ABOUT JASON

He was one of a kind

I need you to understand who Jason was before I ask you for anything.

Jason C. Moody was 20 years old. He was my nephew. He was the eldest child and the eldest grandson in our family, and he wore both of those titles like they were made for him. Old soul. That is the only way to describe him. He moved through life with a steady hand and a cool demeanor that most people twice his age are still working on.

He had a smile that was impossible not to return. Dimpled. Wide. The kind that showed up before he even said a word. His laugh was contagious and when Jason thought something was funny, everybody in the room was laughing too. He was charming without working at it. Well-mannered in a way that was just who he was. Quiet when he wanted to be, present when it mattered, and loyal to the people he loved without question.

He loved music. He had taste. He appreciated quality and the finer things, but more than anything Jason loved his family. He adored his father, Jason Sr. That relationship was something special to witness. And he carried his mother Carol with him every single day, even after she passed. He never stopped loving her. He never stopped honoring her. You could feel her in him.

Jason knew he was loved. And every person who had the privilege of knowing him knew they were loved by him too. That is not a small thing. That is everything.

-- Jason Moody Sr., Father

There is something about losing Jason that is especially heavy because he had already walked through loss himself. He knew grief. He knew what it meant to keep going anyway. And he did. He kept going with that same smile, that same steady cool, that same loyalty to his people.

Now he is gone. And our only comfort is believing that he is with his mother again.

WHY WE ARE HERE

Help us give Jason the homegoing he deserves

My brother Jason Sr. has already buried Jason's mother; now he has to bury their son.

I am not going to dress that up. That is the reality of what this family is living right now. And the last thing Jason Sr. should have to carry on top of that grief is financial pressure. He should be able to grieve his son. He should be able to hold his family close and remember Jason without the weight of what this costs bearing down on him.

That is why I created this page. Funeral and burial costs are real, they are immediate, and they fell on this family without warning. We are asking for your help so that Jason gets a proper homegoing and his father can focus on what matters.

Every dollar raised goes directly to Jason Sr. No middleman. Just people who loved Jason or love this family, showing up the way Jason always showed up for the people he cared about.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES

• Full burial service including funeral home, preparation, and ceremony

• Cemetery burial plot, opening and closing fees

• Headstone and permanent memorial marker

• Death certificates and required documentation

• Family travel and coordination expenses

• Remaining support for Jason Sr. and the family during this time

Jason Sr. wants you to know

Jason was my firstborn. He was my son, my pride, and my purpose. I do not have the words to tell you what he meant to me and to this family. We loved him with everything we had and he gave that love right back every single day. We are asking for your support to help us lay him to rest with dignity and to honor a young man whose life, though short, was full of beauty, love, and meaning. Thank you for being here with us.

-- Jason Moody Sr., Father

The Moody family is grateful for every prayer, every kind message, and every contribution. This means more than we can say.

SERVICE DETAILS

Arrangements are pending

We are actively working through the arrangements for Jason's service. Once a date, time, and location are confirmed we will update this page. Please follow along for that information and share this page in the meantime.

Give in Jason's name

Whatever you are able to give, it matters. Ten dollars or a thousand, your contribution tells this family that Jason's life was worth something to this world. And if you cannot give, please share. A share is just as powerful as a donation right now.

Rest well, Jay. You are with your mom now.

We love you and we got you.
