Brenda-I know this must be a very difficult time for you! Jason always had you by the heart. I know you must be so lost without him now. Just remember how he was such a fun-loving free spirit. If you focus on that, then those good times will certainly get you through these hard times you are going through now. Just remember to be strong and put on a huge smile with your big heart for those two grandchildren. That is what Jason would have wanted from you and everyone around him. I will continue to pray for you and if you ever need a thing, please call!

Brenda, I saw the obituary in the newspaper. I went to school with you at NNHS. I know is must be hard to lose a child just as they are entering into their young adulthood. I just wanted you to know I said a special prayer for you. Maybe you will remember me. Laura Frazier Johnson

I didn't know Jason that long, only a few months or so, but the little time I did know him he made an impression on me, he had that way with people. He would always tell me everytime I saw him "as long as you stick with me Mel I'd give you the shirt off my back", and he would, Jason was one of the most caring and loving person you could ever know once you got to know him. Me, Mike, and him had some great times while he was up here in VA staying with Margie (or "bom bom" as he called her), he was greatly loved and will be very much missed. My heart goes out to Brenda and his two babies, Skylar and CJ, it will impact them the most since they were so close to him, he loved all three of you very much, he told me all the time how he couldn't wait for me to meet his babies, he would brag about how smart the both of you are and how proud he is of you. I got to see first hand how much he loved his mama, I never heard him hang up the phone with her or leave the house without telling her he'd love her, I'm thinking about you and praying for you Brenda. My thoughts and prayers are also with the rest of his family and friends, and Debra who was with him during the accident, he loved you girl, I wish you luck during your recovery. He was a very loving and at times crazy guy, but that's why everyone loved him, it won't be easy on anyone dealing with this horrible loss. Jason will always have a place in my heart and I will always have the memories I got to share with him.
R.I.P. J-byrd. I love you buddy!

To Jason's Family,
We were there at the funeral home with you Monday night but unable to attend Tuesday. Jason called and left a message on Tuesday and Wednesday and both times he said "Mike and Tina" I love you guys, call me back. Not thinking that wuld be the last time we would have talked with him. That is one message we will never erase from the machine. We just wanted to say how sorry we are he is no longer with us. I know he loved his mama, he talked about her all the time. If there is anything we can do, please do not hesitate to call on us. Jason grew up with Kennith and April Morris and they are truly friends for life.

30 years ago there was great joy after Jason was born and brought home. To those who brought him home, along with many friends and family, the past few days and today brought anguish such as no one even wants to witness, much less experience. No one need dare to try and imagine the grief.
No words can lessen this pain. Only the passage of time will wear away at its edge, but we will never forget.
I'm glad that he was part of my life. I'll remember Jason as I knew him best years ago, carefree, loved and sometimes mischievous.
Those who loved him must now do as HE would want, moving on with life until you meet again.

CJ & Skylar,
May God be with you during this tradgic loss. Always remember that your Daddy may not be here in flesh, but forever in spirit. Death is a hard thing to understand at a young age. In time as you both grow older you will learn to understand the reasons for God's actions. He does not take love one's from us to hurt us. He does so to teach us and help us grow stronger. If there is anything we can do for you please let us know. We love you both very much.
Love,
Uncle Sterling,Aunt Virginia, Ashely & Autumn
