Jason, its been one year since you left us, and this earth, and it still just doesn't seem possible. I didn't think I'd ever miss that deep, rattling voice when you come into the house and I can here it even in the back, with the TV loud as I usually have it. But I do!
We miss and love you JJ,
Dad

I cannot believe that its already been an entire year since you've been gone. To this day it still doesn't seem real. Its like I still expect to see you or hear from you. I will always remember the last time I saw you and the conversation that we had. I feel fortunate to have seen you on your last night here and I will always remember that. Justin still talks about you too and I know he misses you. Whenever I think about the fact that my brother helped carry your body to its final resting place it makes me so emotional. Its almost symbolic because just like you always had each others backs and carried each other throughout your lives, even in your death he still was there to carry you on just like you would have done for him, too. He was more crushed by your passing than people will ever truly know. We all miss you Jason and we will never ever let you go. You will remain in our hearts for eternity.

Hey Big J..
Today makes one year, one whole year and I still can not believe your gone. It still seems like just yesterday I saw you and you were smiling and laughing as you were picking on me (which I really miss).

I can't believe that its been almost a year since you left us. We all miss you so very much. You have taught us all not to take each other for granted because you never know what may happen. We will all hold on to your memory forever and never let you go. We love you J. Always.

Ok, the website is ready. Go to: http://www.geocities.com/kajun08saints/Memories_of_Jason.html
On that website, they'll have a guest book AND a message board. WHY? Because with the guest book you are limited to how long the entry is. On the message board, it can be as long as you want it. Try it out and see. You have to register to get in (except for the "Notes & Q&A" section)on the message board. But you only need to create a user name, which should be something we can identify its you, and then a valid e-mail address. I will send you an e-mail ([email protected]), with a temporary password to get into the message boards. Once you're in, you can go to profiles to change it.
Any questions and or problems, please e-mail me. [email protected]
You do not however, need anything to get to the website and guestbook. Just the message boards require a registration.
Thanks

Thanks so much for making a website for Jason. That is a great idea! He will never leave my heart and dreams! There's not a day that goes by that he does not cross my mind. Ya'll are always in my prayers! Each day will get better. With much LOVE... Melissa.

To Jasons Family:
I am so glad that you will be setting up a website for him. We all miss Jason so much and in some way I know it will make us still feel connected to him. The fact that he is not here still feels so unreal. He meant so much to us and we are so hurt by his untimely passing. For those of us who may not have a way to reach the family, would you please post the website here so that we may all have access to it. Thank you all and God Bless You. You are in my prayers everyday.

This is to all of Jason's relatives and friends that have been signing this guest book.
We (Jason's Mom, Dad, Sister and Brother), want to thank you all. Reading these has helped us, as we hope it has helped you! I know Jason would be touched! Anyway, this site will be gone on June 11th. But, we’ve built another website, where we can keep this going as long as we would like to. It’s still in its construction stage, but will be ready when this one is gone. Please contact me, or anyone in the family to get the web address to it.
Again, thanks for all the kind words and memories.

Jason, I just wanted to let you know that you are still on all of our minds and our hearts. We will never forget you. We love you J.

It's so hard to try to express my feelings for Jason because it is still so unreal. I feel like I'm going to go out and he's going to come up behind me and scare the hell out of me. I miss him so much. I know that he's up there watching over all of us because that's just the way he was. He was our protector and our friend and I'll never forget him. Happy Birthday, I miss you.

Happy Birthday Jason. We miss you so much and talk about you all the time. Everytime we go out we keep waiting for you to show up. If only that night that we saw you we could have known it would be for the last time. There are so many things we would have said to you and let you know that no matter what we have all been through together, no matter how bad or even how good, we would all be friends for life. We were some of the fortunate ones who got to see you on your last night here on earth. We were all happy and had such a good time. We thank God for that. We will NEVER forget you, Jason. You now live on in all of us who had grown with you and that love you. You are a part of us and our memories of you will never fade. Until we see you again, rest in peace Jason.

Jason, I miss you sooo much. I wish I could have told you what I wanted to tell you for a long time when I had the chance. Me and Shannon went to your grave yesterday for your b-day. It just isn't right. You were a good friend to alot of people and you still are. Why would God want to take such a great person. I wish you could be here to see my first child. I know you will be looking down on all of us. I Love U and Miss U!

