My condolences to Jason's family. I first met Jason in downtown Boston and we would grab beers after work. We both worked in the same industry and had similar careers. I miss those days.  As our relationship grew, he helped me through my divorce and was a great friend and someone I would go to for advice. We would often go to one of his favorite pubs in Brookline, Grannie O'Malleys, and talk about life. He was truly a great friend.  RIP Jason

I don't have one particular story that really jumps out above the others, but one of my earliest memories of Jason and the first time I really remember hanging out with him was when he got his Audi in high school, and he and Ryan drove to my house, I remember thinking how nice the car was and how freeing it felt driving around or when he used to have a radio show at Nichols college during the summer and hanging out on a deserted college campus playing music, he had great taste!!  The first overnight i ever had at a college was going up to visit Jason in his freshman year at Wheaton, with Ryan and Steve, and while I don't remember all of that night, i was told that I had a great time!  More recently I think back to the convention he would go to annually in Newport, RI.  I would meet up with him a day or two that he was down here, and it always included oysters, beer and some laughs.  In fact the last time he was down here, we met some of his former co-workers (I believe) and it was my first time playing credit card roulette for the bill, he saved me though, since he invited me I didn't have to put my credit card in :-) There are so many other times that just slip into my mind randomly,  and most of my fondest memories of living in Boston, being young and doing what young people do include Jason.  Jason always seemed to have a positive outlook, was up for anything, being introverted I was always impressed with how at ease he was with everyone, how he genuinely seemed interested in any news or topics you discussed with him.  There is so much more, and he will be sorely missed by anyone that was lucky enough to have known him. My deepest condolences to his extraordinary family.

I've know Jason and his family since high school days at Marianapolis running with him on cross-country and track .  He was always a good spirit that wild light up our competitions and it was fun to see him compete in the high jump and pole vault. He will be missed and will always be remembered as that good guy who was always a joy to be around. May God bless his soul, his kids and his wife.

I hear his laugh and see his smiling face.  I know his loss is felt deeply by everyone. My deepest sympathies to you, Amelia, Colin and Abbey.  I know he will continue to live forever in your hearts.  RIP Jason

We only knew Jason for a short time but it felt like he was a long time friend.  He was a great guy and made a huge impact on our lives in Cape Cod.  Our deepest sympathies to Allison, Abbey and Colin.  RIP Jason you will surely be missed.
