I can't remember exactly when or where I met Jason. It seems that I sorta met him and the rest of the "Pit Rats" , at the same time, probably at the Knights of Columbus. It was him, Troy, Danny & David , Willy, Pat and Gus.. I thought those 'kids' were pretty cool, even though they were just a few years younger than me. Myself and Ralph would often go pick them all up on my huge Galaxy 500, and go to a gig or party. I still remember cruising Kings Canyon with them all, blasting English Dogs out of my cars crappy speakers. Those were fun times. Jason and Troy were pretty quiet and reserved, all of that group were/are great friends, even though I don't see them that often. We've all moved on in life but we still share that love for Punk Rock. I'm glad I got to chill with you a few times here and there over the last few years brother. You will be missed , and remembered. FCHC !

I can’t believe that this very special man is gone and there will not be any visits from him ever again. I loved this gentle and caring man so much. I met Jason through a mutual friend Rico. The two of them were such good friends and it was always great when they would come by to visit. Always laughing and telling stories Each and every time I saw Jason he would pat me on the shoulder and ask if I was ok? Always asking me, a single person, if there was something I needed done around my house that he could help me with. He was genuine and one of the sweetest and nicest guys I have ever known.
My love and prayers to his family during this time and the days ahead .

I am Jason's uncle Steve. I loved Jason and Jason loved me. We had a special relationship - one of understanding, openess, caring and mutual respect - a true friendship. We often met for breakfast and talked about life in this dark, crazy world. Jason had such a huge, caring heart for others, but not so much for himself. We often talked of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. I began sharing Scriptures with Jason and uncle Ron. Jason replied often that he liked this one or that one.
One in particular comes to mind that I hope will comfort comfort all family and friends: John 1:12 NKJV - "As many as received Him [Jesus Christ], to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name."
Jason received and believed in the Name of Jesus Christ - the name that is above every name, the only name by which man must be saved. Amen and amen! 🙏 Jason is this moment in heaven with God and the Lord Jesus Christ, where there is no more tears or pain or sorrow or death. Amen and amen! 🙏
I love you, Jason, and will see you again one day... ❤

Jason,
I just want to thank you for all you did for our family in the last 50 years, for helping my dad with his many special projects you were always there with a smile to lend a helping hand or a piece of machinery. From my grammar school years to my adulthood, you always went out of your way to shake hands, ask about how the family was doing, and just make sure we were cool. I was always so amazed at how you could speak to people from all walks of life. You always helped where help was needed and were sincerely happy to hear when things were going well with us. So, with a heavy hearts we say goodbye and that we are very proud to have had such an amazing neighbor and friend as you. Your memory will live on in our hearts. One love -FAMILY-
On behalf of the Mata Family

Jason,
It’s been one week and a half since you’ve been gone and I still can’t bring myself to go to your house and see the family, I’ve been petrified to see Sid because I know that I’m gonna lose it.
The most prevalent picture that pops in my head these days is being at Fremont Elementary and you riding up on your bicycle not wanting anything significant, just being you. And that’s how you remained in life; always a presence with a kind soul, always offering kind and supportive words.
You were the best dad to Sidney that anyone could have ever wished for, she is a unique and amazing woman, for that I am eternally grateful. For your constant friendship, I am eternally grateful. For the light that kept shining through your soul no matter what was going on in your mind, I am eternally grateful.
It was your time to go but I know that you are still around us, you are at peace now and we will see you again

We have received inquiries regarding a service for Jason
At this time a service is not planned. I can tell you that our home is always open and we welcome anybody who would like to come by. We do encourage friends to get together and remember Jason in their way. We love the photos and stories that are posted to the memorial page Sidney created for him.
The photos and stories everyone has shared have been wonderful. We thank you for sharing. It means so much to all of us.
