Jason and I worked together at the county jail before I left to move to another area of the state. I can always remember his sense of humor and great personality. He always had a kind word to say when you were not having a good night at work. He will truly be missed by many. God bless you in the upcoming days as you lay him to rest and I pray that your family will find peace in knowing that he was loved by many.
