My dearest Jason. You were a treasure. I will miss you.  To Carolyn, sending you love. You’re an amazing mother.

Jason and I were born just a couple of weeks apart. We were the youngest in our kindergarten class, and we both ended up repeating it the following year — and that's when we became inseparable. From then until into our teens, Jason and I were absolute best friends. We had endless adventures and the most fun two kids could possibly have. Jason was a solid and loyal friend, always — but life ended up taking us in different directions, as it often does. Time went fast.

Oh Jason, I always thought I might bump into you at some point over the years when I happened to be visiting Louisville. I know that won't happen now. It's been so long, and now that you're gone, I miss you more than ever. I wish you knew that I never forgot you — not one birthday went by without me thinking of my old friend. I will always remember your huge heart, your amazing spirit, and the best of times with you back in those days. Farewell, Jason.

Your forever friend,
Ben

You always said this was one of the best days of your life when I came to visit you  in  Maine.

Carolyn, I am so sorry for your loss. I’ll be praying for you during this difficult time.

Oysters on the half shell. We always took full advantage of the cuisine.

Camping in Slidell Louisiana at a KOA which we did for years attending the jazz festivals. We eventually figured out the hotels were a better option.

One of the many years of the New Orleans jazz festival we attended between 1996-2005. We would always go to the festival, then drive down to Pensacola Florida and relax for a few days. We did this for many years.

Jason, it's Micky...aka Jenn. I'm at a total loss hearing your no longer here Fritz. I gave you that nickname in 8th grade. You were my bestest friend thru middle school n even got in major trouble running away to come see me in Cincinnati with Tim. We hung again yrs later as adults when I had training in Frankfort n you roadied to keep me company n sprung in wearing a Robin Hood hat. I love you so much n life won't be the same without you. Till we meet again Fritz♥️

No man will ever be perfect ..... Jason and I both had our struggles and I think that's why we hit it off like we had, pretty much instantly. We first met while working for WingZone somewhere around three and a half to four years ago. This guy was a super smart individual, as well as one of the funniest people I've met. He was quite the character ..... Full of energy and he had no problem helping someone that needed it. He was just an all around solid guy with a great heart. Especially when it came to his cats. There's no doubt they were his world. Although we had only known one another for the past four years or so, we hung out quite a bit. 
He was one of .... and honestly, probably the best friend I've had in my life. He always came through for me over and over anytime I was down and in need and I just hope that he actually knew how much I truly appreciated how awesome he was as a friend and that I'm thankful that we ended up crossing paths how we did. Such a solid person, gone way too soon, who will be missed by many. Thanks for being my friend, brother. C'ya whenever my time comes around. R.I.P Jason ..... Gonna miss you, man. 
All of my prayers go out to Jason's family. I am really sorry for you'll and this loss.
     
        Your heart-strickened friend, 
                                                                 BARRY
