Jason Canale Obituary
Born on February 16, 1982 in West Chester, PA, he was the son of Nancy Borst Canale (Rick Cornejo) of Exton, and James Canale (Carol) of Lewistown. Jason graduated from Coatesville Area Senior High School, and went on to work as a Technical Service Manager in the machinery industry. Jason loved football, golf, fishing, and hunting, and especially enjoyed sharing those hobbies with the people close to him. When he was relaxing at home, Jason enjoyed playing video games - especially the newest Madden release. He had a special fondness for snowy winter days. Above all, Jason's true passion was cooking. He loved experimenting in the kitchen, creating his own recipes, and sharing the meals with the people he loved.
Surviving in addition to his parents is his beloved daughter Isabella Canale; his sister Amy Magnotta (Andrew); his nieces Natalie and Audrey; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, January 16, 2026 at 11 AM at James J. Terry Funeral Home, 736 E Lancaster Avenue, Downingtown, PA 19335. Visitation will be from 9:45 – 10:45 AM prior to the service at the funeral home.
