    Mr. and Mrs. Butch Borneman says:
    Jason always greeted us at both of Leon's restaurants. He always had a kind word and a smile in spite of his busy job. Often he would come by our table and chat. We would catch him up on the latest and he would answer our questions about his life. We were there for his wedding reception and couldn't wait to hear when his son came into this world. He showed us pictures of his wife and son. We looked forward to his handsome face calling us my name . He was like another of our children. Our prayer for you is that Our Lord Jesus Christ will comfort you in your sorrows at the death of Jason; let your faith be your consolation and eternal life your hope! Butch and Mae Borneman
