To Jason: I didn’t deserve you. None of us did. You were so sweet, kind, thoughtful. Full of emotions. Too good for this Earth. Nonetheless, I’m still so incredibly thankful to have had you be a part of my life. I love you and will miss you always, until we meet again!! To Jason’s family: I’m so terribly sorry. I cannot fathom what you’re going through. My heart breaks for you in this time of sorrow. However, thank you. Thank you for giving all of us an amazing person to love and hope to see and love again ❤️ Rest in peace, Jason.

When I was freshman in high school, Jason and I had P.E. class together. It was in my freshman year that I came out gay. Jason did not treat me any differently and was very supportive to me if I was being bullied. I'm so sad to hear of his passing.
