Jason was born on April 13, 1989 in Dallas, Texas. He was a 2007 graduate of Plano West Senior High School, a 2009 graduate of Collin College with an A.S. degree, and a 2015 graduate of the University of North Texas with a B.S. degree. Jason was a long-term employee of the Marriott Corporation’s Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, where he worked in the Information Technology department.
At the age of 16 when Jason received his driver’s license, he made the selfless decision to be an organ donor. Since his passing, Jason has given the gift of sight and enhanced the lives of more than 70 people.

Hay, and stepsisters Gillian Salerno-Rebic and Charlotte O’Connor; grandparents Mary & Jerry Hay of Norwalk, Ohio, grandfather Roger Ballentine of Rowlett; dear friends Rodrigo Cantu and Mary K.
