    Elementary school memory: My daughter, Taylor Felker, would skip recess sometimes so that she could sit and have lunch with Jason. He had a presence about him that was calming and profound even then. I am joyful that he went on to touch hundreds of lives and never stop achieving successes.

    Jason attended the Before and After School program I helped run. His courage and inner strength were inspirational to all who had the privilege to meet him. I remember his sense of humor most of all. He was always making others laugh and was such a joy to be around. He definitely made an impression on us and will be greatly missed. My sincerest condolences go out to his family and loved ones.
