Jason was born November 30, 1998 in Memphis, Tennessee. He is preceded in death by his adoptive mother, Sheryl Rooks. He is survived by his adoptive father Todd Rooks and stepmother Julie Rooks, grandmothers Carol Rooks and Eileen Sommer, sisters Rachel Rooks and Sarah Rooks Totten, and stepbrothers Christopher and Jonathan Chow. Jason and his twin sister Rachel were born at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital and struggled through many physical challenges together. Our Lord provided Jason a loving family, caregivers, and friends to shepherd him through life's struggles. Jason charmed everyone he met along the way with his gentle personality and contagious smile. He was bound to a wheelchair in life but is now healed and walking with Jesus in eternity.
