Kerri,
No words can comfort you at this time. It is so heart wrenching to understand why God would take Jason at such a prime time of his life.
I have never met Jason but everything I read tells me how fine of a Man he truly was.
Hold him tight in your heart and he will always be with you.
Your Sisters are here for you always.
Deepest condolences to you and your beautiful Family.
They say only the good die young. Tears fill my eyes to think of such a loss I can’t even begin to understand what you and your loved ones are going through.
Much Love and prayers through this tragic and difficult time.
Our heartfelt sympathy for you and your family. Jason was a wonderful man, always smiling and waving to us as we passed by. We are deeply sorry for your loss.
Your neighbors,
Jan and Rich
DEAREST loved ones. How very blessed we were to have had the chance to be a part of Jason’s life. He always welcomed everyone and made sure he spent time with all his guests. Jason was certainly a role model when it came to loving his family and friends. We will always hold such precious memories of him and he will forever be in our hearts. Until we meet again, we love you Jason.
I remember thinking at your wedding, now there’s a couple who’s so in love with each other. I got to Jason a bit at the MtgIT reunion right before the holidays. He and I were joking around. He had such a great sense of humor and the ridiculous! I’m so fortunate to get to know him better that night and to get one of his amazing hugs! None of the pat, pat, pat, but a full on hug of warmth and friendship. I believe he’s spreading his humor and hugs above.
Kerri,
I’m so Sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine what you must be going through right now. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Kerri,
I am profoundly sorry for your and your family’s loss. The service today was beautiful and very touching. Jason was truly one of those rare genuinely nice people that don’t come around very often. I had the pleasure of working with him and he had a wonderful knack of turning a bad day into a good one just by giving you one of his megawatt smiles. He will very much be missed by me and all the others he worked with at Flagstar. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Kerri and family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Cherish the memories of your beloved Jason. Find comfort in each other during the difficult hours,days, weeks and months ahead of you. Time will heal your wounds but time will never take away your wonderful memories.
Your SCCC sisters/supporters are always here for each of you. XO
My thoughts and prayers continue to go out to everyone that was touched by and that loved this wonderful man. I know that there are no words that can ease your pain but I pray that in time God will bring you peace.
Jason, I just want to say Thank You. Thank you for loving my dear friend, Kerri. Thank you for showing her and giving her the kind of love that she has ALWAYS deserved. The happiness that you brought to her was obvious and for that I am so very greatful. RIP My Friend
