   Jason I’ve known for years. Played Bean Bag against him at the Pioneer. Best fish in Menomonie at the Water Front. Passed way to soon. Use to sell me Cod to take home to cook. Will be missed by all. Rest in peace my friend.

   The news of Jason's passing his our household heavily. My wife and I met in 2009 at an event hosted at Jason's establishment, The Waterfront. While courting we would come to see the living legend of the Northland, Charlie Parr. We would dance ourselves into sweating heaps by nights end. Jason was a warm person to enjoy this existence with, and he was fuel to the fire of our coupling. We will remember fondly our time, back in the good old days, bathing in the light he brought to our lives. Love to all those whom knew him, and will be impacted by his loss.

   How in the hell can this man be gone? He had the world in the palm of his hands, such wonderful Man. Jason was a fellow business owner of ours, and whenever we visited the Waterfront, he lit up the room. Such a kind and appreciative soul. RIP my friend.
