Jason Beecher Risk

There is a giant hole in the universe. Jason Beecher Risk has left us. He died on Aug 14th at 52. He was a lifelong resident of North Hollywood and, to the end, a Hollywood aficionado. He studied film at Cal State Northridge, had a long career at Fox Studios, and made his own films along the way. He was outdoorsy, with a healthy sense of adventure, and a deep, abiding love of Yosemite, which he referred to as his favorite place on Earth.

His warmth, generosity and long crazy stories will be missed by everyone who knew him, especially his wife, Sydnee and the amazing family they built together with their children Dean and Marion. His parents, David and Colleen, siblings Alicia, Alex, Emily and Brother-in law Steve Meaney, nieces Taylor and Avery, brother in-law Michael Lippman, his wife Melissa and nephew little Samuel miss him every day and continue to cherish all the great hikes, the epic joy, and long - ever so long - texts full of poems, inspiring quotes, and pictures - so many fun pictures.

In lieu of flowers please make a donation to something that connects you to Jason, or to the Jason Risk Memorial GoFundMe. It is the family's wish to make a donation to the preservation of Yosemite in Jason's honor, and if we achieve our goal we will be able to donate a park bench in Yosemite with a memorial plaque for all to visit. . https://gofund.me/a2390cf1
