Jason,   
   Today was a day of many memories of times throughout  your life, of  being very proud of you,  of many fun and special times,  of your talents, your laugh,  and your gentle spirit. All of how much I love and miss you, as you  are now at peace. Until then,
 I Love You very much.
Mom

Love you, Jason 

Miss you too. Heaven must be a beautiful place for you to be 

You are never forgotten.

Love, Auntie Paula 💖

Hey buddy- I just now learned of your passing. We were besties in the 1990’s and used to ride our BMX all over the valley. We would save our money for Records etc. and sour gumballs. It’s our 30 year high school reunion and I just realized that you won’t be there. I was looking forward to connecting again. I hope you’re in a better place- with Corey B and Rachel G. Sending love to your family and giving you a giant hug in heaven. Love from Heather O’Brien- 8th grade bestie.

Happy Birthday Jason,  I miss you  very much,.. all of who you are, your amazing music and poetry...,. all of who you became, and were from very young. To my sweet, beautiful son,... I Love You as always Really Big,... until then. 
Love, Mom.

Happy Birthday Jason,

I miss kayaking with you in Kauai and your loving presence. Sending my love to you in heaven. 
You are never forgotten by those who knew you and loved you 😘🥳

Love you,
Auntie Paula

Dear Jason,
  I miss you and Love You "Very Big" as always and forever. Finally after 8 years the US is beginning  to shift in a positive direction  as we had been told and had high hopes for all along. It is snowing here today at your house. Mom has left Florida and is moving to somewhere in yes, Wichita to be close to Vanessa. God has arranged this, which is clearly His plan. And no, Ma will not be living in your basement.  
I Love You Honey,.. until then.

Merry Christmas Jason....I said a prayer at church tonight for Vanessa, your Dad, Kat and your Mom whom I know miss you very much.  Your sweet smile has always been a blessing. I miss you as well.

Love you,
Aunt Paula ❤️💚

Toni, 
This past week I received a visit from Jason in my dream. He was dapper in a suit, thin and trim, tight shaved head, wearing a bigger smile than you could imagine with eyes full of pure joy and happiness. Your son is true love, care, and kindness. He and I will forever be bonded through metal and fire, and I carry his memory on my shoulder. The B we share reminds me of JB every time I look in the mirror. He will always be with me, as he is with you.
Love,
Brian

My Dearest Jason, 
   Yes Mom knows yesterday was the 12th. Your laugh and smile  along with many talents are greatly missed. I am so proud of who you grew up to be. I miss you and our long talks, and  will Love You "Really Big" forever. 
I am comforted knowing you are at peace now. 
We are learning time is not as we thought, so until then Jas. 
Love, Mom

Hello Love,

It has been seven years. This day is still so hard. Know you are still very missed, so loved and we all look forward to the day we see you again.  

Love and Miss you so much.
Ness

Jason,

You were such a sweet and special nephew. I have fond memories of kayaking in Kauai with you. As well other memories. I think of you and smile while knowing we will meet again one day. 🩵

Love you,
Aunt Paula 

Dear Jason,  Most of the time it doesn't seem possible it has been  5 years of missing your voice, your laughter,  time  together,  and  all of who you are. My memories of all  have kept you close in my heart. I am thankful for the peace you now have, while I miss you  very much.  Time is a strange experience, as it varies in how long we perceive it  has been since you were still with us. I have a very happy  picture  of you and Vanessa  as the screen saver on my phone. Seeing your smiling face, and being so happy together  helps me thru my days.

I Love You and miss you very much.,

Sending you Love today and always, Mom

Joe, I remember the days Jason was downloading all the music he can from Napstar even during the night when the office was closed and you notifyed  that and you were exceeding the band with that was part of the agreement with our rent for the office at Los Olivos and he told you he would cut back, but he did when you were in t5he office.

Happy 5 year Angelversary love. In my heart,  mind and soul,  today, everyday, and always.  Miss you so very much.  Love you, Ness 

Thank you all for your thoughts and kind words shared about our son.
Joe and Toni

So sad to hear of this news.

He always had the best curls and smile to light up a classroom. 
We were fortunate enough to go to HS with him in Santa Ynez.

Rest well and in peace. 
Comforts to friends and family 

I just learned today that my junior high and high school friend Jason has passed.  My deepest condolences to his family.  I am extremely sad we all lost touch.  I have thought a lot about him over the years and I will never forget what a kind-hearted young man he was.

