After graduating Jason worked as a cashier/greeter for McDonald's in Battle Creek, Michigan; in which position he met and made friends with nearly EVERY customer that he assisted there. In his free time Jason loved to go bowling, fishing, and hang out with his niece (Cora) and nephews (Julian, Aiden, Jayden). He also spent much time with the CIR group of Battle Creek, and friends from church. Even though being confined to a wheel chair for the last 4 years, Jason never let that stop him from doing anything he wanted to do. He would still find ways to go bowling, play frizz-bee golf, and kickball with family, friends, and the CIR group. Jason was always on the move, every day he could be found somewhere in and around the city of Battle Creek, meeting new people and making new friends. Jason was a HUGE believer in the Lord, he loved God and Jesus and he always shared and showed his love in videos he made and posted on Facebook everyday. Anyone that had the honor of meeting Jason will tell you that he always had a smile on his face and would stop at nothing to make you day better if you were feeling down.
