Jason's Unforeseen Farewell

My brother Jason passed away unexpectedly at the age of 44 on April 28, 2024. An inventor at heart, he was a genius with all things technology and always knew how to “fix this” or “automate that”. Jason was known for his wit and dry sense of humor, and you could count on him to see any situation as an opportunity to make a hilarious yet understated observation. Jason was a trickster and loved playing pranks on his wife and me.

Jason had an absolute heart of gold. He hated pictures and parties but attended everything for everyone anyway. Pictures with him are especially special to us.

Jason leaves behind his wife of 14 years, Kelly, their fur babies Penny, Oliver, and Gadget, and his prized robot Astro. Jason and Kelly had been together for 23 years. He always told Kelly that he’d be around to take care of her and their babies, so no arrangements were necessary. His loss right now is an unimaginable shock.

In lieu of flowers, our family is asking for help to fund funeral expenses. This is not anything we'd imagine asking for, but I know in my heart that Jason would want nothing more than to be buried next to his grandpa, Vito. Vito was his role model. It would mean a lot to our family if we could make that happen. Jason's funeral and memorial service will be held on Monday, May 6. Details below.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any support you may be led to provide. Please continue to keep our family in your thoughts and prayers in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

If you prefer another way, Kelly has a cashapp at $smellykelly1015, or I can provide her information for meal help via DoorDash.
