Jason Frederick Sheets of Frankton completed his earthly journey on March 17, 2025, at IU University Hospital; he was 41 years old. Jason was born on November 10, 1983, in Elwood, Indiana, to Monty Sheets and Kimberly Humphrey. He graduated from Bedford High School in Bedford, Indiana, and was currently working as a forklift operator for Corteva Agriscience.
From an early age, Jason made one thing very clear: he was going to live life to the fullest. The very embodiment of "seize the day," he put his heart and soul into everything he did, and he had many interests. Jason was an avid outdoorsman, and he never missed a chance to hunt or fish, practice his archery, or shoot a round of golf. Music was another passion; Jason loved playing his guitars and attending concerts, and you would find the works of Skynyrd, Metallica, and Slayer, on his ideal playlist. Other hobbies included watching UFC, listening to podcasts, or grilling a thick steak, but his favorite pastime was playing the odds in fantasy football leagues. What truly set Jason apart, however, was his sheer positivity. Known as "Smiley" to many of his loved ones, his warmth and irrepressible happiness were felt by everyone around him, and they will miss his spirit dearly.
Jason is survived by his mother and step-father, Kimberly and Brian Humphrey; father, Monty Sheets; sisters, Amber and Montana Sheets; brother, Bracken Sheets; grandparents, Pat and Ronnie Lawson; nephews, Cameron and Triston Sheets; multiple uncles, aunts, and cousins; and his loving partner, Ashley Duncan, and her children.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Brandon Sheets; grandparents, Walter and Anita Sheets and Linda Lawson; aunt, Ronna Lawson; and uncle, Chris Sheets.
Jason's care has been entrusted to Dunnichay Funeral Home of Elwood, Indiana, and his family's wishes were for him to be cremated. A memorial service in his honor will take place at a later date.
