I really didn't know Jason very well - however, he did come to our house on occasion and interacted with the girls (Jessie, Sunita, etc.) on World Vision...  On those visits he was very quiet, polite and well mannered.  The group really respected his opinions, enjoyed his camaraderie and were grateful for his help.
   Jason walked like a young man that was happy, he often had a neat swagger that suggested he had a grip on life and was fully confident of the direction and path he was on.  He was so multitalented and eager to help and contribute, he touched many lives in Pinawa - adults as well as his peers.
   I miss seeing him drive up and park across the street - not more than a night before he left us, I commented to Steve that his curfew must have been 11pm - he was just driving off promptly at 11 as I was coming home late from the office.
   I think of his friends often and worry about you all and deeply hope you are all managing to find a way to cope with this tragedy.  This may sound funny, but not a day has passed that I haven't thought of his Mom, Dad and Nicole and hope that somehow they will be able to grasp life again and proceed.  I am sure Jason would want us all to cope, the best we can, and be thankful for his time with us.
   I cherish my few but wonderful memories of Jason - what a wonderful, son, brother and classmate.

The thing I remember doing the most when I was around Jason is laughing.  The most recent memory is on Halloween. The gun and the horse.  Jason and Nik thought Suzanne or Catherine had hidden the gun from them, while most of the time it was just sitting in my trick or treating bag.  At the pool we were laughing most of the time.  Usually it was at the troublemakers, we had to get back at them some how. Then there was the trip to Winnipeg when we had to go around in a circle like three times because we kept missing the exit.  I guess it was really my fault cause I told him to turn at the wrong spot, but we made it there eventually. Oh, one more thing.  Olympic sit-ups on the bike trip.  The funniest and grossest thing I have ever seen.
   Jason is also a person I admire very much.  He was one of the nicest people I knew.  Jason always included everyone and had a zillion friends.  Jason was a very truthful person and always spoke his mind. He was a very respected person and I will miss him very much.
   We all miss the wonderful, yet sometimes interesting snacks at youth group.  I never knew what to expect.  Jason was such a happy go lucky, fun loving guy.
   See you in heaven
     Amy
