Jason Menard Obituary
WORCESTER - Worcester Fire Lieutenant Jason James Menard, 39, passed away Wednesday, November 13, 2019 from injuries suffered when he became trapped in a four-alarm fire in Worcester, after helping his Ladder crew get to safety.
Jason was born in Worcester, on April 4, 1980, the son of James Menard and Cheryl (Pike) Kelly. Jason graduated from Doherty Memorial High School, Class of 1999. This is where he met the Love of his Life Tina. The two would marry in 2003 and together they would go on to raise three beautiful children.
Jason began his journey with the Worcester Fire Department on October 25, 2010. Throughout his career, Jason was assigned to Ladder 6 and Engine 11 of the Greendale Station and Engine 4 of the Park Avenue Station. On October 9, 2018, Jason was promoted to Lieutenant and assigned to Ladder 5 of the McKeon Road Station. When not working for the Fire Department, Jason worked for the Washburn-Garfield Corporation.
Jason is survived by his cherished family, his wife of sixteen years, Tina; their three children, Joshua, Hailee, and Morgan Menard; his mother and step-father, Cheryl (Pike) Kelly and Peter D. Kelly of Worcester; his sister, Heather Current and her husband Dan and their children Hannah and Macey of Shrewsbury; his father and mother-in-law, Francis and Theresa Mosso of Worcester; his maternal grandmother, Anne Clark of North Port, Florida. He also leaves behind many Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and friends, Michael Giangrande, Jr., his wife Kristen and their children, Olivia, Sophia, and Dante. Jason was god father to three special girls who loved him dearly, Macey, Lilliana and Liberty. He is predeceased by his father, James Menard; his grandparents, William Pike, Paul and Mildred Menard.
Jason was a true family man who wanted nothing but the best for them. He rarely missed a softball or basketball game, dance competition or any other activity his children were involved in. Dad was their biggest fan and supporter. Jason enjoyed camping and never turned down a board game challenge from his children. He loved working in the yard and everything Pumpkin Spice. His love for his family, his selflessness, and his unique sense of humor is how he will be remembered.
Calling hours for Jason will be held on Sunday, November 17, 2019 from 3 pm to 7 pm in the MERCADANTE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL, 370 Plantation St. His funeral will be held Monday, November 18th at 11:00 am in St John's Church, 44 Temple St., Worcester (PLEASE GO DIRECTLY TO CHURCH). Burial with Worcester Fire Department Honors will follow in St. John's Cemetery, Worcester. In lieu of flowers, memorial remembrances in Jason's name can be made to the Worcester Firefighters Scholarship Fund, 625 Chandler Street, Worcester, MA 01602.

I have a brother that is a retired fire fighter and through him lots of other fire fighters as friends. I know what it was like when one of their own is lost in the line of duty.
II know, know words are enough. I just want his family and his family at the firehouse to know he made a difference in this world. He is appreciated not just in the town he served by throughout this country. He is what America is about, he is what makes America great.! One man willing to put others before himself to save others without a single thought for his own safety. Hero's don't die they stay with us to remind us of what is good in this world. Sending tons of healing hugs to all of Worcester.

Jason came to work for us part time about seven years ago it took no time at all to realize that we would have a great employee but and even better friend. Although we had so many laughs and fun times the quality we admired most was his love for his family and dedication to the Worcester Fire Department. This loss is heartbreaking beyond words we are so glad we were able to be a part of his life. Rest in peace my good friend.

November 17, 2019
Dear Cousin Jason,
I know you are with the angels now. I know angels are real. They're not just some fantasy, although at one time (I'm sad to say) I thought they were. God has shown me different, so when I say, "Be at peace among the angels," I smile inside, without fear or doubt, knowing that is where you truly are & find comfort in knowing that Heaven is closer than we think.
I remember playing together when we were children at Memere & Pepe's Christmas parties. Bebe (Auntie Marlene) always used to remind me of how you & I were close in age. At school, I was always so shy but somehow felt at home among our dozens of cousins. (How funny it was to be one of the few with blonde hair. Lol!)
How cute we all were in our little Christmas clothes, running about the hall as a seemingly endless stream of loved ones arrived, each with their arms full of food to share. Then someone would come from the kitchen & take it from their hands in exchange for hugs & kisses. The room would roar when each carload of people arrived, so happy to see eachother again, like old friends...and we'd run & skip & eat & play & wait patiently for Santa to call each of us up to get our present - blessed Memere & Pepere to have given so generously to us children... but you know, the greatest gift of all was the memories we made.
Time goes by so fast - life goes by so fast...and now, here we are. You are a true hero, Mr. Jay. Words cannot express how much of an inspiration your sacrifice has been to us all. God may have taken you Home, but your memory will live on forever. Fear not. Worry not. Your fight is over. Be at peace. Live within the light of the Lord/God. It's okay to let go. We're all okay, thanks to you & others like you, especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. I can't imagine being that brave. Were you even human or have you been an angel all along?
Thank you for your service. Thank you for your sacrifice. Thanks for being the wonderful man you were & the beautiful spirit you forever shall be.
Until we meet again.
Dave & Diane Hart

We grieve with you , for you . However we can never know the totality of your pain . There really are no words other than Im sorry . He is a true hero , and its evident the whole Country is sad for this tragedy , HOWEVER WORCESTER ( County too ) is ALWAYS WITH YOU !!!
