    I took Jason's Poetry class in the fall 2015 semester. I did not know him well but he was a wonderful teacher and inspiration to me. He encouraged me and took extra time and effort to help me be successful in his class. When my mother in law passed he was so understanding and took time to talk to me during that most difficult time. My prayers are with him and his family. He was soft spoken and such a warm light-filled individual. Godspeed Jason. You will make a beautiful angel.
