Osterhoudt Family

On July 28th, 2019 Jayson Osterhoudt was taken from this world suddenly, unexpectedly without any warning.  Jayson was a loving husband, father, son, brother and mentor to so many people. Jayson had his start to life in Bowling Green, KY.  That is where the adventure began. Shortly after Jayson relocated to Phoenix, AZ where Jayson grew up. At the age of 18, Jayson met his amazing, adventurous and fun loving wife Jody. Jody was the fire to his match. The spark that started the flame. The glow to Jaysons eye.  From there, Jayson and Jody began a life of an amazing path. They lived life to the fullest. They embarked on a journey that would take them on a path that would bring them many adventures, uphill battles, trials and hardships, but they endured. Together, they became the proud and amazing parents to a son named Nikolas. Jayson and Jody got married and continued their incredible love story. Shortly after, they welcomed their second child, Patrick. Their journey took them to Bend, OR and then the family relocated to MD.  Jayson was an amazing man. Jayson spent his life continually learning and continuing a walk of many trades. Car salesman, electrician and as most know him, an amazing paramedic. Jayson lived his life continuing to help others. He touched the lives of many people. Not only those within his family, but his friends and his patients. Jayson was a mentor to many. Jayson lived to teach others. He was quick witted with sarcasm and his sharp tongue would make some feel uncomfortable, but it came with compassion at the end and ones self learned from the situation. Jayson was an amazing man who was taken from this world to soon. His foot print is huge that he left on the world. His actions and love touched the hearts and minds of so many. Jayson ended his life as a career firefighter/Paramedic for the Baltimore City Fire Dept. Previous to that, Jayson worked within Washington County, MD. Jayson strived to always be the best at what he did. His hands touched the world in so many ways, we all cant count. On July 28th, 2019, Jayson left this world suddenly and unexpectedly. Jayson had a medical emergency within his home. Jayson was transported to a local emergency room where he was pronounced. Jayson passed on leaving behind his loving wife Jody and two sons Nikolas and Patrick. The three of them left in a wake of shock. Unable to grasp the situation that just took place. Slowly gathering the pieces, they are beginning to have the after effects of this sudden change to what life has given them. The family is sifting through the debris of emotion and coming to terms with the events that unfolded. This family needs the help of friends, family and all those that are willing to lend a hand. The changes that are on the horizon or unimaginable in nature and are ones that nobody should be left to struggle with. This family will need assistance with a big income that is no longer present. Were looking to raise $5,000 for the assistance to daily expenses and unexpected financial  obligations. Jayson left this world unexpectedly, but he left it serving others. We look to assist this family, by coming together and helping them. As graciously and humbly as possible. They will need assistance getting back on their feet and continuing with their lives. We are wanting to prevent the financial responsibility from piling up and becoming a burden. This family has given so much to the world around them, its time for the world around them to provide a cushion for them. Wee thank you for your support. Any little bit is appreciated.
