    Jason and I worked at GEHA, we started the same day and was in the same training classes together. He was my sidekick in class, everyone knew that Jason and I had a love /hate relationship and neither one of us were afraid to tell one another what we truly thought. We didn’t always see eye to eye, but we always had each other’s back regardless. I am going to miss you, Jason. you are a one-of-a-kind person!

While I only met him briefly, he was clearly a joyful person and a light to all of those around him.

    Judy and Gale, we just saw this and wish to send our sincere sympathies. We have good memories of Jason who always seemed to have a smile. We enjoyed seeing him when we were neighbors. It’s so hard to have a child pass early in life. May angels surround and comfort you with all the fond memories and hope.

    Gale and Judy
    Just caught up with the obits and was shocked to see Jason’s name in there. We live in Florida now. Remember you guys when we were neighbors, in Cedarwood Hills. Jason was a little guy then. A lot of good times. So very sorry for you and the family.
