Jason had one of the hugest hearts out of all the people in the world. He was the person whom anyone could call, and in a split second he would be there.

He hoped for peace and happiness in the world, and never had a harsh thing to say about anyone. His positivity was infectious and wanted to see the best in everything. For he felt peoples' pain and tried to walk in their shoes. Jason had no judgement to give to anyone, just love! May he fly high and have peace like he yearned for, this day and every day. God rest his gentle soul.
