Jason Craig Scott

Jason passed peacefully in Laura’s arms, his loving family by his side, knowing to the very last second how deeply he was loved.

Much loved husband of 23 years to Laura (Howell), and cherished father to Myles and MaryJane, both at home

Jason was born May 7, 1970 in the Borough of York (Toronto), Ontario to Anne Scott (2021)

They later moved to Scarborough, where he spent his formative years attending Woburn Collegiate Institute and The DeVry Institute.

At age 30, Jason moved to Guelph. He built a remarkable career as an IT wizard in Toronto’s financial industry, working with many companies over more than 30 years. He loved his commute back to his beloved city and the world he thrived in—he had a skyscraper soul. His work allowed him to see the world, and his tales of travel were always entertaining, with the opening of the London, England office standing out as a career highlight.

As much as he loved the big city, Jason didn’t want to raise his family there. In true Jason fashion, he decided he wanted a house and found himself in Guelph—a city where he knew no one but had passed through on adventures with friends.

The stars must have been perfectly aligned, because he met Laura. They were engaged just 4½ weeks later and celebrated 23 wonderful years of marriage on October 19th. Soulmates.

Nothing made Jason happier than sitting on the front porch of his home with his family, beloved pets, and a good drink in hand. He took immense pride in what he had created with Laura.

Jason loved sports—basketball and hockey most of all—and he never wavered in cheering for his Toronto teams. He loved camping with friends and, later, with his family; the stories were endless and always grew with each telling, but we never tired of hearing them.

We were a road trip family, spending countless hours driving, exploring, and creating adventures together.

Music was another passion. Jason saw every heavy metal band he could—Ronnie James Dio and Ozzy Osbourne holding top spots—and eventually came to share Laura’s love of Blue Rodeo. Together, they traveled to concerts, met amazing lifelong friends, and made memories that will last forever.

Being a father was Jason’s greatest joy, nothing made him prouder than Myles and MaryJane. He was always loving, supportive, patient, and kind—listening, advising, and cheering on his children every step of the way. He was their biggest fan and will continue to watch over them always.

Jason was the balance in our family—his sense of humour could fix any situation, often with a silly song or inappropriate joke that would have us laughing until tears rolled down our cheeks. He never fought; he just loved. He was simply the best man you could ever know, and his loss leaves a tremendous hole in our hearts.

Jason lived with Multiple Sclerosis for 25 years and never once complained or asked, “Why me?” He never gave up or let his illness define him. If he fell, he’d throw the horns when he got up. He taught us patience and reminded us that when you walk slower, you see more. He is our hero.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our close friends, who are our family. Laura’s work places, their compassion and support won’t be forgotten. To Dr. LoStracco, Dr Jichici, Dr. Graham and Emma, the Guelph Fire Department, and his entire PSW care team—thank you for the years of kindness and care you gave him. Jason worked with the Trillium Gift of Life Network before his passing, ensuring his organs would save lives.

Cremation has taken place.

As per Jason’s wishes, there will be no formal funeral. A Celebration of Life will be held—or as he said, “Please have a hell of a party on my birthday.”

Please keep May 7th, 2026 open.

Oh my Lovey, I love you enough to let you go. We’ll meet again—always, forever, and beyond.
