October 15, 2023 at 7:04 AMMy deep condolences go out to Jason’s family. He was an amazing person. A light in the darkness who brought joy to so many! He could brighten up anyone’s day with his contageous smile and upbeat positive attitude! He saved many lives just by being such a great friend to many and a person who would listen to others or just sit with them in their darkness, which helped many of us who are suicidal at times to keep on fighting. He melted hearts and gave chill bumps to many with his musical talents and beautiful voice and was the best DJ ever, especially when he was the Karaoke DJ at many a favorite Karaoke bar. He was truly an Angel on Earth and this world has become a bit darker now that he is no longer on this Earthly realm. Jason Marcus Headon. You are very much missed by so many and will be for all eternity. My heart is still breaking since your departure! It is so surreal that I have to pinch myself at times to make sure I am truly awake and not in a horrible nightmare that is telling me you are gone. Rest deeply my friend; you deserve it after helping so many while you were Earth bound. I will never forget you and how kind you were to me and many other souls here on Earth! Fly high with those celestial wings you now have and I hope I can find you when my time is up on this huge rock floating in the Universe called Earth. I love you Jason and all that you were and all that you did for others. You were truly a Saint! We will greatly miss you. Sending hugs to you in Heaven!
