He worked for CJ Bio but he enjoyed fishing, camping and traveling the world. He spent as much of his free time that he could with his "Little Pinto Bean", his granddaughter Yareli. He could also be found riding his new Harley. Jason could always make you smile, no matter the situation. His smile lit up the room every time he entered it. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends. Memorials may be left to family discretion. The family requests that anyone with any pictures of Jason please bring them to the Celebration of Life on Saturday for a project the family is putting together.
