Jason was a resident of North Little Rock, Arkansas, and a graduate of McAlester High School.

Jason was extremely intelligent and had an incredible memory. He is remembered for his intellect, humor, and charm.

Jason loved music and loved to sing. He enjoyed making others laugh and had a special talent for it. He could imitate nearly any cartoon character and delighted in performing his voice-acting skills for his nieces and nephews. He also always had a faithful canine companion by his side.

Most of all, Jason loved his family and friends. He held a deep love for his parents. He and his siblings were inseparable and were always there for one another from a very young age. No one loved his nieces and nephews more than Jason. He had a tender heart. Jason loved God and recognized his need for Him. His laugh, his blue eyes, and his unwavering love will be deeply missed.
