Kate and I are deeply saddened by Jason's untimely passing. Jason and I were residents at the same time, and it is his friendship that is one of the most precious memories from those years. His devotion to the profession was inspiring as was his skill. But it was his easy-going personality along with unmatched sense of humor and wit that really made us all smile, laugh and love every minute we spent with him. Jason, my friend, you left us too soon, but memories of the times we shared will live on. To Michelle, Elizabeth, Paul, Everest, and the rest of your family, our sincerest condolences.
