    My heartfelt sympathies to Jan and Jason’s Children. I have many fond memories of Jason from 4-H and High School. Jason always greeted a friend with a warm smile and heartfelt handshake. I will forever remember his passion for photography and the many successes he had in 4-H in the project, and with the High School Paper. To his children, know that you were the light in his eyes, and he dearly loved you.