Happy 43rd Birthday Jason!
  This will be the most awesome year in history, as we enter our New Enlightened World, bringing amazement and joy to All. 
I Love and Miss You!
Mom

Happy Birthday Jason!
    I miss you very much. Your laughter I hold dearly,  and is with me always.
  I love you,
  Mom

Dear Jason,
   As our Angel of 3 years now, my wish is you are writing poetry, playing bass, enjoying the beach, along with new new interests. And I imagine, a dream for you to be shooting hoops with Kobe. Enjoy your true paradise honey. I miss you very, very much, and look forward to being there with you. I Love You "Really Big".
Love, Mom

Dear Jason, Today is Christmas Eve, the night we traditionally celebrated  Christmas together.  Christmas is now about Merry Christmas wishes to you Jason.  I now look forward to when we are sharing Christmas together again. I Love and miss you very much, today at Christmas and every day.
Love, Mom

Thinking of you Love on your Birthday. Have a wonderful day in Heaven! Love you and miss you and wishing you a beautiful birthday.

Yours Always
Vernesser.  
XOXOXOXOX forever. 

My Dear Jason..,,, Today on the 2nd anniversary of your departure,... I am without words to express how empty and sad life is without you here with us. I know you will never experience pain or suffering again, which is a relief. I had so many hopes and dreams for you and your future with Vanessa.
    If only,... to hear you laugh, to hear you play your bass, to hear a new poem, just to talk and tell you I Love you,.......if only.
Until then,... I will be waiting to see you there Jason,  to  be reunited and share with you,...to let you  know how much I Love you. 
I Love You "Really Big" Jas!
Love, Mom



"If you ask yourself when the pain will stop, it will not. But the pain will change with every passing day, and you will grow with it and learn to get used to it. If the pain becomes unbearable sometimes, that’s alright. It’s not a sign of weakness but of your never-ending love."


Still hurts after two years...I love you, I miss you, I can’t wait to see you again.

Always in my heart love.

Till we meet again.

Love you 

Ness



Another fantasy baseball title for Trilly Ripken! Just thought you should know, skip. I think about you all the time. Hope you're sharing your knuckle ball secrets with Satchel Paige right now :) Or showing Pistol Pete your patented Teleport Pass! :D Love you, Jason.

HI Love,
Not sure anyone will see this anymore. Doesn’t matter.  Its your 17 month Angelversary and I still miss you so much. Miss your smile, your wit, your loud Bass playing in the basement, keeping me awake. Miss your questions, your jokes, your stories about mom and dad, your stories about you and your friends, the impeccable way you fold laundry, I even miss the Bukowski voice impression that drove me crazy,  Miss every single thing.  Until I see you on the flip side. I’ll Love you until my heart stops beating.

Ness

Jason, I Love and miss you very much.
Love You Really Big!

Hi Love, It’s Thirteen months.  Happy Angelversary. Just want you to know I love you, thinking of you and miss you so very much. It’s hard with out you, but know you are here with me all the time. I’m just too dense to sense you sometimes. ;) Keep coming, I really like it when you get through. :) I know you played those two songs in a row for me yesterday.   Made me happy and made me cry at the same time.  LOVE YOU ALWAYS
Vernesser

Dear Love, 
It's been one year. One full revolution around the sun without you by my side.  I wonder how many more until we are reunited.   I want you to know how much I miss you, how much I love you, how proud I am of you.  Please hear these words, I say them almost daily. I wish I had better words to express my feelings, but you were the great poet of the family. You touched so many of us, you made us laugh, you made us think, you made us know how deep love can be for another person.  Love never dies. I know this because I feel your love even now.  It has to be true, because where there is deep grief, there is deep love.  And i don't think I have ever grieved so much.  I send my kisses & hugs to the heavens and hope you get them all. I LOVE YOU JASON! Happy One year Angelversary. Your Vernesser.

Your light is protected now,.. never to dim unable to blow out,.... being constantly protected by God,.... with Angels about you,.... enjoy  my son. Love, Mom

Dear Jason, Today, the 1 year anniversary of your journey to your "Ultimate Paradise", Heaven. Your peace and comfort there are how mom has any relief without you.Time has changed for us here now,... some days seem like it was only yesterday we spoke and laughed together,.... while others feel as though it has been even longer than a year. I long to hear your voice and laughter,... look into your big "baby blues", hear you play your bass. Time for us now is about waiting,.. waiting to be with you again. Always remember I miss and Love you every minute of every day. Sending hugs and kisses to my Baby.  Love, Mom

Eleven. What can I say on your 11 month Angelversary that I haven't said in the last entries. I feel sadness, loneliness, and anger still.  Time is supposed to heal wounds, and although I do not cry everyday any longer,  I think of you first thing in the morning, through my days, and each night.  Not sure how I can do this without you by my side Jas. I know you are in God's Kingdom and in perfect health. peace and beauty. In that I find comfort. One day I will meet you there. Until then, see you in my dreams, and know I Love you forever! Big Big Hugs and Kisses to you my love. Miss you. Ness