Jay Jay,
I miss you soooo much and I think about you everyday. I wish you were here. I'm graduating in two months and even though you will not be there in person, I know you will be there in spirit with MawMaw. I remember last year, on your birthday, I called you, but today, instead, I will cry for you.
For everyone who reads this, just remember that he is always here with us and we will never forget him. I love you, Jay Jay!!
Love always,

Dear Jason,
Its been 5 months now since you left us, and I still wait to hear your keys jiggle in the door in the early morning hours, while I'm playing on the computer, as I am now. It still doesn't seem real.
Sugar and Pepper are doing fine. They have taken to your Mom and I and have become our closes link to you. They still miss you, along with the rest of us!
I hope you have found peace in the world and wish you a Happy Birthday.
Love,
Dad

All I could do was stare. I miss you. I am getting married in a few days on Oct 24th. I am going to be a Harmon now. I dread giving up the O'Connor, but I am so happy. I wish you were here. I love you, I wish I had said that more.

Through the years we have been seperated by just few 100 miles I grew up here yall grew up down there. I remeber as the giant grew so did my stories of my Big cousin. He was usually the first person I would tell anyone about. The thought of my wife and son not meeting him after all they have heard makes me wish I would have gotten home just a little sooner .When I think of home I think of jj and aunt kk big oak tree there both gone now as these thing have come to past. As I sit here though I relize there both still here in my mind and in my heart. Now I am thinkin of you all and memories of days gone past and I miss yall . I love you jj and all yall too. May God be with each us. Love always The Hornbeck

Hey J, just wanna to tell you that I miss you alot. I think about you alot especially on the weekend because I know you would be at the house with Doodle & I all the time. I always picture you coming in the house ready to go out.It's still hard to believe your not here. It doesn't feel right without you. Everytime the phone rings I always think its you, I have to ask "who is it." The other night I was thinking about you I started to draw a picture of you that I had. It came out pretty good I guess. We miss you and will always have you in our memories and in our hearts. Doodle misses you but doesn't say much you know how he is. I really don't like writing this kind of stuff down like this I rather talk to you like I do. I know your protecting everyone up in heaven like you did here on earth. We love you Jason and you will never be forgotten. We will be back to visit you soon.
Love ya

Jason you were like a brother to me and i will miss you greatly and so will everybody else. I still can not believe you are gone i still pick-up my phone and want to call you to see what you are doing. But then I have to remember I cant call you anymore. Me and you have been through a good bit. But we have always gotten past that. You were a bodyguard and a very good friend.
I wish I would have listened to you about some of the things you would tell me not to do but I always had to learn the hard way. I wish i would have been able to go to the wake but i was in New Mexico and could not come back but if i could have J you know i would have came home in a heart beat.
To the family: Great sympathy to all of you i know Jason was loved by everyone.

J.J. and I hadn't been very close in the last few years, but I will always love him and look up to him the way I did when I was a child. I thank God everyday for the closeness of our family. I love you my J.J. You will always be in my heart along with the rest of the family. I will dream of you until the day I see you again. Family is blood and no one and nothing will break the bonds that this family thrives on.

Big Jason,
It's still hard to believe that you are gone. It seems like a bad dream, that we are all hoping to wake up from. We weren't the closest of friends, but I had a lot of respect for you. You always looked out for all of your friends and made sure they were safe (and I am sure you always will). YOu could make anyone laugh. Your personality was so wonderful. YOu have touched more lives than you could have known. Everyone was who has had the pleasure of crossing paths with you in their life is blessed and I am sorry for the people who will never get the chance to meet you. You will always be remembered and kept in our hearts.
To the family: My prayers, sympathy and thoughts are with you. Stay strong.

Big Jason,
I don't even know where to start. This just seems so unreal. I will definitely miss allllllll the fun times we had together. Most everything we all did you were there and you will be remembered each time something new comes along. I'm so grateful you were a part of my life and grateful that we have become so much closer over the years. I will cherish our friendship forever. Ok, so now you'll have to be our BODYGUARD from above looking down on us! I love and miss you much!!!
To the Family : You are in my prayers everyday, and I know God will send you peace in this difficult time. I send my deepest sympathy.

Big Jason,
It just still doesn't seem real that you're gone. I keep waiting to see you walk in my work like you always did just to come hang out with me and my dad. I'm glad that I got to see you & talk to you the day before you passed. We had a good time while we gossiped about everything & everybody, about how we have been knowing each other since before Justin was even driving, and how you don't want Timmy's kids to grow up too fast. Look after my brother, Jason. He's having a real hard time with this. You & Justin have been friends for years and he's really hurting. I know that God was ready for you to come home and while we feel a void here on earth because of your absence, I know it will be filled when we unite with you in Heaven. Until that time, rest in peace Jason.
