Jason has left to cherish his memory of several close friends that he thought of as family. Nick Koon, Jason idealized you. You came into his life at a low time and helped lift him up, gave him purpose to keep going! Even through his tribulations, you were a constant for him. The fishing trips to Nags Head were the highlight of his life in the last few years. We will always be thankful for you showing Jason unconditional friendship and love. Jason was an avid fisherman. He loved the water and tried to spend as much time there catching his favorite fish, the Cobia. He valued his time in Hatteras, he could catch a shark on the beach without effort. Jason was not picky about where he fished if there was a place to throw a line and hook that is where Jason’s heart and soul were at peace. He called it his Church. The river, ocean, and lakes will never be the same again without him.
Jason’s services are in the care of Affinity Funeral Service Richmond Chapel. The family will receive friends from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 30, 2023, with a memorial service to follow at 11 a.m. at Affinity Funeral Service, 2720 Enterprise Pkwy, Richmond, VA 23294. The interment will be private.
A reception will be held at the home of Jennifer and William Hauser following the service.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to attend Jason’s celebration of life service to show your devotion and love for Jason.
Jason sweetheart, you left us way too soon. I grieve for you nephew. You deserved to be part of so much more. I am certain though that the Lord was there, with your mother by His side, to greet and welcome you home; to your eternal peace. Rest easy now Jason. The rest of us will miss you dearly but know we will never forget you.
God bless you and God bless our family. May God comfort each of us through our loss.
Much love to all!
Jennifer- We understand that even though you know Jason is at peace and no longer in pain we understand the emptiness you feel. We will keep you and your family in our prayers as you grieve for the loss of your little brother and pray that in time you will find peace and healing as Jason will always being walking with you and looking over you from his favorite fishing spot in the heavens.
Jennifer, We are so very sorry to hear of Jason’s passing. I know how much you loved your brother and what a bond you had. Praying for you and your family during this time.
