He became the City of Plainview's Director of Finance in November of 2024. He was also a member of the local Lion's Club. He had an unparalleled passion for music, appreciating every genre from rock to classical, jazz to country and you could always find him with a playlist that reflected the rhythm of his heart. He celebrated life through sound and brought his friends and family together with the power of song. His cat Mia was a loving companion and Jason has always been a big animal lover. He had an endless love of all arts and his new blooming passion was always looking for the next adventure from fishing, camping, hiking, skiing, taking dance lessons, gardening and spending quality time with his family, and we can't forget the Eagles.
