We lost 2ndovc

[TedH]

I regret to inform you all that Jason fell very ill, and passed away in the hospital on January 6th. I had been communicating with him, but my last message in December had gone unanswered until today when his ex wife responded and gave me the news.

[JBowen]

Sad news. Prayers for the family.

Thank You Ted, I sent Him a P.M. here about eight weeks ago. no response. I regret never getting to know Him better. our paths nearly crossed several times. His divorce was heartbreaking. Prayers Up for Jason.

[JimT]

Thank you for letting us know. If you communicate with the family send them our condolences and prayers.

[OldWin]

So sorry to hear this. God Speed sir.

[Blaine]

Jason and I were close friends on Facebook. A finer gentleman you couldn't find. Always a kind word or a funny joke. He was a "oner".
At the end I know that the family he valued and loved were his beloved dogs.
Evie was the new Cane Corso, and I'm sorry I don't recall the names of his other two little buddies. More than anything I hope they found good and loving homes.

RIP. Prayers for his family.

Good grief ---

We PM'ed a number of times due to our very similar occupation (Independent insurance adjuster's)

We are both similar age (im 54 and i think Jason was 56? - something like that) and roughly at the same point in our careers (i consider myself "semi retired" )

Other similarities are we both have an affinity for 10mm 1911's that preceded the current 10mm trend

I'll miss his contributions here and am sad that i never got up to Ohio for a visit --- seemed like a solid dude.

[Ysabel Kid]

This is heartbreaking. I enjoyed every one of Jason's posts, and even more our private exchanges. He was representative of the caliber of the folks here and why I look forward to any chance to stop and visit. He will be missed.

Prayers up my friend.

I did put a note in my "when I die" folder that has insurance information and all that sort of stuff, for my wife, that she should post here that I croaked.

Since I'm pretty anti-social in the traditional sense, this place is my 'hangout' - probably the equivalent of the Moose lodge or Lions club or even the local bar, for many guys.

At least when I 'visit' here I don't have to drive, don't need to drink, and don't even have to put pants on (....just had to leave you guys with THAT visual... ).

For whatever reason though - this really IS a collection of a fine bunch of folks, from so many places and walks of life, who share basic American values.

[High Desert Hunter]

May he rest in peace, my condolences to his family.
