Born on September 5, 1977, in Plantation, Florida, son of Robert Ash and the late Brandee (Jarnes) Ash, he was raised in Florida and moved to Boston to attend Northeastern University. After graduation, he began his professional career working for MFS in Boston. He later pursued his passion for construction project management, bringing his skills to Northboro Builders, Starbucks Corporation, and WS Development.
Outside of work he enjoyed trivia, history, art, music, cars, cooking, fitness, and spending time with his family and friends. He was best known for his dry humor and his generous, unwavering effort to help anyone in need. Most importantly, he was a dedicated and loving Dad and fought so hard to be able to spend more time with his son as he navigated high school.
He is survived by his wife, Jill Ash; his son, Brayden Ash; his father, Robert Ash; his sister, Norah Harris (Mark Harris); his nieces Madelyn and Jaylie; nephews Joshua and Angelo.
He is predeceased by his mother, Brandee Ash.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, August 6, at 1:00pm at Stanetsky Memorial Chapel, 1668 Beacon Street, Brookline MA 02445.
