I was shocked and heartbroken to hear of Jason’s passing not long ago. It saddens me that such a warm-hearted, generous, and extremely healthy guy could leave us so young. Every time I saw Jason, he had the biggest smile. He was always down for a good time, and his enthusiasm for life showed it. Although I haven’t seen Jason in some time, I always thought of him and our close friends regularly, which always brings me a smile. The memories I have of Jason are now etched in my mind forever. I will always cherish the time we spent together. Jason is one guy we will never forget. I wish his family and friend the best in these times of sadness. Jason, may you rest in peace.

Pam I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Jason. I was shocked to hear of this just recently and sorry for the late reply. He was a great man I always like Jason when we worked together in Alliston. He will be definitely missed by a lot of us at the shipping yard. I would of been at the visitation if I had known but I haven’t worked their in 4 years. Your kids I’m sure will miss their father a lot and you will to. Anyways take care and remember all the memories you and the kids have shared.

Mark Jones says
Throughout elementary school, high school and university, Jason was my best friend. There was never a moment that this kind soul didn’t have a smile on his face. I will never forget the fun we had exploring the area where we grew up, whether it was the annual creek runs, wrecking cars and bikes in someone’s back forty or building road blocks to water balloon school buses as they drove by, there was always some fun to be had. I’m so sorry for the loss that everyone feels right now and Jay, you will be missed.
Oliver Welscher says
Such sad news. I will always remember Jason’s smiles & laughs in the hallways of Banting High School. A great guy who I know many will miss him & be saddened by his passing.
To Pamela, Evan & Brayden your Husband & Dad was a great guy. Our hearts go out to you during this difficult time. Please let me know if you need anything.

RIP

Dear Pam, Evan and Brayden ♥️ We are all so incredibly sorry for your loss, I’m heart crushed for you. Jason was a fighter and he fought his cancer like a true champ. I admire him and the entire family so much for continuing to find joy and happiness through this fight. He battled, never giving up and won the gift of time, sadly it wasn’t long enough. I’m glad he was able to see his boys start on their own path in life and what amazing young men you’ve raised. Wishing you all our love and know we are here for you.
Love the Spolly’s

Dear Pamela and family,
We are deeply saddened by the news about the passing of Jason. We are so very sorry. This must be a very difficult time for you all. Please remember that you are in our my thoughts and our prayers.
Jason was such a kind soul, who will be greatly be missed by all who knew him. We remember the time when we got stuck in our own driveway due to a snow storm and Jason was there to our rescue with his tractor and blade. Jason couldn’t stop laughing at us being the vehicle we drive we should have been able to get out without his help. We couldn’t help but laugh ourselves.
We know how much you will miss Jason, but you can take comfort and strength from the wonderful family you and he had together. I know their love will get you through this difficult time.
May God bless you and your family during this time and always.
Sincerely, Kelly & Russell George

Jay is going to be missed, many a day in our superman, blue twisted steal younger versions we worked out on the wrestling mats and reminiscing about some of MMA favorites. Jason would perfectly mimic a quirky smile that “Tank” Abbott would do as he would do a head lock on a guy.! Of course, once we started laughing we knew training was over..! Brother, you are going to be missed. Condolences for your family.
