Jason Alan Sekera

8-18-84 to 8-28-10

It is with great sadness and faith in God's plan that we mourn the loss of Jason Sekera, who passed away unexpectedly on August 28, 2010. Jason attended elementary and high school locally. Upon graduating from McKinleyville High School, he fulfilled his dream of becoming a US Marine at the age of 17. He spent most of his four year tour of duty as a member of the Special Security Force at Camp David. He also bravely served our country in Iraq. Corporal Sekera received a Presidential Service Certificate, of which he was most proud. Upon returning home, Jason was employed by PG&E. Everyone who came in contact with Jason was touched by his loving heart, his adventurous spirit and his ready smile. He will be sorely missed by his parents, Alan and Rosemary Sekera and his brothers, Nathan and Daniel, all of McKinleyville. Jason also leaves behind his grandmother, Esther Cervantes, and his large and loving extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He is preceded in death by his grandparents Joseph and Marjorie Sekera and his cousins Wayne and Samantha. Services will be held at 10:00 on Saturday, September 4th at Saint Joseph's Church, located at Henderson and C St., Eureka. Graveside services to immediately follow at Saint Mary's Cemetery, Arcata. Jason's departure leaves a hole in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. Please include him and his family in your prayers. Arrangements are under the care of Paul's Chapel, Arcata (707) 822-2445. Please visit www.paulschapel.com to sign our online guestbook.
