His little sister joined him in 1982 and he immediately became her protector, friend and helper. School years let Jason’s personality grow as he developed many skills and friendships that he cherished dearly. Jason was a very kind, caring, and helpful young man. He worked at Russell throughout highschool. From mowing lawns, a chore he loved, to painting and cooking, Jason always took much pride in his work. When his driving years arrived, the Blazer became his prize possession. Jason graduated in 1997 from Major Pratt School. In 2000, he moved to Regina to attend SIAST and became an EMT. This is where he met his sweetie and soulmate, Jadda. Jason continued to devote himself to helping others in need. After graduation, Jason worked at Cupar, Canora and Preeceville for three years before he moved to Brandon to pursue his lifelong dream. In March, 2004, Jason began training to be a firefighter at the Manitoba Emergency Services College. During these last few years, Jason’s coworkers became his second family. We always knew how happy Jason was at school. He loved to come home on weekends to spend time with family and ride his bike with friends. He always managed to have enough love for all who needed him. Jason was predeceased by both his grandfathers, cousins Jim, Chris, and Ethan; and best friend Kelly. Left to mourn and cherish his memory are: his parents Bob and Sherry, little sister Jennifer (Mike), sweetie Jadda. Grandmas Lil Self and Gwen Buchberger, Great Grandma Lily Grube, many special aunts, uncles, and cousins, a special “sister” Michelle (George), god-daughter Sydney, many special coworkers, friends and everyone else whose life he touches with his special charm.
