In Loving Memory of Jason TeStrake

Donation protected
To meet Jason TeStrake, was to never forget him - his beaming smile drew you in like a magnet, and his giant bear hugs couldn't help but make you feel loved and safe. Jason (or Captain Grizzly, as he was known by many), was a craftsman, a lover of beer, an advocate of shorts in all weather, a cuddler, and one of the most passionate and determined individuals you could meet. Beloved by so many, Jason tragically and unexpectedly passed away on September 11, 2016. He leaves behind his wife, Jill, two young children, Gemma and Graeme, and countless family members and friends whose lives he touched forever.

Nothing can fill the holes left in our hearts, but those who love Jason can help his children to know him through our stories, pictures, and memories. We can also help ensure that Jill, Gemma, and Graeme have everything Jason would have wished for them in life through our financial support. Our goal is to raise $100,000 and all of the funds raised will go directly to Jill, and help ensure a great future for Gemma and Graeme. 

Please join us in remembering Jason and supporting those he loved most.
