Jason Gau, a cherished husband, devoted father, and beloved friend, left this world on September 21, 2025, at the age of 46 in his hometown of Dayton, Ohio.

Together, they created countless memories, particularly through their travels to places like Florida and Pigeon Forge, where laughter and love knew no limits.
As a proud father, Jason adored his children; Taylor, DJ, Victoria, Faith, Peyton, Khloe, Lilian, Jason II; and two grandsons—pouring every ounce of his heart into their lives. His unwavering support for each one of them was evident in every moment spent together, whether they were exploring new adventures or enjoying the simple pleasures of life at home.
