Kelli-
I have always loved you like a sister, and now I am so saddened for you and your family as this chapter closes. You have all been thru so much together, and I have always admired your strength thru everything you faced as a family, and your devotion to each other. The two of you were truly the definition of ‘for better or for worse, in sickness and in health’. I hope you find comfort during your time of sadness and loss, and are able to feel joy again one day soon. Jason will live on thru your wonderful children. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Kelli, Zach, Gavin, & Eli: We wanted you to know you are in our thoughts and in our hearts. What we remember most about Jason is his smile…it was contagious and so encouraging, and he always had a kind word for us. You truly are an example of a loving, devoted family. We know Isaiah 41:10 will prove to be true in your case. You have our deepest sympathy and love.
Gary & Janice: Our hearts go out to you…its so unnatural and painful to loose a child…a beautiful child who was so loved. As for parents, I believe Jason had 2 of the best. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you.
Meggan, Lance, & Jaxon: We are so sorry for your loss…to loose a brother you loved dearly and were so close to. Please know we are thinking of you…wish we could be there for all of you. Our lives are enriched because of knowing all your family. We love & miss you all.

To all the family members of Jason DeBoard. Our family understands what it feels like to lose someone and we feel very sad for your loss. Jason was a wonderful person and will be missed by many. But very soon the words quoted at Rev. 21:3/4 will be realized: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind . . . And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Imagine—humans being released from death, and the pain and outcry it causes gone forever! At last, Jehovah’s original purpose for the earth and humankind will reach its glorious fulfillment.—Genesis 1:27, 28. But for today, please know that you are in our thoughts and our prayers.

I remember Jason’s smile, seems not that long ago we were children playing at James and Carol’s, just being kids without a care.
We love you all.

To Jason’s sister Meggan,
I was out at the cemetery when you came to visit your brother. I am glad I got to meet you.
I hope your good memories of the time you spent with your brother will help comfort you and be your strength.
