I've only met Jason about 8 times, I am married to Debbie ( madox) Blanchfield for 30 years so I know his parents Bonnie and Art, Jason was close to Debbie so I heard alot about him all great things, especially his daughter samantha who he loved dearly, everytime I met him he was kind and respectful the kind of guy you would like to have as a son or brother, he loved his parents and people in general not looking for trouble just trying to get through life. On his way out he brought joy and hope to others which shows what kind of human being he was .For the few years that I had met him I know he will be dearly missed by his family and friends. May he find total happiness and peace.
My heart goes out to you all .. Jason’s good nature, kindness and smile will always be remembered.
