Jayson, I'm going to miss that laugh of yours on the occasions I got to know you and talk to you at Phil's. And I suppose now you'll have company where you are as Barron is now free of all this worldly drama and chilling with you again. My heart hurts knowing you both have left us. I'll miss both of you guys.

Jayson will be remembered by the Jon L. Evans family as a concerned neighbor, neighborhood watchman, and kind encourager. He made us laugh on many occasions and always looked out for our father in his senior years. Thank you Jayson for the goodness you showed. We extend prayers of comfort to the family!
