He designed our kitchen cabinets. He was such a nice young man and so helpful. My prayers go out to his family and co-workers.
An online memorial – Jason would have approved. This is the perfect venue to post some thoughts to family & friends.
Try to picture Jason without a smile. You can’t,can you? The image just doesn’t take. As a 35 year old associate, I often admired the ambition of this 27 year old manager. Current events nonwithstanding, this guy was together! By the young age of 24, he had built a strong family, career and stock portfolio. You should have seen his personalized start up page on Yahoo – it was a masterpiece of organization. In my four years of working with him, I never once saw him down, negative or critical of anybody or anything. Could that have been the problem? Men do internalize stress. Shy ones more than most. Or perhaps,if your just ‘stuck in a moment you can’t get out of’ you can’t see how much beauty tommorrow holds. Whatever it was, we are not to know. Bottom line,we are all islands – some of us feel more cast away than others. The fact is, Jason was not alone. In all the years I knew him, not once did he talk to anyone with disrespect. Remember his hushed tone choosing words with care and precision? To supervise without offending anyone is nearly impossible. Jason pulled it off.
Last March, Jason and I spent 80 hours as reach truck partners receiving two million in freight for the Hendersonville store. Having many things in common, we could read each other’s mind silently communicating logistics. I will miss this mind link. I never read suicide in our link. Not for a second in four years.
As I look at my own six year old daughter, I want to help/comfort Rachel. Yet, anything I could say to Jason’s family would be trite words from a stranger in a very awkward situation. It’s hard to say anything at a visitation or funeral without putting your foot in your mouth. It’s all so surreal. All I can do is offer my Email to friends and family for comments or counselling. Search the web for support under keywords ‘grief’ or ‘suicide survivor’ and you’ll find years of assistance. Some of the best sites are:

My love to the departed and the survivors – because we are survivors in this wonderous dance of life.
