As Jason’s cousin, it brings so much warmth to our family’s hearts to see such an outpouring of condolensces from the music community. Our family is so deeply saddened by the loss. Jason brought so much joy to all of our lives for 36 years and we pray his soul is now free of pain. His friend Michael put it best…”Jason suffered from a chronic and seemingly incurable pain. He had a seriously debilitating condition known as tinnitus and hypercusis that was brought about by extreme sound exposure; a result of playing in bands most of his life without protection for his ears. The nerve damage was severe and irreversible. Recently it had become even more acute. He held out for as long as he could and lived as he died. With grace and indefatigable courage. Jason was open to the simplest beauties of the world and never could stop being enraged at what fouled it.” Thank you again, to all of you that knew Jason personally or through his music. He will never be forgotten.

Wow… that is really a kick in the head. Jason was one of the first people to ever take a listen to my music and share thoughts with each other. He said he would listen to my tapes on the way to work in his car… RIP brother.