My dear Jason, we find ourselves in December on the 12th,  missing you now for 10 months with Christmas approaching. I will be with Vanessa as we  share together in celebrating our love for you and with you. Being there in your home with you both, will be the meaning of Christmas for me this year. As you are now at peace, may God bless us here with his grace of peace. Your laughter and conversations I hold dearly. I Love You so much Jas, and miss you every moment. Love, Mom

Hello Love.  Last months message did not post for some reason. I'm so sorry. It's 10 months since you went to be with God.  It's December and it is especially difficult this time of year to rejoice. I breathe in, I breathe out, put one foot in front of the other.  I long for the day we reunite on the other side. I miss your laugh, your teasing, your smile, just everything about you.  You are my Love light and Music and I miss all of our fun times.  Know I will Love you forever. One day Love, One day.  
your
Vernesser

Hello Jason, Today is an especially difficult day for mom, being without you now for 9 mos.,.. and reflecting back to waiting the same 9 mos. for you to be born.  I couldn't have asked for a sweeter, more gently, kind loving child and son. Who by the way, grew up to be the same man, he was as a child. I could not be prouder of you Jason, nor could I Love you more than I always have, and do now. Now I can only look forward to being with you again. I Love You!!!, and will miss you every moment until we are together again.
Mom

Jason,

You were a sweet, innocent and loving soul. I loved you. And feel the pain of your loss almost every day and share the pain of the rest of your family.

I have not been one to post as I know how private you were. Social media was not your thing. Not mine either.

You feel all of us. You see us every day and know how we miss you.

I know I talk to you. And hey it is just me.. your later in life step Mom. I loved you and miss all the love that you gave to all of us. 

You were and are an incredibly talented man. I know you are living all those talents above and beyond. We are just not there to share that and appreciate it, but we will again, and there will be no end. We will all rejoice in your eternal presence. We may have to wait, but we will start where we left off and never have skipped a beat.

You are alive every day in our hearts and you know it.

As us, you are in wait if when we see eachother again in the perfect world that you see before you. 

And I know you are there.

Love you and look forward to seeing you again when Our Lord has destined.

Kat❤

Hello my Love, Sorry this is late, but you know because you were with  me on my trip.  I just Love you so much and miss you so much.  It still feels unreal.  I know you are with me, your mom and your dad.  I see the signs and feel your presence.  Please continue to visit. We all need your spirit to survive the loneliness. You are a gift that can never be replaced.  I look forward to the day we meet again. ALL my Love is yours. Vernesser

Hoping all of you are finding some peace day by day. Some days you barely hold on. Some days you just get by. Some days you are okay. Remember that no matter how difficult the days can be that Jason's spirit is there next to you. There are no words that will heal the heartache you feel. Just knowing that others are there for you is sometimes your only outlet. So, I want you all to know that I am always praying for each and every one of you. 
Matthew 5:4  Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Aloha my son...I miss more with each passing day but a smile comes across me knowing you are at peace playing and writing music with best now.  I know someday we'll be united again and that gives me the hope to get through these days.  There is not a turn I make or thing I do that reminds me of you, that breast care free attitude and smile.  I love you dearly and until me see again     Love Dad

Hi Honey! I Love and miss You so Much. Today is the 8th month without you here with us. Life without you will never be the same, though our love will never change. We will continue to enjoy you here on earth, until we are together again. Love every day and Always,...Mom

As today represents the 7th month without you, I am very proud of the man you have become, and as a musician and accomplished poet. I miss you very much,.. your sense of humor and laughter, your smile. I awaite seeing and being with you again Jason. I know you are at peace now in heaven.  I Love You always "Really Big" Jas! Love Mom

Hi Love, Tomorrow its seven months. I want you to know how very much I Love you, how very proud I am of the man you were on earth, and how very proud of the Angel you now are.  Love, Light and Music,  Big Hugs and Lots of Kisses.  Your Vernesser. Miss you so very much.

i love you so much, my friend. you inspire me to keep creating art and pushing for bigger & better.

