Claire Estopinal & the loss of her beloved Jason

Anyone acquainted with Claire and Jason Estopinal can attest to their remarkable character and generosity. They have always extended their love and support to those around them. Twenty-eight years ago, we became neighbors and embarked on the journey of raising our children together, weathering both joyous moments and challenges side by side. Jason was the epitome of reliability; whenever assistance was required, he could be counted on to lend a hand, whether it involved fixing malfunctioning equipment or tackling a project.

Hailing from New Orleans, Jason had a deep-rooted passion for Cajun cuisine, which he joyously shared with friends and family through our cherished annual neighborhood Crawfish Boil. This tradition gained even greater significance following the heartbreaking loss of their son, Jason “JJ,” killed in action. Known as "Ears" among his fellow Marines, JJ will forever be remembered as a hero—a courageous and selfless individual honored and loved by all who served alongside him.

Now, as we face the impending loss of our beloved friend Jason to a silent battle with liver disease, which has rapidly progressed, we turn to our community for support. The burden of mounting medical expenses and other daunting financial obligations weighs heavily on Claire, their son Parker, his wife Nikki, and the entire family. We humbly request your assistance during this challenging time as we rally around Claire and her loved ones. Your contributions, prayers, and kindness are deeply appreciated. May blessings abound.
