The world lost an amazing person on July 9, 2023. Jason Lee Oslin was born December 7, 1975 in Kansas City, MO, the son of Jerry and Maxine (Faith) Oslin. They preceded him in death.
Jay graduated from Park Hill High School, where he was an exceptional athlete and learned to love the game of football. He went on to play college football at Scottsdale Community College and later graduated from Louisiana Tech. Jay had a drive for success and a work ethic like no other, which led him to train as a Navy Seal. This hard work and passion to succeed would carry over into his everyday life as a civilian. He was a great husband, father, brother, best friend and mentor to so many. He spent countless hours coaching and helping young athletes train in speed and agility, to better prepare themselves for their chosen competitive sport. He cherished his time at ARC Sports Performance and valued the relations made with co-workers and athletes over the years. He was also successful in the business world, and was currently working in sales for Thrive Construction.
Jay’s greatest love was that of family and friends. He married the love of his life, Cassie Leigh McCauley on October 21, 2022 in Parkville, MO. That short union of marriage produced a lifetime of love and memories.
In addition to Cassie, survivors include a son, Phoenix Fuentes. Phoenix became the perfect son for Jay. The bond that developed between the two became so meaningful for both of them. He is also survived by his brother and best friend, James “Jimmy” Edward Oslin of Phoenix, AZ. Jay had so many close friends and extended family members that he considered close family. He will be dearly missed but his legacy will never be forgotten.
I want the family to know that, even though years have gone by, the Oslin family has always been in my thoughts. I went to school with both Jimmy and Jason. I have so many great memories as does my little sister Jamie. My heart goes out to the family for their loss. Especially his new wife and young boy. This is a huge shock to many, I’m sure, but I will definitely keep them in my prayers. Jason will be very missed. ❤️
I am so very sad to hear of Jason’s passing. Prayers for healing and peace to his family and dear friends.
So so sorry for your loss!!! Jason was an INCREDIBLE man. He’s been a part of the Wilkies lives for decades. He will be heavily missed! Prayers to you and your family. Stay strong and believe God doesn’t make us go through anything we can’t handle.🫶🏻
Jay was a great friend to my sons Tyler and Lane! A couple of years ago he did a fantastic job renovating the backsplash in our kitchen! I was able to talk to him a long time! Such a dedicated coach to my boys! He was an awesome mentor especially to my son Tyler! Our hearts are breaking!
So sorry to hear the news. Jay was a great mentor to me in the years I trained under him at ARC. There’s a few “Jay-isms” that carried me through tough times as an athlete and even still today.
He’d always say “feel good day!” after putting us through a tough training session. He’d remind us that when we showed up to the challenge, we were bound to feel good. Feel good that we conquered the mission OR feel good that the beating was over and we gave it our all. Either way, it was a feel good day when you show up and attack things.
I’ll carry that with me forever. So sad, yet grateful for Jay’s life.
My deepest condolences to your family. Jason was a great guy. Keeping you all in my prayers.
