As a child, Jason was attracted to video games and electronic devices.  This transitioned to a livelihood as a contractor doing a wide variety of jobs that included wiring electronics and sound systems.  He was the technical partner for the Unique Blends DJ Service that provides music, lighting, and photo booths at events.  His casual lifestyle was characterized by his tie-dyed attire and, as part of the Unique Blends brand, Jason created tie-dyed clothing for sale.  He was truly in his element tromping through the woods seeking mushrooms and fishing in numerous area lakes and streams.  Jason’s personality was a unique blend, itself.  His friends know him as good-hearted, generous, and patient.  He was a devoted, loving father.  The memory of Jason will live forever in our hearts!
