My deepest sympathy to his family. My husband lost his brave battle with colon cancer last year. He was only 43. Brad worked with Jason at Sherwin Williams and I will never forget Jason coming to Brad's funeral and what a kind understanding gentleman he was. May you know that I am praying for you all and my heart aches for your loss. God Bless.

I also worked with Jason at SW. He was a new assistant at the Douglas store when I started training there. He taught me a lot about the business but even more about how to treat other people. What a great example he was. He will be missed. Love thoughts and prayers to the family and friends including my SW family.

I knew Jason through my former husband, Matt Anderson. Much like Dan Licht, Matt started out under Jason's wing at Sherwin Williams. Jason always had a kind and fun-loving attitude, and was a generous host whenever we were together. Matt thought highly of Jason, and so did I. Even though I have not seen Jason in the years after my divorce, I was still deeply saddened and tearful when Matt told me of the accident and Jason's passing. When I look at Jason's picture, I hear his hearty laugh. Peace and comfort to his friends and family, with confidence through Christ that we will see him again.

As a Sherwin Williams Corporate auditor I had the opportunity to work with Jason for a week each year for over 10 years. Jason and I became friends and spent a great deal of time talking about family, friends, dreams and sometimes problems. I developed great respect and admiration for Jason's commitment, dedication, and love he expressed for his family. Especially his children. I pray the knowledge of this deep love and commitment will lift his children for the rest of their lives. May God Bless and keep each of you.

Jason was my first manager when I started at Sherwin Williams. He taught me a lot about the business and more importantly about life. I'll miss our Bears - Vikings rivalry & late night meat lovers pizzas. His personality and friendship will be greatly missed, but his legacy will live on forever. Sue, John, Paul, Sandy, Sara, Anna, Erika, Natalie, Justin, and Joey, my deepest condolences go out to you all.

It's hard to express the grief that I've been experiencing when I heard about Jason's tragic accident that's resulted in his passing. I spent many years visiting him at his Sherwin Williams Store where he always could be counted on to help in any way that he could. He was positive and helpful. He will be missed. I mourn his loss.

My deepest sympathy to everyone who knew and loved Jason. He was instrumental in helping me when I started my interior decorating business and he always took time to help me, my customers, my family members, and anybody I sent in to see him at the paint stores. I was incredibly blessed to know and enjoy his friendship for 10 years. May you find peace and comfort in knowing his positive spirit impacted many during his all to brief life, and May God bless you during your time of sorrow.
