Aug. 23, 1967 ~ Oct. 12, 2016
Resident of Watsonville
Jason Rexford Scofield passed away in the early morning hours of Wednesday, October 12, 2016 after a brief battle with a rare form of liver cancer. Jason's final days were spent in the company of family and friends, whose lives he had touched with his kind and generous nature.
Jason was born and raised in Santa Cruz, however he moved to Watsonville to raise his family. Jason will be remembered for his gentle nature and kindness towards others. He was a big guy, with an even bigger heart. He will be remembered as a loyal father, a kind hearted friend, a generous soul, a hard worker, and always a defender of the weak.
Jason was a Union Hod Carrier, who often did much more than required. He was grateful to Bratton Masonry for giving him his bones in the trade. He went on to be involved in building Levi stadium, the Apple campus and Berkley College. In later years when work became scarce, Jason left the Union in search of steady work, and was retrained for private security.
Jason is survived by his loving wife Tonya of 16 years; his three cherished boys, Alex (7), Nathanel and Joseph (5); his mother, Suzanne Scofield; sister, Tonja Scofield; nieces, Morgan Medina, Rebecca Lieber and nephew Joseph Lieber, all of Santa Cruz. His mother-in-law, Linda Sim's; sisters in law; Selena and Pamela of Santa Cruz and Augustine of Hayward and brother-in-law, Michael.
A memorial service will be held at Garfield Park Christian Church, also known to locals as Circle Church on October 29th at 12 noon. There will be a private scattering at sea, at a later date. If you would like to donate Jason's go fund me account the family is still in need of donations. It is listed under "help Jason battle cancer" at www.gofundme.com. Mehl's Colonial Chapel was entrusted with the arrangements.
