Jason Chandler Wynn, 38, of Peoria, Arizona passed away while surrounded by his family on Friday, March 23, 2018 due to complications of congenital heart disease following a prolonged illness. Jason was born on October 29, 1979 in Phoenix, Arizona to Mark and Cindy (Chandler) Wynn. He graduated from Ironwood High School, received a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, and attended the Physician Assistant graduate program at Philadelphia University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On August 16, 2013 in Portland, Oregon, he was married to Sara Murphy. Jason lived a full life while gracefully managing congenital heart disease. He was a lifelong learner, passionate about music, sports, and history. Always taking the time to connect with those he met, Jason touched lives everywhere he went. His strength, knowledge, sense of humor, and friendship will be missed by many.
Jason is survived by his wife and parents as well as many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, nephews and a niece. He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Martin & Barbara Wynn and Bruce & Jo Chandler, and his cousin, Danny McBroom.
A Celebration of Jason's life will be held in the coming weeks. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Phoenix Children's Hospital, http://www.phoenixchildrens.org. Special thanks to the countless doctors, nurses and therapists who helped Jason live his best life.

"Ok, where to begin...
There was a challenge you faced from the get go, we didn?t know right away,
I would come over to your house on my lunch hour, walking distance away, and marvel at the tiny person you were.
Maybe have a LIGHT beer,(don?t judge me!)
But you were so perfect !!
I did give you your first haircut , not sure if your parents ever forgave me, it was the 80?s after all.
Jason defied gravity,
No matter what was shoved his way, he concurred it,
He defied gravity
As a child he was, funny, smart, all those things an aunt would say,
But he really was,
He became that adult, met the love of his life, changed so many people
It was an honor to have been in his presence for the way too short time he was with us
I miss you so much,
Hug Danny for me??"
