. My life is richer for having crossed paths with him. So many good things can be said about Jason. While I wish he could have lived a longer life, he robustly lived the life he was given. Seize the day.