Half a year. How can it already be 6 months. It feels like 6 hours and yet like a lifetime. Somedays I think it will be okay and other days i feel like I can not make it without you.  I know you see me I know you hear my prayers.  Please know I love you and love never dies.  I will see you again on the other side.  I LOVE AND MISS your handsome face and your silly sense of humor. You always did bring me Love, Light and Music.  Happy Angelversary Love.    Ness

Today, 6 months after you left us, I am comforted knowing you are in heaven.  I  am sad,  and will forever  miss and Love you every day, more than you could imagine. We will continue to celebrate your life,  the Love and happiness your brought us, as we keep you close in our hearts.   Love, Mom

Love, you have been an Angel now for five months. I miss you so very much.  You were my Angel on Earth, now I ask you to watch over me, your mom and dad and your fur kids.  There are no words to express my sadness at your passing. I rejoice in knowing you are in heaven and all is well with your soul.  I LOVE YOU JASON! Ness

When we're awestruck from the blows life swings at us, we can allow the Bible to be like a calm voice in our ears as it corrects us, encourages us, and reassures us of God's love. John 3:16.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Carol

Prayers and condolences to all who were blessed to know you. Your father loved you and we love your father. Although we never got the chance to meet, we loved you through him. I pray for serenity and healing for your entire family. Gone much too soon. Rest in paradise.

I got your message, Joe. I'm very lucky to have gotten to know JJ in my life. email me at jimmynewstetter@gmail.com if you have a moment. Thank you for everything your family has ever done for me <3

Our Prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time..please take heart that your beloved is now in True Paradise...Hugs,Jack and Betnadette.

Joe
I advised our family in Ustica. Vito responded.

Caro Angelo
Mi spiace molto per la scomparsa di tuo nipote Jason. Lo ricordiamo con simpatia e effetto.
Condoglianze anche da parte della mis famiglia
Vito 

Dear Angelo
I am very sorry for the death of your Nephew Jason. We remember him with warmth and affection.
Also condolences from my family
Vito


Jason was lucky to have had all of you in his life. After meeting all of you through this unexpected tragedy, I know he was blessed in so many ways.  His soul continues to be kind and gentle. His talents are being used elsewhere.  His love for all of you is just "Under the Radar". It is there...but not seen in the physical sense. Words will never heal the pain you feel. Find peace in knowing that the sorrow you are feeling is the price your paying to have had Jason in your life. And in knowing this is only a temporary separation. My prayers are with you Vanessa, Toni, Joe, and Kat. Remember the good times.  Yesterday, we created a couple more.

Joe, Vanessa and family
My prayers are with you. My memory of Jason is of the time we spent together touring Italy in 2002 and ending with a visit to Ustica, our family's home island. We were known as the "Three Americanos".
Angelo Bertucci, Beaverton, Oregon

You are in our hearts forevermore.. Your sweet smile is a blessing to always remember...with love.

Jason is one of my best friends and greatest inspirations. I will keep creating art in his memory. <3

Toni, So very sorry for your loss. Having lost a daughter at the same age, I can empathize completely. A parent never expects to go before their child, but it is comforting to know that they could not be in a better place than where they are. You are and always have been in our daily prayers. Tell Venessa we are praying for comfort for her also.   Love you, Darrel and Cheryl

Prayers for the family, so sorry for your loss.

I am so very sorry for you loss.  I met Jason through Joe and he was such an awesome guy to talk to.  Low key and always smiling. May God grant him peace and give you and yours strength through this time!
Daniel Fort-Kauai

Toni, Vanessa and family,
Words cannot express our deep sadness for all of you.  At times like this you have to lean on your faith and try to accept that God has a bigger purpose for us.  May God give you His peace that passes all understanding, and may all the love and prayers that surround 
you give you strength.
Trusting in His care,

Dear Vanessa and Toni,
you are both in our hearts and prayers.  God promises to be near the broken hearted; i pray that you both will feel His presence very close during this  time of sorrow,  and that your hearts and minds will be filled with His peace that passes all understanding.
In Christ's love always,
Heidi, Diego and Pascual

Thinking of you everyday and wishing there was something I could do to take away your pain. Sending you many prayers, Vanessa!!

Vanessa,
When you go outside and look up at the night sky, do not be sad.  Rather...think of the stars as porch lights welcoming your loved one home.  You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Vanessa I am praying for you and your family and hope that with God's grace he will help bring peace to your heart and soul.

Vanessa, Joe, and Katalina, Our hearts break with you, you are all in our hearts and prayers that God's love will carry you through this time of grief. All our love, Brian and Alicia Rubadue

Vanessa,
No words can begin to take away your hurt.  Please know that you are loved by so many and being thought of often.  I pray that God will give you peace & help you through these difficult times.  
Jessie

Our condolences are with the family in this time of sorrow. 
Our prayers & wishes of strength are with the parents & 
Vanessa. May God be with all of you in the days ahead. 
Much Love To All of You. The Kerschen Family

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort......

Thoughts and Prayers from Aloha Roofing Supply.

May God's loving kindness and comfort help you and your family through this very sad time Psalms 29;11
