I taught Jason in high school, twice. He was funny and he was sweet--a word that seems to apply for a lot of people. He never got any "attitude" and was unfailingly nice, even if I had to get on his case about studying or homework. I was very fond of him. I'm so sorry for your loss, and wish you comfort in the midst of your grief.

I played on Jason's co-ed softball team Breaktime.. Although I have only known him a short while, he made a huge impression on me and others on our team. We were playing a "not so nice team" and while we were beating ourselves by being mad and upset, Jason was in the dug out, cheering us on, telling us we were better than them and not to get ourselves down. We ended up beating that team that night and Jason was the main reason because he encouraged us to believe in ourselves. To Jason's family. I have also lost a young Son. His name is Evan and he died almost 5 years ago. His death was also a sudden death that should not have happend. It is the hardest thing I have ever dealt with but I want you to know that God put this in my heart and I know he is in Heaven, and I am hoping Jason has met Evan by know and hopefully playing softball with him awaiting the day he will get to see us all again. Time does have a way of healing. I never thought that was possible when my Son died, but your pain will ease through the years. I choose to live my life to the fullest in honour of my Son who didn't get to. I hope you and your family can do the same.

My wife and I were going down memory lane. Thinking about the time we all were at General Assembly, and all the boys were wearing suits trying to look and act like pimps. They were a funny sight in their yellow, purple, red and green suits. Looked like a bunch of gangsters:) Trying to always mess with the ladies. Loved watching Jason play third base and all of the memories with our family. Jason will greatly be missed by the "Gwinn Gang"

I knew Jason as a younger child as he use to play with my children and especially on outings such as Kings Dominion and Carowinds. My children, now the same age as Jason, and myself are terribly sad for the family and pray for Jason's entire family that they will find comfort in knowing that Jason is in Heaven looking down upon us.

We have lost a member of our "Cape Fear Optimist Baseball Family". We had alot of great times back then. Hopefully memories like that will help us all make it through this.
I have always been told that everything happens for the best no matter how hard it seems at the time it happens. I know it's hard to imagine how this could be for the best right now but maybe some day we will understand why it happened to someone as great as Jason.
If you need anything, remember you have your "baseball family" also to help you out.
