I had the pleasure of reconnecting with Jason back in Sept. of 06. We went to H.S. together and he was one of the people I enjoyed being around the most. We were super into music, especially Led Zeppelin. We would always dork out over them...Oh! and Slayer! Jason had the best sense of humor! I can still hear his unique laugh. Whenever we'd meet in the hallway he'd add something funny to my last name like..Davenpoop. One of the many funny things, and a running joke between us, was about a guy who wore a big purple Pepe Jeans sweatshirt and from then on he was known as "Grimace" (McDonalds). What an amazing person! I can't wait to see him again...whole...and laughing at some mundane thing only he would think was funny. Ah man…I just found this out….

But in a different way. Jason was one of my Web and Graphic Design Students at the Institute of Technology. He was such a wonderful student, and he was so gifted. Not only was he a great musician, but a brilliant artist. He would work so hard in and out of class. I remember a few times helping him fix things on his Speakers for the Dead web site. He even invited my husband and I to his record signing. Saying "He's a big guy im sure with him there you'll fit right in!" Every once in a while there is that one student who you just connect with, and even though as a Teacher your said to touch lives. I believe that students do the same for their teachers. Jason did just that. I remember when his favorite guitarist passed away Dime Bag Darrel (im sure my spelling is off! ) how just totally upset he was, and we sat in class talking about music and what the death of that musician meant to him. He even needed to leave the room for a few minutes to gather his thoughts. I just was amazed at the passion Jason had for his music. Still sitting on my desk today is a bottle of Antibacterial hand lotion that I keep for my students because of Jason. I remember even pulling out a new pen for him just because he had a think about germs. In that aspect he reminded me so much of my best friend who was the same way, so I fully understand the need for those kinds of things. And lastly, up on my wall, sits a drawing Jason did, something that was up on the wall since he was in class . A robot man, He did some wonderful work, and Both myself and my co-worker Dennis were always so proud of every thing Jason did. I know he is missed by so many, But the memory of Jason will forever be with each and every single person he came into contact with even if it was for just a short time as it was for me.

When I first got to know you Denise, whenever I would come to visit, Jason would shy away in the back bedroom. He'd walk out every once and a while and say hello, smile a sweet smile with his eyes glanced downward and get what he needed and walk back. However, one night we were playing a game and he came out and played with us. He was so nice, not as shy, and he seemed to enjoy us and we enjoyed him. After that night, I got to know Jason better. We'd talk when I'd come over and he'd ask me if I needed anything to drink or whatever. He and my husband talked about music and stowed away in the study for hours and talked about guitars and music, since they had simliar tastes. He will not be forgotten by either of us. As a side note, I also want to commend you, Denise on how much you sacrified in taking care of the man you loved. You did so much for him. Not only did you take him for treatment and take care of him at his most ill, but you gave him precious time so that those who loved him could spend time with him. You fought so hard for him. I have to take a moment here and comment a little bit more about Denise. Denise would bend over backwards for those in need. She has done so for so many people and I know she will continue to do so as she moves throughout her own life. She is a good person, and someone who has made and will make a lasting contribution to this world. Throughout this year taking care of Jason, she has shown super-human strength and resilience, attributes that I truly can't imagine any one person having so much of. She was Jason's advocate. It shows here on this post where she asks people to remember this man that meant so much to her. These past months have been very difficult for her, I can't imagine how difficult and won't even try, and she deserves respect and compassion. Jason will be sorely missed Denise.
