I had not seen Jason is many years but I am heartbroken to learn of his passing. In high school, he was a great friend and fun member of our show choir combo. He didnt care that show choir wasnt cool, he just cared about the music and the pleasure we all got from playing, singing and dancing together. Godspeed, Jason.
