Have to admit when I came in from working in the Man Cave (Garage) and read this on FB. My Heart Broke.
Met him briefly several times at the track but he was out of the hospital for a short time during the Hoffman Fish Fry and I talked with him a bunch and you could tell right away how likable and positive he was about the whole thing. Even talked about maybe if things went well having the car out for a race or two by end of the year *With a different driver*. Anyway kept track of things, attended the benefit at the Burg and participated and many family and friends were there *Including Racing Family* and I'm sure not just himself but others were helped by including http://bethematch.org/ as I seen several people getting tested as possible Marrow Donors.
He had the Transplant and things seemed to be going pretty good and then I didn't hear anything till about Halloween when he posted a pic of himself being back in the *CLINK* But said it wasn't a relapse but complications. Hadn't heard anything till I seen the tributes on FB Today
All My sympathy's to the family, and prayers of comfort to them and his close friends.
Chuck, also sending prayers for Bill Gardner and everyone battling some form of the C word.
Wow. I will say a prayer for jason and his family and all the great race fans that make this a family. Thanks to the burg for the all the great things that you did for him and family and race fans. I will have my 44 shirt on tommorow .
Me and jason raced very hard at paragon speedway it was alot of fun he made me earn my first feature win great guy deepest sympathy from the whole gentry family
Unbelieveably sad news, Jason was one of the nicest guys I've ever met in all my years hanging around the track. Everytime I see the number 44 I will think of you. Rest in peace my friend.
