I worked with Jason at La Salle in the IT department for the past 2 and a half years. He was hired during a time when we were all working remotely, so most of our interactions were through a computer screen. Still, it was clear how great of a guy he was. He was always quick with a joke, and eager to help out, even when he was doing something new. His passion and enthusiasm were refreshing. He will be sorely missed.
ReplyDeleteI was shocked and deeply saddened to hear about Jason's passing. I only met him in person a few times, but I remember his easy, infectious laugh and the kindness and generosity he showed toward others. I can't think of Jason without thinking of his smile, good humor, and good will. He will be missed by so many. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteIt really hurt to hear of Jason's passing. Our condolences to his wife & kids, Rosie & Monica, our thoughts & prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteMay the Perpetual light shine upon him.
Arizona family,

I am so sad to hear about Jason's passing. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. I worked with Jason at La Salle University. We recently worked on a project together. He was such a bright light and I really enjoyed getting to know him. We shared favorite movie quotes and laughed a lot that day. It is just not fair that he was taken so soon. My prayers are with his family and all who loved him. I will always smile when I think of him.
