Mary, I imagine there is no pain more far reaching and deeper than losing a child. Jason was such an inspiration and loved by many. My heart and prayers go out to you at this most difficult time. I pray that God grants you the strength to get through the days ahead. Sending you prayers of comfort.
All of Javelina Nation joins the Garcia family in mourning the loss of Jason.
Our deepest condolences to Jason’s family. May the Lord give you strength and peace during this time. RIP Jason.
Jason, even though I didn’t know you for that long. I immediately knew you were a great guy. You always came to work with a smile and left with a smile. You will be missed buddy but you are in a better place. Its not good bye. Just see you later. To the Garcia family, my deepest and heart felt condolences.
