I went to school with Jason and I can remember him being one of the guys crying his senior year at their last basketball game because he was done playing in his high school days. He was always so nice and always had a smile on his face. Very sorry to hear he had to leave us so soon. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

When Jason came to my house for the first time, we only met for a minute, and I had to go grocery shopping. Well, jokingly, I told my husband that I had to go to WINCO early so I wouldnt miss the crowds for spanging (asking strangers for money)so my kids wouldnt be hungry. Jason over heard me say that, and didnt know my sense of humor yet, and thought I was serious. An hour later he returned with 4 paper bags of groceries.
This is the Jason I remember.

I adored Jason. He was fun loving, charismatic and genuine. I bought Cap N Crunch today and even when Jason was still with us, always think of him when picking these boxes up from the shelves. I will miss him. Hang in there Brenda and Renee!! I'm sure Jason's big strong arms hold you in his embrace always.

Jasoon loved his daughter more than anything in the world.

Words can not express the loss we feel losing Jason to such a tragedy. His daughter Madelyn and I will think of him and his smile every day. Madelyn takes comfort in knowing that he is watching over her and her Nana from Heaven. All our love, Erika and Madelyn

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Jasons passing. He was one of the funniest guys I have ever known. I will miss the times when we were all kids staying up all night and playing super mario and eating dry captain crunch. You will be missed jason, but never forgotten.

Brenda, It is very unfair that this has happened to a wonderful person. I hope that you are doing ok, I know that it is hard and you may feel that it will never heal, but know that it gets better with time. He will always be loved and in our hearts.

Brenda, there are no words to a mother who has lost her child. You are always in my prayers. May God bless you and your family and may the Lord look after Jason's little one always. Jason had such a beautiful smile!

January 27, 2011

I would like to offer my conductance to Jason's family and to say this was a fine young man. I remember him coming over to our house when we lived on moon shadow, tall polite driving his El Camino. Words are hard to express coming from the heart about his tragic passing. I pray for him and his family and believe that wonderful smile he's wearing in his picture is how he is right now, for his life was short but it was full of goodness.
