First and foremost I'm sorry to hear about this. Jason Prokop is a great man ! I had the pleasure of him teaching me how to become a solider at Ft.Knox. I will keep your family in my prayers and God bless you drill sergeant Prokop.

I will miss Jason dearly, I always looked forward to our little visits in our busy lives. I have a memorie that makes me smile even today. It was a Sunday morning and i seen Jason outside, I said whats up buddy? Jason replied he is going out to get another Sunday paper as Julie is clipping coupons. I told Jason that I can get another $2.00 paper for .50cents. Jason gave me a quiz look and asked if I get a discount or something. I told Jason that for .50cents I'd take one off the neighbors driveway for him. The look he gave me will never be forgotten!! Jason you will be missed here in this world, you were taken from us for reasons I do'nt know,and Im not sure Ill ever understand. Ve con Dios mi Amigo.

I never will forget nor meet anyone as interesting and hardworking as you. I'm so glad and honored to have met you. You have changed some of the ways I approach my job, tasks, and life. Ever since Fort Knox, certain things that you did or have done play in my mind and keep me grinning. A trooper til the end, and a friend for eternity! Aloha brother, keep those souls dressed to the right, and covered down...just don't march them, let 2PAC do that...lol..Just Kidding! God Bless you and your ohana...Aloha!

Brother, it was just this summer, you & I were sitting in the chowhall at Fort Sill talking about how the Army had changed & how you love being a Drill Sergeant. You brought terrors & discipline to the Privates, but you were loved by them. Many of them respected you and all of them wanted to be just like you once they leave BCT. Jason, you're an inspiration for the soldiers & a true leader to all of us. I only wish that I was half of what you're as a soldier & a police officer. Jason you will be missed and everytime when "TAP" is playing on post, I will render a hand salute for you my brother. Rest in Peace and see you at the crossroad, as you always said "RLTW-Ranger Lead The Way" us Leggers follow.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. You will get through this, I promise. Hold on to your babies and show them your incredible strength. If you ever want to take a little vacation in San Francisco, you and your family are always welcome in my home.

Even though I personally didn't know Jason my daughter Corinne is a good friend of Julie's and we visited with her the day after Jason passed. Just looking at the photos and speaking with Julie I see how much he loved and cared for his family. That is an amazing quality that is not witnessed very often. Jason will always be a truly special angel and his presence will be here a long time.

You were such a wonderful Dad & husband!! I got to meet Jason at a friend's craft party. Julie couldn't make it so he brought Vaughn, He helped Vaughn make the Christmas craft! I will never forget what a sweet & caring person you were! You will be greatly missed!!

I only met him once, though that is all it took to know that Jason was a great guy. He loved his family and adored them. I can't express the sorrow in my heart when I heard about the accident. I simply broke down and cried. Though we aren't close, Julie, know that if you or the boys need anything please let us know. I know that you guys have an amazing angel looking down on you always and he will never leave you.
Love,

We both hugged you that night and sometimes I replay it just so I can hold you tighter, it's hard to except and some days I don't. We learned so much from you and would do Ft. Knox all over again just to have that time back. You truly were the smartest man we had ever met, never heard you say anything negative or complain and you enjoyed the tasks that made most people miserable lol. This world has lost you and there will never be anyone like you again. We miss you & will never forget you or what it means to give and love unconditionally. Love Always, Fran & Jay Hartman

Jason was a true friend. He was my battle buddy through basic training and he stood next to me as a groomsman in my wedding. He was extremely helpful to my wife during my deployment. He was the definition of public servant and a hero, BSBD my friend
