Goodbye.

It's strange how easily life can be taken away. You always hear the stories of people who die before their time and how they were 'the life of the party' and 'everyones friend'. He really was, if you met him he would instantly become a best friend. He was one of those guys who you could open up to and always looked up too. The guy who went from being that kid who drag raced and dated numerous women, who always had a good story to tell and was up for a drink, to the man who had a wife and a son and spent his life helping everyone else around him.

It took one second. One second for him to end up on the wrong side of the road and in to a truck. Why didn't he get a red light on the way? Leave home 1 second earlier or later? His wife is stuck here without him for the rest of her life, wondering what could have been. And everyone else who was a part of his life is stuck here wondering how it happened.

He was the guy to get me super drunk and be proud when I passed out. The guy who would sit and speak drunkenly with me about the future and try and point me in the right direction. Tell me the respect he had for me and my relationship, and never really realise how much we looked up to him. He was the one everyone would come to with issues in their life, marriage and any thing else that was bothering them. The guy that shook my boyfriends hand because I couldn't be grossed out by his porn collection (oh he tried). I can think of a number of stories and happy occasions I have experienced with him in the few years I have known him. He leaves behind a wife, a son, mother, father, a group of close work friends, a group of close friends he has know since school and a boss who considers him a son. I can still picture his smile and I know how happy he makes,made, every single person in his life. I have never seen a death affect so many people in so many ways.

I can't begin to say how much we all miss you. I hate the thought I won't hear Jesse come home with stories of how great you made his day, I hate that your wife is all alone, I hate that we will never have a drink again and I hate how much everyone is hurting right now because your not here. I adored you Jason, I wish you never had to leave xoxo
