I miss you buddy I wish we could talk I really need to talk to you.

We have had a hard time trying to find the right words to express what we feel . Not a day goes by that we don't think of Jason and wish there was some way to change things. I know he would not want to come back, but it sure is hard for the ones who loved him to see him gone from us. Jason had the most gentle soul and always had a laugh or smile. He was a joy to know and love. We know no words can help the pain, but know that prayers and thoughts are with you daily.
With Love,
Rickey and Bonnie

My Big Brother Jason,
I will forever miss our hangouts and how we would have each other in tears from laughing too hard. There was never a dull moment when you were around, always had something interesting to talk about. Any time there was a report I had to do in school about a family member, I would always choose my brother Jason. I’m glad for the time that was given to me on our last cookout together which was a couple of days before you left us. We would talk and talk for hours and it would be midnight before you started cooking. We talked about camping out at Uncle Rickey’s and Aunt Bonnie’s farm the perfect place to look at the sky through your telescope. I am glad that you are watching over us keeping us safe until that day comes when we will all be together again. You were my brother and my best friend.
Love you always,
Your little brother Lucas

My dearest sweet Jason,
I know not why you had to go but I do know there will come a day that you will wrap your arms around me and tell me why. I will miss seeing your sweet face and smile coming through the door and I would give everything just to have been able to hold you in my arms just one last time but this was not to be. You grew into a wonderful, loving, caring, humble young man who only wanted good things for everyone. You were always there for your family and I will miss our long talks and your culinary wisdom. I look at the stars and think of you. As you know Laney your Great Dane and protector is in a good place with room to roam. You touched the lives of all who knew you in life and death. My heart is breaking and life on this earth for me will never be the same. I know you are in a better place and that gives me comfort and will get me through until we meet again.
Until then…I am thankful for the time we had together and that our heavenly father allowed me to be your mom.
Your loving mom,

Jason-
You will be missed. I remember meeting you for the first itme back in 1992 at the Piedmont Center for Theraupedic Horseback riding in Germanton. We bacame friends almost instantly. I can remember you playing the drums with Wayne and the other guys in the band and how much you loved music. I also remember those many late nights at Kernersville Bowling Center where we Jarrett, myself and you went bowling, How I remember what a good bowler you were and how much you loved to bowl.
I am helping the family re-open KBC in the next few weeks it's gonna be called Cinema Bowl, we have grown apart in the past few years and I had not heard form you. I was gonna start a search and see if we could go bowling again. But now you are in a better place amd you will be looking down on me as you watch me bowl.
Gary and family. My deepest heart felt sorrow goe's out to you in this time of loss of Jason.
Jason you will be missed.
Love Always

Gary and Sally:
There are no words to explain the sorrow I feel for you and your loss. A very good dancing friend said to me, “Death is a part of life.” Sometimes, we learn this way too soon. I am praying for you and you are in my thoughts. May Jason be the gentle breeze on a summer’s day. He will always be with you. I love you both.

Bro,
When I was little I prayed and prayed for God to give me a brother or sister. He answered my prayers by giving me you, Jarrett, and Lucas. Ever since then, its been the four of us. No matter what was going on in our lives, I always knew I had my brothers out there. Even though I am older, you were the one to teach me how to ride a bike without training wheels, and then how to ride your dirt bike only to have me crash it on numerous occasions, you taught me how to water ski, and how to look at the stars through your telescope. I remember you getting us lost in the woods (alot!), and playing Ghost Busters and Top Gun. You were always there for me whenever I needed you. You supported me in every decision I made, even though you might not have agreed with it. I loved our long phone conversations. My favorite part of driving for long periods of time was that I could call you and talk for hours. I want to hear your voice so badly and its so hard for me to accept that your are gone. Who is going to call me sprite again??
I know you are in a better place, away from pain and with God. But I can’t help but be angry because this wasn’t in my plans. You took a part of me when you left, but in return I will always have a part of you in my heart that no one can take away. I do feel safer knowing that you are in Heaven looking out for me. You were and are a great friend, but you will always be one of the best brothers a girl could ask for. I love you and will always miss you! Love always, Sis

Dear Jarrett and family,
I am shocked to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. Jason was a great man. I hate that I haven't spoken to any of you in a long time. He helped me when I first moved here. He was a great friend to me, he will be missed.

Dear Jason,
It's really hard for me to accept that you are gone but I know your in a better place. I want so badly to wake up tommorrow and find out this was just a really long and drawn out nightmare but I know that won't happen. I do know that one day I will wake up in heaven and I know you will be the one to greet me. I want to thank you for being the best Big Brother anyone could ask for. Even though I was 5 yrs in age behind you, you never left me behind. I could always count on you to drive to walnut cove and pick me up so I could go have fun with the guys. You supported me in everything I did even if you didn't agree and I don't think we had a single secret from one another that didn't come out eventualy in one of our 5 hour talks sitting in the kitchen while you created one of your masterpieces. Top chef couldn't touch you. I love you and miss you so much Jason and I feel safer than ever knowing I have you as a guardian angel. I will see you later at the gates of Saint Peter. Until then you will remain in my heart as my brother and my best friend.

Dear Cook Family,
Although I didn't know Jason as well as I would have liked, he made an awesome impression on me. He was always so kind to me and my family. Full of laughter,always smiling, he never met a stranger. He had my utmost respect as an individual, a brother-in-law, and a friend. He did things for people, including myself, that surprised me. He showed me how big his heart was in the things he did. Such as, he sent me a birthday card with money in it and wrote in it, "Here Sis, go get yourself something..." This happened at a time in his life where I don't know where he found the strength to keep going. There were other things he did that showed tremendous compassion. Things most fellas just wouldn't do.....He is truly, dearly missed.
I love you Brother.....I just wish I'd have said it to you more often.
...Until we meet again..... :-)

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of loss. I know there are no words that can take away the pain, but please know that we are lifting you up in prayer for God to hold tight to you all. It has been several years since I spoke to Jason but he was always really special and meant a lot to so many people. The thought that I would hold on to the most would be to just remember that as much as we would like to have loved ones here, Heaven needed them more. We will all meet again. Love and prayers.

Dear Gary, Diane and The Cook Family,
I'm sorry and shocked to hear of the loss of Jason. It's ashamed that I have a family member that I never really knew. I do remember being the flower girl in your wedding. I remember when Diane was pregnant with Jason. I remember Jason's one year old birthday party.
I wish I could be there to offer the family support. I love you all. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Debbie (Jones) Hall (Doug's daughter)

Jason will be greatly missed by friends and family. He used to come stay with my son, Wayne and they had so much fun. Turned out to be a very good band with other friends and the performances they did were fantastic. Jason was always full of laughter and he will be dearly missed. Prayers and special memories to all the family.

I can remember the first time I met him. He came to my house to try out for the band. It was kinda funny he was the only one that could fit the building, because the drums and the amps took up all the space, the rest of us had to stand outside. 14 years later we still remain friends. We had done many things together, including his first big concert in 96 in which we camped out for to get front row seats. He loved to cook on the grill and entertain friends as well as his family. He loved mustangs and big older cars, his favorite being (the bomb) I can remember he and his dad getting that thing running and his face lit up the sky the day he drove it off the driveway. Jason was always in the mood for a laugh even when he didn't feel like laughing. I'm really going to miss him. Jason I love you like a brother and will never forget you. Rest in peace.
