Ill never forget the memories we shared online. Playing without you will leave a hole that cannot be filled, but i know you’ll still be gaming alongside us like old times. Im gonna miss you. Much love.
I met Jaeson on 5/13/2021 during our time playing games together. Me, along with 3 other guys, all from completely different parts of the United States, never knew we would have met the kindest, funniest, and most outspoken individual that day. He would “tank” for us which means he took all the hits from our enemies and lead us through dangerous obstacles, while having a blast doing it with his fun and charming personality. What amazed me about him during his stay in the hospital was how resilient he was in terms of keep up to date on how we were doing, playing games with us, working his 9 to 5 and going through chemotherapy. He was always positive about his progress and always kept us motivated with him throughout the process. Even from a 1700 mile distance between us, he felt like a friend that was next door by how much we talked online and goes to show you can find special people anywhere. Although I never met him in person, his impact on me and my memory of him hits me every few hours, that someone as genuine as Jaeson is no longer with us. Much love to Kate and those around him who cheered him on during his stay in the hospital. I can tell you that during my chats with Jaeson that he knew we all cared for him.
Crystal,
I am so sorry to hear of your son’s passing. It truly is probably the worst thing in your whole life you will have to go through. I feel so bad for you and the rest of his family and especially for him to have to leave in the midst of a life well lived.He leaves a wonderful family and 4 beautiful children. To each and every one of them I send my condolences. Kate, you have some hard days ahead of you and l hope you will have some help to get through it. Crystal, l hope you know that you can call me anytime. I send you my love and the hope that your memories will sustain you. I’m so sorry.
I have that same Bear shirt. I didn’t know Jaeson really well but am a very good friend of the family. I know he will be missed by so many especially his children and beloved Kate. Rest In Peace brave one
Even though we haven’t played WoW together in a while, I’m gonna miss the random times you would yell “Hi Andra!” when you logged on WoW. You were a great person and friend who always had such a positive outlook on things. Rest in Paradise
An old WoW PVP Nemesis turned Friend and Brother through many adventures. From “Vanilla” to TBC and beyond. And back around once again in Classic!! Rest Well old Soldier! You always were a great Friend and a joy to have known for so many years even if it was “just a game”. You will be missed greatly,
I’m just now learning of this, but I also spent a fair amount of time hanging out with Jaeson in WoW, also known as Cande. I recall several memories of hanging out in voice chat with him and doing in-game stunts. I grew as a person over 15 years and we would keep in touch periodically about life in general.
I’ll miss the conversations we had. Rest in peace.
