While in graduate school, Jason met Rosalie and after a few years married in Denver, Colorado in August 1991.

He worked for numerous medical device companies in the Front Range area of Colorado, and was currently employed as a Principal Program Manager at Medtronic’s Minimally Invasive Therapies Group in Boulder, CO. His wife, family, and friends remember him as caring, loyal, loving and intelligent person who had a quick wit and dry sense of humor and who loved animals, especially dogs. An accomplished scuba diver since 1983, Jason logged hundreds of dives around the world. He also had a passion for downhill skiing and road cycling. You could find him on the slopes at Copper Mountain or Vail in the winter, and riding his bike through the Colorado canyons during the milder weather. Jason was passionate about travel and visited all 7 continents with his wife. The Antarctic ranked high on his list of epic trips. It was here where he experienced truly majestic landscapes, saw a variety of penguins and completed his 7th continent. Private memorial services will be held in Pennsylvania and Colorado.
