Jason D. Lepera

Wantage - Jason D. Lepera, age 45, passed away on Tuesday, November 5, 2024 at his residence. Born in Westwood, Jason lived in Bergenfield and then Dumont during his early years. He moved to Highland Lakes in February 1994 and graduated from Sussex County Technical High School in 1998. Jason was a dedicated worker and was employed as a haul truck driver at Stavola/ Beaver Run Quarry for the past twenty years.
He loved listening to music; especially his all time favorite bands, The Doors, Beatles and Pink Floyd. Jason had an incredible talent for remastering music albums and would make them sound better. He just finished a project on Saturday and that will be his final masterpiece. He was also a talented sculptor and liked to use his creativity building legos. Jason's biggest passion since high school was to make stop motion movies.
Jason met his loving wife, Corina Lanemann in high school and they became best of friends during that time. They started to date in 2008 and have been married for the past 12 years. He is also survived by his sons, Collin J. Lepera of Port Jervis, New York and Phillip L. Lepera of Wantage; his mother, Sandra O'Keefe of Vernon; his father, Albert Lepera of Unadilla, New York; his brother, Albie Lepera; and his sister, Kelly Velez of Wantage.
