Jason is missed! He had a very kind heart and always tried to help people whenever he could. He definitely helped me in hard times and became a good friend. Gone but not forgotten. Love you Jason hope you are at peace.

I remember thinking how sad it must have been for Jason's family when this happened. Now that I have also lost a daughter, I know how horribly sad it is and still haven't figured it all out. I'm sure your hearts are still broken. Hugs and prayers for all who are grieving Jason's loss.

Jason was a great friend. He was always laughing and joking around. That's how I'll remember him. Rest In Peace man. The world is darker without you bro.

Mr. Colson & Mrs. Roffal,
I am so sorry to hear about Jason. He was a good kid and I know we will all miss him dearly. If you need ANYTHING no matter how small all you have to do is call. You guys have always treated me like family, and I think of you all as my extended family. So please know I am here for you! I hope Christy and the boys are handling this tragedy as well as one could expect. I love you guys and you are in my prayers.

Mr. Colson, I only met you once. I am Bethany's mother. She stayed with you and Jason in Bealeton for a short time in 2005. My prayers are with you and your family at this time of loss. Jason's passing is a true tragedy, and I know he will be missed. No parent should have to endure such a tragic loss. May God bless you and your family.
