Jason was born in Memphis, TN. He attended Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, TN and graduated from Christian Brothers College High School in St. Louis, MO. He and Lisa married in 1992. He served honorably for 5 years in the US Air Force and was a veteran of Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. He was assigned to Air Mobility Command at Scott Air Force Base and was also passionate about his service as a member of the Scott Air Force Base Honor Guard. After leaving the service and moving back to Bartlett, TN, Jason worked in the Information Technology field for 25 years at various companies in the Memphis area, most recently Baxter Healthcare. In 2001, Jason and Lisa welcomed their only daughter, Valerie, whom Jason adored. He spent many years supporting her in various academic and athletic endeavors. His wife and daughter will always remember how devoted he was as a husband and father. Valerie will miss their late-night debates, when he loved to give Valerie his thoughts on everything from world events to his theory on the best way to cook bacon. His storytelling was famous with family and friends, and you never knew when his quirky sense of humor would have everyone in stitches.
