Jason Lester Lader

November 19, 1977 – May 13, 2025

With deep sorrow and profound love, we announce the passing of Jason Lader, a devoted father, cherished partner, beloved son, loyal brother, and proud uncle. Jason was born on Saturday, November 19, 1977, in Mesa, Arizona, and passed away on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, surrounded by the love of those dearest to him.

Jason’s life was a testament to the power and meaning of family. He lived with an open heart, a deep sense of loyalty, and a quiet strength that shaped each of his relationships and left an indelible mark on those who knew him. Jason loved everything with wheels. It started with skateboarding, then to BMX Bicycles, motorcycles, and finally cars. His love of cars began with a 1963 Chevy Biscayne, with the shifter on the column and a hole in the floor. It was the first of hundreds of cars he would own. Jason would create LEX Offroad, a custom metal fabrication company specializing in high-quality off-road parts for trucks and SUVs and Always Talking Trash, a company that manufactures cost effective trash containers.

His greatest joy in life was being a father to his daughter Kaydence, whose presence filled him with immeasurable pride and purpose. Jason is survived by his loving girlfriend, Chrissy Stewart, whose companionship brought the peace and warmth he had been looking for his whole life. Jason will also be deeply missed by his mother and stepfather, Meryl and Robert Briscoe, by his brother and sister-in-law, Josh and Miri, and their children Zoey, Eliana, and Avi. Jason was adored by his nieces and nephew, who were blessed to have shared many moments of joy and laughter with him. Jason will also be missed by his aunt, Irene Lader and uncles, Loren and Robert Schneiderman. He was preceded in death by his father, Mark Lader, whose memory Jason honored throughout his life.

Those closest to Jason knew him as a man of quiet wisdom, quick wit, and unwavering dedication. He was the one you could count on for a thoughtful text, a steady presence in times of need, and heartfelt support in life’s everyday moments.

While we mourn his loss, we also celebrate the life he lived and the deep connections he cultivated with those around him. Jason’s legacy lives on in the strength of the family he loved so fiercely.

A service will be held for family and friends to honor and remember Jason’s life will be held on Sunday, May 18th at 9am at Temple Emanual of Tempe, 5801 S. Rural Road.

In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to the Male Breast Cancer Alliance at https://mbcglobalalliance.org/donate/.

May his memory forever be a blessing.
