Jason A. Colburn
1973-2025
Jason A. Colburn passed away on April 1, 2025, with his mother by his side. Jason was born in Springfield, Vermont on November 5, 1973 to his mother, Nancy Corliss (Guica) and father, Fay Colburn. He spent his early years with his mom, in Cavendish, Vermont, along side his brother, Jeremy, and sister, Melissa, later moving to Ludlow, living with his father, and younger sister, Brittany, attending Black River High School.
Jason was very proud to have been raised part of a very large extended family, with his father being one of twenty and his mother one of eight children. He was fortunate to grow up spending time with his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, at his grandparents' camp on Lake Champlain, and swimming and fishing at many spots in Cavendish and Ludlow with his brother, Jeremy, most often by his side. He loved family dinners, barbecues, holiday and birthday celebrations, and the annual family gathering at Spofford Lake, and was known to brag of his mother's home cooking. Jason loved listening to Waylon Jennings, and we know he would like the idea of being remembered when you hear Waylon.
Most recently, Jason suffered with lyme disease and other conditions that led to a period of declining health and terminal illness. He was cared for by his mother and by close friends in his final days, passing away at home in accordance with his wishes. Jason is survived by his mother, Nancy, father, Fay and his wife, Marsha, sister, Melissa, and her husband, Scott, brother, Jeremy, and his partner, Wanda, sister, Brittany, and her husband, Frances, nieces and nephews, Brandon, Andrea, Charles, Elianna, Noah, and Laney, and extended family members.
The family will hold visiting hours for friends and family to honor Jason at Davis Memorial Chapel in Springfield, Vermont on Saturday, April 12, 2025 from 3-5 PM.

Every single person with lyme shall work in Jason's name to spread awareness of lyme disease and to research and work for a cure. Deepest condolences to all of Jason's family and friends.

I'm saddened to hear that Jason has moved on. Sounds like a wonderful human being; his family and friends will no doubt miss direct contact with him. I truly hope there is an afterlife that will forever nullify his suffering and allow for him to live happily, unburdened from what is an awful illness.

I´m saddened by Jason´s passing. I am a fellow chronic Lyme individual. May his journey help people to wake-up about the serious effects of this disease.
