Jason T. Penansky

Live free, play hard and ride fast, that was Jason's motto. Jason loved his toys. Countless dirtbikes and sportbikes, then he became the proud owner of his first Harley. Anything that would give him a rush, he wanted to do it.

It didn't matter what he was into. When he was into it, it was 110%. He loved to be in the water. Whether it was on a surfboard, a wakeboard or floating down the beach.

He started out as a mason's apprentice and quickly moved up that ladder. He went to school at UTI for automotive and graduated with honors and a 4.0. Thankfully, his father (who was his BFF) was able to see him graduate and be at his graduation.

In a very short time, Jason went from mechanic to assistant manager to running the Midas Shop in Altamonte.

Whenever Jason set his mind to something, he accomplished it like a pro. He loved his family more than anything in the world. His girls were his life. Taking on the responsibility of a 2 year old and 9 year old at the age of 18 was remarkable.

My family embraced him into our family, loved him unconditionally and he became close with everyone. His family welcomed me and my kids with open arms and open minds. They treated my kids as though they were his because that's how he felt. He loved his baby sister like no other. His family meant the world to him and he always want to make them proud.

Die hard Bears fan, loved FSU and just loved life. He touched many lives and made huge impacts on so many and he didn't even realize he was doing it. He will be greatly missed and forever loved.

Rest in Peace Jason.
