Suzy,
I am so sad to learn about Jason's death. He is much too young and vital to be taken, but...he is now at peace with God. May you and all your family find comfort and peace in God's love.

Sorry to hear about this. I always found Jason to be quick with a smile or laugh. Kind and good hearted. He was a conscientious firefighter and paramedic.

To Jason's family. I was his Captain when he left Duncanville FD. I will remember his wit and he always had a smile on his face. He never shirked a duty and I enjoyed having him as part of my shift. So sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts are with you.

So saddened to hear about Jason. We were good friends many years ago when worked together at Rural/Metro Dallas and Arlington, and at Arlington Memorial. While we didn't talk often any more, he still texted me every year to say Happy Mothers Day. He was a wonderful person with a beautiful spirit. He will be missed. Love ya JD...(I still think of you every time I hear a Stevie Nicks song!)

It's hard to believe that you are gone. So many memories running through my head from our time together. I stop and think about my friends and family at time like this and always wonder if I am making the effort to love, stay in touch, or just be a good friend. I am sorry we never could connect and hang out as much as we would have liked to. My thoughts and prayers go out to any and all of your family. You were a great guy Jason. I hope you knew that in the end. I know you are running Heaven like a boot camp as we speak. We are forever family. You are missed and loved by more people then you will ever know. Semper Fi Devil Dog! Until we meet again.
