I have been honored to have known Jason for the past 7 years. I’m just devastated & shocked about his recent passing. He was the only friend of mine to refer to me as “Angel” & say my face reminded him of a doll. =) He was always so sweet and genuine. We were very close friends all the way until the end. Jason was visiting me at my house just a couple of hours before his accident happened. During that time we talked about his joy for hotrods; his side business & what will happen w/it; his motorcycle and how important it was for him to keep his helmet on; how he looked forward to meeting his lovely Mom at Alive at Five; and the deep love he had for the girl in his life, Ashley. I will forever cherish our last conversation. I can only hope that you can find some comfort in knowing that you raised an awesome son who brought love & laughter to all of us. I am so sad to have to say goodbye to him, but will take great comfort in knowing that it will not be the last time we’ll see one another & that he will always be watching over us. You are forever in my heart Jason! I will enjoy every moment we shared together and will never forget you! I Miss You and I will Catch ya Later my Friend! =)
Love Always,
Your Dollfaced Angel <3

I was shocked and so saddened to hear of Jason’s passing. I just helped him at the bank Wednesday and he was so excited to head to Missoula to get his tattoo worked on. Jason always brought a smile to my face and had that love of life mixed with a little mischief in his eyes. Jase you will be sorely missed. Give my daughter Alyssa a hug up there will ya?

Teri Renville says
Dear Joanne, Doug, and Clint,
I am so sorry for your loss. I regret not knowing Jason the adult, but I remember, with love, Jason , the kid.My favorite memory is when he came to Great Falls to visit us and my Dad tried to teach him how to do a shallow dive into a swimming pool.Jason was so game to try, even though I could tell he was a little nervous.Oh my goodness! That dive! Big belly flop!We all grabbed our bellies, in sympathy, the minute he hit the water. He came up with a smile on his face, though. It was a weak smile, but a smile, all the same!He was pretty proud of himself for trying and deserved the kudos!It is a good memory, and one now that I will keep close to my heart.God Bless you all. You are in my prayers and thoughts. Much love, Teri

I was so sorry to learn of the loss of your son. It grips my heart to know what you’re going through right now.
You never expect something like this and it feels so unfair but know that he would want you all to be happy and to live a good life.
I have to tell myself that everyday since the death of my daughter almost 2 years ago.
Please know that you will be in my prayers and that I hope your hearts will feels some peace soon.
