Collins, Colorado; a sister, Sarah (Wesley) Saulsbury of Pittsburgh; several nieces and nephews; and his ex-wife, Shevaun Wacker, and her son Colin Wacker.

I will always remember his intelligence. His humor was off the cuff and sharp witted. Jason was an amazing person. I did get to ride on his bike with him once many years ago. It had a funny metal seat, I think he was still working on it. That's my finest memory, but there are many. So sad to hear of losing such a great person. You will be missed my friend.
Lots of prayers for the family.
God bless you

I Remember sitting alone outside one afternoon and Jay asked me if I was okay, I said "No I'm not". He responded by saying well sometimes it's okay to "Not be okay" But just know that not every day is free but Today You get to be present so you have a choice of how you're going to live it. Stick &Say he said and you'll be so Glad you did because it does get easier. His words made a difference in my life that day that I won't forget, Surely he will be missed.

Saddened to hear of the loss. Jason & I were part of a weekly men's group in recovery for a couple of years - before I moved away in '09. I recall a young man of droll wit and gentleness of spirit. I am sure he will be missed by many.

I met J 2 years ago at Zingermans Roastery where most mornings I was greeted by his beautiful smile and kind words. The last 2 days I was looking for his big white truck or gorgeous bike but unfortunately I knew he wasn't going to be there. It is just surreal! I had just saw him! How could he be gone? I send alot of love and prayers to his family, friends and all who will miss him in their lives! Rest my friend and I will see.you when I leave this earth also!
