Acevedo Family… I am so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know Jason but his obituary appeared on email. I read the beautiful things about him. My sincerest condolences. I know you treasured him and every single moment you had with him. Death is a terrible enemy to all of us… and when a young life is stolen from us the pain is unbearable. I know that in this painful time it is hard to find comfort, but I wanted to let you know that our God Jehovah sees your pain and your loss. He takes great interest in all of us, especially when we face death. He will soon do beautiful things for mankind, He will rid us of all sickness. Isaiah 33:24 tells us that no one will “I am sick.” He will also rid us of this long time enemy: death and of all suffering. Revelation 21:4 says “he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I hope that you and your family may take comfort in these promises that are soon to be fulfilled, especially the one found in John 5:28,29  where the “hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” Yes, our God Jehovah promises to bring our loved ones back into your arms. May you find strength and endurance in these promises. Again my sincerest condolences 💐.

TO MY DEAREST AND SWEETEST BOY - JASON

I don’t know how to express the profound sadness I feel for losing you

You must know that to be with you and enjoy our time together is all that ever mattered

Your love …the love that we shared was the kind that some can only dream of

Here, in this plane of existence we call Earth, we lost a great mind and a beautiful soul when you passed

But your spirit will live on and will continue to inspire others

The love and bond that we share will forever transcend all of time

We, for now, will grieve from our loss.

But although our grief will never end….it will change.

It’s a passage, not a place to stay, as you know.

It’s not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith

…it is the price of our love for you.

…a love and an unbroken bond between parent, child, sibling, friends and loved ones.

So for now, forgive us for grieving

For we miss you terribly, and I, for one…..will miss ….our conversations. 

MUNCHKIN’S TIMELINE:

- As a toddler I would call Jason “Munchkin” and as he grew into a pre-teen I shortened his nickname to “Munch”. I would call him that in public and among his friends and he always welcomed the nickname. His friends liked it too.

- Jason was homeschooled for most of his young life thus the milestone graduations from elementary school and Jr. high school never occurred.

- At age 5 Jason completed a level-entry martial arts training.

- At age 10 Jason learned how to play the drums by taking professional lessons that lasted approximately two years.

- At age 12 Jason completed an entry level scuba diving training.

- At age 15 Jason completed his preliminary Drivers Ed and was looking forward to getting his Driver’s permit at age 15 and a half.

- At age 15 he fulfilled his dream of test-driving a Tesla

Jason’s favorite color is Green. He was a computer wizard at a very early age and he self- taught himself to type 60 plus words a minute. Jason looooved Skittles and popcorn, but mostly Skittles. He would always have me by them or he would ask for them at the candy counter when we would go to the family-owned theater on Main St. at Angles Camp. We had many memories there watching a newly released Marvel movie like the Avengers, or Iron Man or Spider Man.

Jason and Dad would game together at almost every opportunity. We would sometimes work as a team in Mine Craft building things or sometimes as a team fighting aliens. Sometimes we would dual against each other as a form of fun competition and he would beat me almost every time. But we had sooooo much fun together. Our favorite games were Mine Craft and Halo. Many times I would enjoy watching him game with his friends Orion and Josh. Jason had a love for virtual games and would never pass the chance to show off his skills in virtual climbing, archery and saber duals.

Throughout his entire childhood up until his last days (at age 15) we would enjoy loooong telephone conversations together. And we would always end our telephone conversations with the traditional “ok Munch…I’m gonna wrap it up for now…he would say “o-k” and I would say: “here’s a big hug” I would make the big hug sound and he would make it back, followed by “Y un beso grande” (a big kiss) and he would make the sound back, just as loud (mmmmmmmua!). Then I would say “by” and he would say it back gently “bbbbby”. Sometimes I would say “Buenas Noches” and he would respond in kind: “Buenas Noches”. The call would than sadly end. How I miss those long conversations and our special good bye exchange of hugs and kisses. I love you Munch!!!  

Jason was and still is an angel that was sent from Heaven. As Jason's aunt, I am greiving because he is no longer with us physically, but as my brother, David, said, he is still with us, and if we pay attention, he will leave little signs letting us know that he's paid us a visit. My heart goes out to my brother, his daughters, Jessica and Dahlia and his cousin Nicholas, as well as the entire family. Jason will be a beautiful memory that will stay with us forever.
