WINGS AGAINST THE SUN

Forever earthbound are my feet,
Upon the rocky road ahead,
But high among the clouds, my thoughts,
And so my heart is comforted.
And if one shoulder aches, I shift
The burden to the other side.
Remembering the times I've Laughed,
And not the ones in which I've cried.

Too short indeed these precious years,
To let a dream die needlessly,
Beyond tomorrow there awaits
A time and place designed for me,
And old hopes rising one by one,
Are golden wings against the sun!

Cards and Letters Received On Jason's Behalf...


Jason was one of the best people I've known and I will miss him, especially
fishing those "secret" beaver ponds. Jason was the best friend a man can ever
come across in this brief stint. I loved him dearly + he was always there for
me in tough times and I did what I could to reciprocate. I will always hold a
special place for him in my heart and all the times we shared.

-Friend, Chris Baxter, Laramie.



Jason is a good man and we will all miss him. I always looked up to him,
especially since he was a 'computer guy' like myself.

-First cousin, Josh Laughtland, Boise, ID.
 



You have been like family to us. Jason is and always will be my friend and
will hold a special place in our heart.

-Friends to Jason, Chuck, and Sandy,
former student to Chuck, Jim and CJ Truesdale, Laramie.
 



I'm so very sorry to hear about Jason. I have great affection for him and
fond memories of his visits to Pine Bluffs, Donovan, and the lab. I can't
think of a single unkind word he ever said, but instead remember many times
that he made my day with only a few words and a smile.

-Former student and field/lab tech for Chuck
 who also worked a summer with Jason,
Laura Scheiber, Bloomington, IN.
 



I will always remember Jason. Our boys as they skied, having fun at our
cabin. Like so many others who were drawn to Jason by his charm, courage, and
warmth, I am deeply grieved and bewildered by his unexpected death. I
remember our trip together to California. The world has lost someone special.

-Chuck and Sandy's first cousin, Liz Reher, Cheyenne.
 



We will also miss Jason. He was such a part of our young years in
Archaeology.

-Colleagues to Chuck and friends of the family,
Marcel Kornfeld and Mary Lou Larson, Laramie.
 



I will always remember Jason most of all as my sharp little intro student!

-Colleague and Anthropology teacher, George Gill, Laramie.
 



Gary and I both knew Jason and really thought the world of him. He played on
our dart team for a couple of years and we really enjoyed being around him.

-Friends, Gary and Mary Hopkins, Laramie.
 



I was very sad when I heard that Jason had passed away. I remember enjoying
an Archaeology dig camp with him when we were both in probably our early
teens. We also enjoyed some humorous experiences together working for the
Records and Registration Office at UW when we were some years older. Jason
was a nice guy and fun to know.

-Friend, Carlos Kelly, Fort Meyers, FL.
 



I always liked Jason and will remember him as full of life, always willing to
try new things.

-Friend to Chuck and Sandy, babysitter of Jason in
Albuquerque, Bob Hitchcock, Lincoln, NE.
 



So sorry to hear of your loss of Jason, such a vivacious joy he was wherever
he went and whoever he met.

-Friend of the family, Thelma Harrell,
Cheyenne.
 



I was shocked, dismayed to hear of Jason's passing. I remember him, and
always will, as being full of life and curiosity.

-Friend of the family, Bill Latady,
who Jason referred to as "Big Bird,"
because of his height, Aurora, MN.
 



I was impressed with the service for Jason. I did not have the pleasure of
ever meeting him, but I was impressed by his many accomplishments in life. He
was an adventurer and seemed to have so many friends who loved him.

-Sandy's friend, Olive Thomas, Laramie.
 



We are deeply saddened to hear about Jason. By all accounts he was an
outstanding and caring person. There must be some comfort in knowing that you
raised a truly wonderful son who touched many people.

-Friend to Chuck, The Cannons, Lincoln, NE.
