I remember him coming over and whipping me and Nick's ass at Quake III
Last year sometime I was having a lot of personal problems, ones that I didn't share with anyone. I got an e-mail from him. It said that he could see something was wrong, and that he cared. He didn't push to get all the details, just let me know that he was there no matter what. I immediately e-mailed him, ranting and raving about how nothing was wrong with me, and that he should leave me alone. I continued writing e-mails to others, and just when I was about to leave, I noticed there was another new message from Wilzen. So, I read it, and no matter how mean I had been to him, he was patient with me. He just wouldn't stop saying that he cared, which isn't a shocker since we all know that he never just stopped caring. We continued sending e-mails back and forth for a LONG time that night, and that week, that month, etc, and he calmed me down, and helped me out. He is one of the few people I felt really understood that part of me, and I'm so glad that he had the patience to deal with me. I will miss him forever, and never forget that night.
It's taken me quite awhile, as you can tell, to come up with the right words to share my memories of Jason. And honestly, as you all probably know, there aren't enough words to describe what a super person Jason was. Just saying that he was a good friend, doesn't seem enough. He was a great person with an incredibly huge heart. He also was able to teach everyone something from his short time here with us. Just from reading the memories from all of you, seems to have taught me more about him. Because I moved away just as we reached the point where everyone got to get to know each other better, I never really got the chance to get as close to Jason as you guys but I feel I've learned alot more about him just from his memories. For me, most of all I remember his great spirit and how he was able to help anyone no matter what. If someone made fun of him one minute and the next minute they needed help, he was able to forgive them and help them. He also always did his best at everything that was put infront of him, no matter how stupid he looked. I remember band classes with him in grade 7. It was always so much fun. Jason and the 'pichinio' incident. He always told me I'd never live that one down. He knows what I'm talking about!! He never seemed to get mad at me either when I opened his spit-valve on him when he was playing.... Oh, band class used to be so much fun. In those fun e-mail surveys we all love, Jason always said that his goal was to play in a stage band or a swing band; maybe one day I'll do that for him and think of him. I think the biggest lesson Jason has taught me is to live life to the fullest and not take anything for granted. People always tell you to live life to the fullest but it never really takes a meaning until something like this happens. I like to think that God took Jason cause he felt he was needed in heaven. Jason was always a happy- kind of fella. Always made me smile. I knew he was someone I could count on to talk to when i needed to, good old e-mails. To think, in 16 years Jason was able to have a great impact on so many people's lives. He will for sure be missed, but not forgotten, by so many people. I know that even though he is not with us, he is watchin' over us, smilin' and laughin' with us, cryin' with us and just making sure we're alright, just as he always did when he was with us. Awhile ago I saw a shootin' star that seemed to go on forever, it didn't disappear right away as they usually do, and I thought of that saying: 'Everytime you see a shooting star, an angel get their wings'. I'm sure it was Jason. Now I know he's safe. "Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget." G. Randolf When Tomorrow Comes Miss Me-But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me. I want no rites in a gloom filled room. Why cry for a soul set free. Miss me a little-but not to long, And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me a little-But let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take And each must go alone. It`s all a part of the Master`s plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know. And bury your sorrows in doing good deed. Miss me-But let me go. ..author unknown.. w Starts Without Me When tomorrow starts without me And I'm not there to see If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry, The way you did today While thinking of the many things We didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, And each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an Angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, In Heaven far above And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye, For all my life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, And so much yet to do, It seemed almost impossible That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, I thought , just for awhile, I'd say goodbye and kiss you, And maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized That this could never be, For emptiness and memories Would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things That I'd miss, come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne, He said, "This is Eternity, And all that I have promised you. For today life on Earth is past, But here it starts anew. I promise no tomrrow, But today will always last, And since each day's the same day, There's no longing for the past. You have been so faithful, So trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things, You knew you shouldn't do. You have been forgiven And now at last you're free. So won't you take my hand, And share my life with me." So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart ........Author unknown.........
I can't describe my remembrance of Jason with one single memory. I knew him and was best friends with him since grade 1. But since it is a memory that you ask of me I will tell you one. My fondest memory of Jason would have to be... How he always cared how I felt and always cared how I was doing all the time. He was one of my only friends that actually cared about that. He was one of the most caring and loving people I ever met. That is the one thing I remember of him the most. He will be greatly missed. �Through God all things are made possible�
