Obituary
Our beloved Jason entered the world on April 14th, 1972 in a robust fashion that exemplified how he would live his life.
Jason spent most of his early life growing up in Bellingham, Washington. He had a determination that was evidenced when he first learned to ski. After three lessons, he was skiing the black diamond runs, leaving Mom and Dad still on the bunny slopes.
As he grew into a young man, he became a father to his only beautiful son, Jake.
Jason had a passion for the outdoors. He loved hunting and fishing and eventually moved to North Central Washington to be nearer to his father and step-mother, and to be closer to the natural beauty of the terrain he loved.
It was soon established that he had inherited a talent for welding from his father and grandfather. He obtained his certification and pursued a career as a welder.
Jason eventually moved to Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho and worked for several companies in the Spokane and Coeur d’ Alene areas where he made many new friends. He loved living in Idaho where he had access to explore the wilderness he so loved on his A.T.V.
Jason was a witty, loving, fun and generous man that brought joy to all who knew him.
Our dear Jason, although no farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.

Jason will always be part of our memories, memories that include his Grandmother Margaret playing with him as a child and enjoying “my grandson”, seeing Jason first riding a bike and then riding a horse. As time went by opportunities to visit Jason were limited based on our distance from Bellingham. BUT Dad would proudly keep us up to date via phone. Burial of Jason’s cremated remains on Grandma’s grave is most fitting and most meaningful to our family. Mom, give him a hug for all of us!

I best remember my nephew Jason at a very young age when Linda and Jim came back from Iowa for a short vacation from Palmer College. I took Jason down to the beach in south Bellingham where he promptly called Bellingham bay the (Mississippi) “River” with a big glowing smile. I tired hard to convince him that it wasn’t the river but he knew better… That memory has stuck with me all of my life. I didn’t have much contact with Jason in recent years but I know he grew up to be a fine young man. It is really sad his time with us was cut so short, but he blessed all of us with his glowing smile.

Jason, my main man…I am so sorry we lost you. It’s been a long while since I saw you last and I’m deeply sorry we hadn’t connected recently. You were both like a son to me growing up plus just one of my pals. I so enjoyed your company and the way you would laugh at all the stupid things I said (Moses Dog!!). We spent many a day salmon fishing or duck hunting or chasing deer or just wandering around on horse back in the wilderness. I watched you grow up and become a man. I kept track of you through your mom and dad but I wish I’d been able to hang out with you the last couple of years… I know we can’t get that time back, but I look forward to meeting up with you again a little further down the trail…You were a very important part of my life when I moved to Bellingham and I will never forget you. I truly miss you, man.
Vaya con Dios, my friend.

I want to express my sincerest condolences to all members of Jason’s family. I knew Jason from the time is was a toddler playing with my son. As he grew up into a young man, I watched Jim teach him about horses, hunting and the outdoors. He was truly a replica in so many ways of his father. I am so glad as I look back that Jim and Nancy included me in their lives and therefore I knew Jason thru them even when I had not seen him for awhile.
He was so deeply loved and the patience bestowed upon him by Jim and Nancy as he dealt with the changes in becoming an adult was amazing. Jason was so truly loved and he loved back, if only all human beings could possess and experience that in their lifetime. I will never forget that very unique voice.
May all of your memories bring you peace and he is truly being taken care of by our Father.
Love Nickee

I remember my nephew as always being friendly, kind, and cheerful. He had a way of making you feel special and that’s because you were important to him. Jason was full of love and that’s where he is now—with God.From Dan Elvig
