"Having a loved one taken so early in life is an event we as humans cannot prepare for. LIFE is what we live for, AFTER LIFE is an action we will never have knowledge about until it's our time. Embrace our lives and live for today because tomorrow may never come. I can only pray Jason had many memorable events in his life that only he himself can be proud of and treasure. You will be missed but you will live forever in others."
