Robert MacRae Obituary

Robert Jason MacRAE In Loving Memory Robert Jason MacRae was fearless. Too fearless, perhaps, for now he is gone. Born in Tripoli, Libya on May 10th, 1978, Jason grew up in Alaska and Canada before settling in WA. He had a passion for music and extreme sports and riding his Italian bicycle. He lived his short life with enthusiasm and an element of danger, but he was also tender and kind, and a loving and loyal friend. We will miss his quick wit and his upbeat and happy outlook. Jason is survived by his loving mother, Nancy, his stepmother, Debbie and two sisters, Nicole and Jennifer, his father, Wayne, the love of his life, Riain, and all of his friends and extended family. Most sincere thanks go to the US Coast Guard, Seattle Harbor Patrol and Seattle Fireboat Crews who all assisted in the search for our Jason, lost on February 7th in Puget Sound. The Memorial Service will be held March 7th at 5:00 p.m. in Seattle. Donations can be made in Jason's name to PAWS or the Seattle/KC Humane Society. Jason, you are loved by so many and we will miss you greatly.
