Jason will be remembered by his contagious smile that lit up every room, his one of a kind personality, and the unending love he showed to everyone he met.  Jason never met a stranger and he would give you the shirt off his back. That’s just the person he was.  He was an outstanding athlete. He loved to play football, basketball, softball, and golf.  Jason played in a co-ed softball league in Knoxville.  The team’s name was ‘Where my Pitches’.  He was a frequent golfer and had a gift of gold. Jason could sell anything. He was a car salesman for years and had the dream to one day open his own car lot.

He was a member of Cowan Chapel United Methodist Church located in Kingston, TN where he was a member of the choir and loved to sing. He couldn’t hold a tune, but he would sing anyway and that’s what made him so much more special.
