Jason, you were a great friend, and a awesome dad. We were friends as soon as we met, we had so many great times over the year's. I also thank you for helping me in my time of need. You were always more than a friend to me, you were my brother from another mother. It had been too long since we had got together. You had one of the biggest hearts I know, you always had a smile, and could always make me laugh. I'll miss you everyday buddy. Say Hi to Abbey for me. Miss you bud. Love ya brother.
