Jason Callegari Obituary

Jason Scott Callegari, a resident of Ventress, Louisiana, passed away on August 1, 2023 at the age of 53. Jason was born on July 26, 1970 to Ronnie and Ruth Callegari. After Jason graduated from False River Academy in 1988, he attended the University of Southwestern Louisiana where he majored in Architecture. His love of aviation steered him to Fort Rucker for flight school, which kickstarted his career as a helicopter pilot in the United States Army for 23 years until his retirement. He enjoyed spending time with his dad, Ronnie and his beloved dog, Beau. Jason and Beau would often be seen taking rides together while enjoying each other's company. Jason was also a dedicated and avid football fan. Jason is survived by his father, Ronnie Callegari; wife, Laurie Hogan Callegari; stepson, Matthew Graffeo; brother, Ron Callegari (Lori); his beloved dog, Beau; and numerous nieces, nephews and loved ones. He is preceded in death by his mother, Ruth Jarreau Callegari. A visitation will be held at Niland's Funeral Service on Monday, August 7, 2023 from 9:00 am until 11:00 am.

MOJO 70 where have you gone? I know where you've gone. The Good Lord called you on that final mission. Only you won't be getting in an aircraft anymore. Now you have the Wings of Angels flying across the Heavens and Universe wherever He has you go. You're flying where no rocket ship will ever reach and faster than the speed of light. I was proud to be your friend Jason. You were a true friend and your folks are the best people on this earth. I already miss talking with you and cracking jokes. I will see you again my true friend. Mr. Ronnie and Ron Jr. and Family may the Lord and the memories of Jason comfort you during your time of loss. Love Y'all and God Bless.
