  3. Ian McCluskey condolence:

    Jason remains in my memories as an amazing friend and cousin. When the McCluskey fishing trip on the Columbia River happened, he treated my like a brother even though I was the youngest one on the trip.
    His presence meant more than any of the salmon we nailed, and I know our family holds him dear in our hearts from now until the end of time.


  4. Dr. Nora C. O'Malley condolence:

    When I think of our dear Jason, I think of his great heart, his kindness, his enjoyment of life and his wonderful sense of humor. May God grant him the joy and the caring he showered on so many in this life. I can picture his grandparents welcoming him into heaven. I know my sister Kay will wrap her loving arms around her first grandson, our sweet Jason.

    All,
    Oh, I’m so sorry to hear about Jason.
    He was so friendly, nice and smart. He figured out a medical problem for me in 30 seconds at a party we were attending and he was only 15 at the time. I was glad to have the answer. What a loss
    for all of us.

    Bambi

  23. Billy Dean condolence:

    Jason was a friend of mine for over 30 years. We shared many laughs as we took turns being class clowns and I’ll never forget the year we made a haunted house and the role Jason played. I also had the pleasure of watching Da Bears win the SuperBowl with Jason and his mom, my heart breaks for her and Caitlyn! We last got together a couple of years ago and I was hoping we could do it again soon but I have to wait a little longer now to hopefully see you in heaven brother. I know you’ll be waiting with open arms just as your heart was always open to us. Love you Jay, Swiney, a true brother forever!


  24. John & Kathleen Greaney & Family condolence:

    Mary Ellen our hearts break for you and your entire family. You are in our prayers on this very difficult day. I am sure your Mom welcomed him with open arms as did all the angels and saints but I also know that it is in your arms you wished him to be. God love and truly bless all of you.

    All our love and thoughts and prayers. John, Kathy and children

    A beautiful smile on a beautiful soul. It is raining for all who’s lives Jason has touched. It can’t rain all the time, his life,how he lived, and who he was Will always be remembered, and the sun will shine again. Although Jason has only crossed our paths a few times, we felt like he’s been our friend for years. He’s had us laughing for hours. Not many people can make you feel like your truly their friend in the first 5 minutes of meeting them. I’ve only ever heard good things about him. A good man will be missed. Jason’s parents,and family. we cannot imagine the pain you must go though. We pray you will find peace, and know he is truly always with you. God has a new angel up above, maybe with green wings 🙂


  27. Anne Freyer McCluskey condolence:

    Dear Mary Ellen, Caitlin, and family
    Words do not begin to express or reach the profound sense of loss and ragged emotions that you are experiencing. But I can say this: the times I was with Jason and knowing about the friendship Jason had with my daughters, I am glad I knew him and he was in my life. Anne


  28. Cathy Nurmela condolence:

    I am deeply saddened to hear of Jason’s death. I have many fond memories of him and what a sweet young boy he was, obviously that stayed with him. I will keep you all in my prayers.


  29. Nadia condolence:

    To the Swinehamer family, I’m very sorry for your loss. No matter how much time passes we still feel the loss of our loved ones and view death as God does, an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) May you find comfort and hope in His promise at Revelation 21:3,4 that shows soon there will be no more death, and we can see our loved ones again. Please accept my deepest condolences.
