Jason A. Wallace

Jason Wallace, age 52, of Mount Gilead, Ohio, passed away on Friday, January 9, 2026, surrounded by his family—holding his hand and sharing their favorite memories.

Jason was born in Shelby, Ohio, and built a life rooted in love, curiosity, and unwavering devotion to his family. He was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, and a cherished son. Above all else, Jason loved his family. In his free time, he could be found spending time with them or gazing at the night sky, searching for planets and galaxies. His passion for astronomy reflected his sense of wonder and adventurous spirit.

Jason was kind, sweet, and always up for an adventure. You could always hear him proudly talking about his daughters and grandchildren—the love he had for them was unwavering. He was the rock that held his family together, a constant source of strength, support, and love.

Jason is survived by his wife, Christy L. Wallace; his daughters, Christy A. Wallace, Brittany (Jared) Robinson, and Melissa (Cameron) Hoffman; his mother, Linda Wallace; his sister, Jewell Lynn Wallace; and his beloved grandchildren, Brayli Williams, Bryla Williams, Malia Robinson, Jayda Robinson, Camille Hoffman, and Rudy Hoffman.

He was preceded in death by his father, David P. Wallace; his sister, Tamar Wallace; and his brothers, David “Boe” Wallace, Nathan Wallace, and Jeremy Wallace.

Jason made it clear he never wanted a funeral. In honoring his wishes, a celebration of life will be held at the astronomy club at a later date. Details will be shared when available.

Forever our guiding star, forever our dad and papa.
