Jason Black Obituary

BLACK, Jason Travis
Born February 10, 1981 and taken December 25, 2005. Jason is survived by his mother, Diana Black; father, Travis Black; and stepfather, Kurt Neill; as well as many brothers and sisters, Kristin Black, Brandon Black, Robin Black, Dustin Black, Ryan Black, Meagan Black, and Kurt Jr., and stepbrother, Matt and Melinda Gray. His grandparents are Kay and Robert Hutto, Marilyn Black, William Black (deceased), and Winne and Robert Neill. Survivors also include his aunts and uncles, Bill & Ann Hutto, Candy & Jim Tyree, Chris & Rich Butler, Bobette & Kevin Tuck, Christine & Rob Neill, and Suzette & Greg Leffers. Jason was also a great uncle to his sister Kristin's child, Kylee Tobin. He was also a cousin to many and good friend to his shipmates. Jason was very active in the U.S. Navy and was currently a machinist on the CVN 68 U.S.S. Nimitz Air Craft Carrier. He enjoyed hanging out with friends, family, camping, snowboarding, and much more. He was a very outgoing and energetic young man. Jason was an outstanding son, brother, cousin, uncle, and most of all, a friend. He was struck with the tragic news of his stepbrother, Shane Gray in October, but the two will meet again in heaven! The viewing will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, January 3, 2006 at Mount Vernon Memorial Hall and the funeral service will follow. After the service there will be a gathering at the First Baptist Church on Central and Pecan to remember Jason with food and beverages. Everyone is welcome to come and share their memories they had of Jason.

Dearest Jay,
It has been a while since I heard about your passing and I couldn't contain the grief that consumed me. Even though we hadn't seen each other for so long before this tragedy, because our lives took us down separate roads and we lost contact, every now and then I think about you. It is never a fleeting thought, you linger and my sadness returns because I will never get the chance to see you again. Jay.... I loved you then and I still love you now. I often think about how life would have been so different if things didn't happen the way they did and my heart is so full of regret. You were so much more than just my friend Jay, I hope you know this.

Jay- Its me Robin I am sorry it has taken this long for me to do this, but it has been realy hard for me. Well I miss you so much every day that I can hardly bare it but I manage some how. Every day I think of you and I cry not only in sadness but sometimes in happieness just thinking about all of the fun things we did. One thing that hurts me so much is thinking about how we planned on going snowboarding because I have never been before and you were going to teach me how, but you are gone and I want to learn on my own now because no one can ever take your place and it wouldn't be the same. I will have to take quite a few falls but I will figure it out. I will go this winter, but it will not be as fun without you, I know you will be by my side and that helps to know that but it is not the same. I wish I could go back in time and I would have made you make the time and I would have made the time so I could have another fun memory with you out of the millions I already have but 1 would have made me wish for so many more. I love you and I miss you so much. Jay we were so close and it hurts cause you are not here to see me get married and watch my children grow or be there when I have my first one. I new you were going to make an impact on people and you sure did. I tell everyone how smart, fun, funny, charming, beautiful "handsome", and how pure of a person you are and everyone whom didn't have the pleasure of knowing you wish they had. I miss having you to talk yo and to be around. I love you Jason Travis Black and I hope time will fly until I can hug, kiss and see your beautiful smile.

Love Always and Foever,

Your Favorite Lil Sista Robin

Wow... what a shock to find out almost 6 months later. Jason was one of the better friends out there, one you could always rely on. I knew Jason growing up bowling with him all day Saturdays and in tournaments. He was a damn good bowler with a unique style. We also had some good times with another buddy, Corey, just hanging out watching movies, playing games, and of course bowling. Unfortuantly we lost touch over the past few years but I would ask about him whenever given the chance. He will be missed, he was a great friend to anyone he met and an inspiration to all.

R.I.P Jason Black... you will be missed and never forgotten, you have touched all of our lives...

Your friend forever,

Jason was much more than my son and it is just now,that I realize what I have learned from him. As I reflect back on how he lived his life and how he touched everyone he ever knew.How he showed respect for everyone even if he disagreed in what they did.

Jason taught me to Love my whole family and all there flawed,outrageous Humanity and in families there are no crimes beyond forgiveness.

I Love and miss you so much son.

DAD.

