Amy’s Remembrance
I always thought of Jay as a creative and spiritual soul. So much so, he might have thought I was crazy for buying him self-reflection type books on Christmas every year. I knew he deeply wanted to connect with his spiritual side and all I could think of was giving him a book to read. Sure we hung out a lot and he loved spending time with the kids, but I knew there was always something else he wanted to connect with as well. He would go outside and work on the wonders of nature until his yard looked perfect. The kids would play in the foreground of his manicured garden and you knew he was happiest there. Throw in some bags and BBQ with family and good friends and it was a good day for Jason – daddy, son, uncle, brother, husband. Loving him was so easy and missing him is so hard.

Jason was the print rep for the firm I work at. I only knew Jason for about a year, but it was long enough to understand what a great person he was. He had a genuine and indelible kindness to him. On press checks, he always spoke so fondly of his family and children. After visiting with Jason, you felt to yourself: the world needs more people like Jason.
The loss of Jason was immediately felt. I’m sure I speak for all of Jason’s clients when I say he will be missed dearly, and I can only imagine the void in his family’s lives. My heart goes out to you all.
