Jason was one of the nicest and most kindest person Ive known. He was a coworker and friend when I worked with him at BNY Mellon. He was always willing to help and make sure we all were taken care of and if we needed anything he was the first one to help. My sincere condolences for his family and loved ones. He will always be an inspiration to those who looked up to him including myself. Many prayers are being sent to his family and friends who knew him and grew to love him like a brother. God bless Jason I know hes with the lord above.

My deepest sympathy and prayers for Jason's family to find peace in this difficult time. I always loved to see Jason at The White Rabbit to talk about coffee and trade hiking and biking stories. His smile and laugh will be missed dearly.

Jason and Rusty where students of mine and he was so loving and patient with Mr Rusty I throughly enjoyed having them in my class and he just wanted to have fun with his dog. He always kept in touch and enjoyed seeing his adventures on fb. I am so very sorry for your loss. He was a great man.

Robin, Robbie and Shyla,
I have no words, my heart is broken for you all. Jason was my pool league buddy, my pool tournament road trip buddy, my beer hook up at the Pens games and most of all my long time friend. He was amazing and should still be with us. This is so unfair. I just want you all to know that I treasured his friendship. My family hurts for you all as well. You all take care, love and hugs ❤

I'm so sorry for the loss of your son, loved one. I did not know Jason but I know of his passion for life. Riding bicycles, especially in the ridges is as rewarding as life can be. I cried tears for Jason as I understand why he was out there. That area is challenging, rewarding and often spiritually engaging. I will keep you all in my prayers. Mike

Words cannot express the sadness I feel right now after hearing of Jason's passing. Jason was my manager at BNY Mellon but he was also a great mentor to me in life and my career. His perspective on life was so unique. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jason's loved ones. He will truly be missed.

Dear Robin,

John and I offer our sincere condolence and deepest sympathy on this terrible loss of your son Jason; taken too soon. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence and in knowing that his was a life well-lived.
I had not met Jason, but you spoke so well of him during our ride-sharing trips to meetings, that I have a sense of how special he was to you. Having a son, the same age makes me even more sympathetic of just how shocking and devastating this loss is to you and your family.

With true and heartfelt sympathy,

~Sharon Matz

I did not know Jason or the Zollinger family.

Jason's passing struck a chord with me because I often rode my bicycle on Route 30 from Ligonier to the top of Laurel Mountain. I feel very badly for his family and friends.

I hope you find peace.
