He always left a lasting impression whether you knew him for 5mins or 30yrs"...Another friend said "He was an amazing person whom every boy wanted to be like and every girl wanted to be with" There was not a dry eye.....Nobody could believe that 'Jonesy' was gone....We his family are at loss for words to describe the pain we are feeling....Jason is a much loved son..brother...grandson..uncle..nephew..cousin..and friend to so many.
