Carolyn, it broke my heart to read about Jason’s passing. Our children are our most prized possessions and I know you were an excellent mother. I’m praying for you and your family for peace during this time. God bless you!
Dear Carolyn, Mendy, Jeff, Lexie & Olivia –
Please know that my thoughts & prayers are with you all. Although I met Jason through business; it didn’t take long before his kind heartedness & sense of humor led to a dear & valued friendship. May your grief be softened by knowing how appreciative people were to have him in their lives…& the pain of your loss eventually be overshadowed by happy memories of your son, brother & father.
Carolyn, so sorry to hear of Jason’s, Gary’s and Amys passing. It was a pleasure to know and work with each of them.
Carolyn, I can’t imagine the feelings that you have right now. Just know that many prayers are being sent your way now and in the difficult days ahead.
I am so very sorry to hear of Jason’s passing. I will always remember his smile, his laugh and his eagerness for fun. I am so glad that I got the chance to know him and I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.
I only met Jason this past December, but we quickly became friends.
Jason never met a stranger.
Jason’s smile was as big as his heart. Jason’s caring and compassion for others was the strongest I have ever seen in another person. I will always cherish the conversations we had, and the times we shared.
Life is short. Share it out loud.
Never miss an opportunity to share what God puts on your heart with the ones that God puts in your path.
So sorry Carolyn for your loss. I think of you often. We had a lot of good conversation for the trails we went though in our lives. Praying for you my old friend.

I am so saddened to hear of Jason’s passing. I will always remember all the time we spent together during high school. He was one of my best friends back then. So many good memories! 🧡
What an exceptional gentle man and friend who will be greatly missed. Other than our “political “discussions, I never heard him speak ill of anyone. Jason was so kind and thoughtful and possessed such a tender soul and softness of heart. It was an honor to call him my friend. Fly high Jason as you are greeted by your Dad & sister and embraced by God and his heavenly Angels. I love you.
