Hello husband and I owned Bigg Daddy's Restaurant. Jason was a regular customer of ours and became a great friend to us all that worked there. We were shocked to hear the news about Jason. I will be there tonight in honor of Jason and this family. Jason never had a negative thing to say and was so friendly to everyone that was in his presence. Funny thing about Jason was him coming into the restaurant and saying. "You got anything you need to get rid of." Our prayers go out to you all. Until we meet again Jason take care and you will surely be missed.

Jason D. Blocker was one of the best bosses and people I have ever met in my life. He was a good hearted, caring, amazing friend willing to help anyone in need including this dumb young kid. From sweating our faces off 12 hours a day, to grabbing some yummy food, to taking him to see his first I.C.P. concert. (He only went to see p.o.d. but still even offered to pay for our tickets) atleast once a week i think of my time working for him and all the laughs we had. Your were a very special person in my life Jason, we may not have seen or talked to each other lately but you always had and always will have my love and respect. Rest easy my friend
