Just saw a post from WGXA about Jason. Sad to hear he has passed. Like many others have shared, I also worked some with Jason at Kroger. It was my first job and Jason was always helpful to everyone and a very good guy.

My name is Don Little, I have known Jason for many years when I would deliver drinks to Kroger! He was such a great guy, very easy to talk to and just a fine Christian person! I will really miss him!

Sis Mary, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Just hearing of Jason’s passing.
My first place of employment,I met & worked w Jason for years.

He had a kind spirit, willing to help & will be sadly missed. 

No eyes have seen, nor ears have heard what GOD has prepared for those that love him. 

Rest in peace brother

Sage, Mesa and Cade ,
 We are  heartbroken over this. Our thoughts and prayer’s are with all of you during this difficult time. We love Jason so much and will always  remember and cherish all the wonderful  memories that we all made together.  
                                                  We love you,
                                                Julie and Lindsey

Really sorry to hear about Jason’s passing. In the late 1970s while at Windsor Academy, he was a friend of my older brother Chuck and was a constant presence at my parents home. I remember convincing both of them to take me places in their cars and they always treated me like I was their age rather than five years their junior. I thought highly of Jason and wish peace for the family.

Our condolences to Mr. Brownlee's wife and family. It was a shock to see that he had passed away. We have good memories of him through the Kroger on Forsyth Rd. He was friendly and always helpful. We will miss him.  May he rest in Peace. Pauline and Tim O'Mahony

I’m so so sorry Jackie and family.  He was really special.

You will be missed Sir.  I went to Kroger today to complement Jason on how Forsyth Kroger is stocked and cared for after a visit to another store.
I was told that Jason had  passed.  My heart breaks for his Wife and family.   The store was very quiet and sad, he will be missed for his kindness by all,

Sad to hear about JB. I worked with him back in the eighties on the night crew. We kept in  touch for quite some time. Back then he loved two things. His fishing and that 72 nova. He will be missed in this world. He was a good man.

I’m saddened to hear of the passing of Jason Brownlee. I had the privilege of knowing and working with him for many years in middle Georgia. He was a truly genuine man, known for his love of fishing and for always catching the big ones. His years of service made a lasting impact on the customer experience and on those who worked alongside him. Sending peace and love to his family and fellow associates.

My condolences and prayers going to the Brownlee family. I worked at Kroger , but not in produce and knew Jason from working in store with him. He was one of the nicest and hardest workers I have ever seen. He had a great personality and sense of humor that everyone loved. He will surely be missed. He is now with God and at peace.

Jason was a good Man. My condolences go out to you all during this difficult time. Jason has so many people that love him and thought the world of him! He will be missed by many but not forgotten! Lean on the good times during this difficult time and thank the lord for all the time we had with him! 🙏🙏

I have been blessed to work with both Jason and Jackie for the last five years at Forsyth rd. Though it took me a minute to fully open up to either, Jackie and Jason have been two of my most trusted and reliable friends and co-workers. Jason ALWAYS started my day being both cheerful and welcoming which often ended with the latest tale of our “shared” pig Hagrid’s antics. I last spoke to Jason on Wednesday afternoon when he asked me what a box of corn looked like in his arms. I replied “a snack for Hagrid of course” he corrected me by saying no that’s your son’s treat. I replied back that’s your son now and he came back with “no, I’m just his step dad, that’s your son.” Lol, the man was a hoot and I’ll be forever grateful to him and Jackie taking Hagrid when I could no longer keep him and keeping me involved. I love you both so much and have truly been blessed to have known y’all❤️ God will not know what to do and will certainly have his hands full. All my love and prayers for you and your family.

Deepest sympathy and prayers for all. 🙏 Jason was my produce manager when I was Unit Manager on Gray Hwy, Kroger #328. Jason was always showing me pictures of the bass he would catch and it was plenty.  He never would give up his honey spot, just like a true fisherman, lol.  R.I.P.  Jason

I’ve known Jason most of my life. I grew up going to Kroger, my father, Gary also worked with him, my sister, Merritt did as well. I also worked with him when I worked in the floral department. He was always so kind, and always had a cheerful hello to everyone he met. He watched me and my sister grow up in Kroger, and he will always be remembered as a light and a kind soul who always brought positivity to the workplace and to his family and friends. We will miss you, Jason.

Jason was like a big brother to me. He took me under his wing at Kroger, taught me how to cut fruit to beauty and perfection, helped me through a divorce, showed me how to do an oil change on my Harley and even gave me his old white-wall tires and gaudy leather and concho doo-dads.  I never expected to not be able to say hello to him again but hopefully I will once I get to Heaven. Jackie, I am sending you hugs, love and light. He loved you so.  It was my honor to attend your wedding and have my first piece ever of Possum Cake. I am so sad and so  very sorry to hear about your loss :(

Jackie, I am so sorry.  You know ew what Jason meant to me.  He was the only person alive that I let call me by my first name.  We talked about that the last time I saw him.  So many memories with him that I am flooded with emotions.  He was more than just a friend.   He is an amazing guy and I am blessed to have learned so much from him.  I am so sorry.

Jason Brownlee, At the very least I’d say he was a great man, one whose presence always gave me strength. He not only taught me work skills like how to paint or how to sell produce, but he taught me life skills and was one who I looked to constantly for guidance. I worked for him at Kroger at store 355 on Forsyth Rd when I was in high school. He was the most charismatic and down to earth person I’d ever met. He had such a good way with people in general but his specialty was to guide boys into becoming men! I owe him so much of my success. He was truly a great man who had a passion for people. The phrase they don’t make them like that anymore truly applies to him. Jason, you will be deeply missed. I will cherish all the memories I have of all the good times we shared! Enjoy your seat at the table in heaven my friend!