My Son was my pride and joy. He was the whole family's pride and joy. From the moment he was born,he was the center of attention. Everyone had dreams of what was to come. For me,he was the boy I could play ball with,and watch the game with. I could be the proud father cheering him on from the stands when he was in a Karate tournament or a BMX race,or a MX race.He won more than 500 trophy's and numerous plaques,ribbons and so forth.
He alway's had his priorities in tact.Always did his school work,alway's kept a job and always had his own money from early on.He was alway's helping the family anyway he could with a great big smile on his face.I am proud to say that I was able to play ball,bowl,and watch him accell at every sport he played. I am proud to say that his mother was there with us,as a mother,supporting him,and nurturing him.I am proud to say that he loved his brothers and sisters,and they loved him.But I am most proud of my son.He lived as much life as he could,and he did it with courage and strength. He was the strongest person I have ever met. Jason,You were and will always be my Hero.I truly believe that god takes people when they have completed their duty here on earth. You did that in less than 25 years. I Love you Jason,and I will be by your side in eternity soon.

I just wanted to express my condolences to your family. I met Jason while we were in school in Charleston, SC. I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Jason was such a bright, caring person. He was truely liked by everyone who knew him. Jason and his family have been in my thoughts and prayers since I heard the news. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

My memories are so full and rich with the time that I have spent with you family. I can hardly believe that it was just around 1968 when our families first met. Man, now that's telling our ages. The first home that I can remember you in was over on Madison in those apartments then I think off of Central Ave then having taco bell on the door step at your grandads house off of Hazel Ave and the pool in the back yard I remember that lot across the street. If I remember correctly it was quite bumpy and my legs kind of were too long for that bike. You know I watched all of you kids grow up, swim, ride bikes in Grandma and Grandpa's back yard. Remember that big tree root? It was like a jump. How cool was that!!! Then you went and grew up it seams like overnight. I went over to visit your Grandma and as I walked toward the living room I passed by the door way to the room you were in, you were all spralled out on the bed fast assleep. Actualy, you were just getting re-energized to go out and have more fun. Jason, you are in the best of hands know and I know you and Shane will be leading the way, even of those who have went before you. You will never be forgotten. As you were son as you were. God Bless

Dear Black family,

I can only imagine how devastated you must be. I was Jason's third grade teacher at Trajan School. I remember him as a happy boy who always had a smile on his face. Quite often I would get a hug as he went out the door at the end of the day. Jason was a very conscientious young man who had many friends. And how he loved his bike!

I was so pleased and proud to hear how well he was doing in the navy. He will be a role model for all the young people who knew and loved him. It is a blessing that he was doing something he dearly loved when he was called.

Black family, I love you all. I wish I could be at Jason's service tomorrow. I will be there in spirit.

Very sincerely, Ralphene Lee

To Jason, It is so hard to understand how your time on this earth could be cut short. You were such a shining star in every aspect of your life. Every time I saw you, even if it had been a year. you always greeted me with a sweet smile and a warm hug. I will always remember that about you. To know you was an honor and you will be missed. Your Cousin, Tina Manson

Hey Jay~ You and Shane better be having fun up there, and staying out of trouble. If there was a jail up there you two would be locked up already. Having the time of your lives we guess it was your time to go, but we want both of you to know we love you and miss you very much. When its our time to go we will meet you guys there. Love you both and becareful and try to be nice....Amber & Mindy

I'm so sad your time here was so short! You certainly made many people here so proud of your accomplishments and gave of yourself so faithfully. Many people live long lifes and never acomplish many of the things you did. I remember the night you were born very well, as we talked of in our e-mail conservations. I regret I didn't continue e-mailing after you came home. I was just relieved you were home safe and well.

I send my condolences to you Dianne and Travis, and to Kristen, Brandon, Robin, Dustin, Ryan and Megan. Also to Grandparents and other family member and friends.

Jason Black will be missed. I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Jason when we were young and have kept in touch through family as we have gotten older. I am very proud to be Jason's cousin and I am sad to know that my son will not have the opportunity to know him. To Jason I would like to say that we love you and we miss you and to those that are left behind please stay strong.

I am Jason's maternal Grandmother and extremely proud of Jason and how he lived life. I think he lived the Navy motto of "honor, courage and commitment". He will be missed but at least his life on earth ended doing what he loved. Love you Jason, Gram

Diane, Travis, Kurt, and Family,

I am so very sorry. I didn't have the chance to know Jason well, but I know how much Shane loved him. If Jason was coming home, I knew Shane wouldn't be home, he'd be at Diane's waiting for his arrival. Please know that we are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
