From his mom:
“Jason was 6 years old when he and his brothers entered my life.With a new husband and 5 boys sometimes things got a little rough but Jason was the peacemaker. He was the one that I could count on for the truth.And he would even ‘fess up if it was him!My last visit with him was on Easter’04.We talked of the past and the future.He told me of the great time he had in Spain.He talked of Iraq and the need for us to be there,he was a good soldier.He had the same smile at 20 that he had at 6.He was always happy to be in Camp Arkansas.When he knew that we were going to sell the house and divorce it affected him as much as it did his father and me!!He wanted us to let him buy the house when he grew up.Now and for always he will be in Camp,the place he always loved.Jason also has 2 older(ex) step-brothers Johnny Johnson and Danny Johnson who morn the loss of a brother and a nephew JD Major (11)who remembers an uncle who played with him and helped him hunt Easter eggs.Jason’s memory sustains us all.Jason’s short life touched us all and his death changed us forever.God’s will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.”
