I'm very sorry to find out about Jason. He was a great guy. I worked with him for several years and he will be missed. 

Jason and I worked together at Louisville Packaging for 20 years.

He loved his family and it always gave me joy when he answered calls from his family during business conference calls because that let me know he had his priorities in order.  How he embraced Jared when they parted was also special to witness. 

Jason was a smart man and said at times, “I don’t know if you know this but we are considered nerds.”

Jason will be missed by many.  I will continue to pray for his family, friends and colleagues. 

Our journey began over 20 years ago. 
When I first met Jason working for the Summer at the plant I am pretty sure he was just thinking this is just temporary before I go out and conquer the world.  Sorry friend for changing your plans. 
It was very evident that he was going to be a though cookie to deal with since we had our first interview. I believe this is what we kept us together for so long because we lived to compete against each other every day and on everything we did.  
I was fortunate to meet his family and friends, one thing he just to tell me everyday how Morgan just to tell him in the morning "Get up and go to work or Alex is going to fire you."  
Years later every Monday we used to talk about work and what was ahead of us but we always had time to talk about what we did during the weekend. He was very proud of all the accomplishments from Jared on the football field and he always said how big he was compared to the rest of his teammates. 
Memories... too many to pick a specific one, we went fishing several years in a row, but after we reflected how much we were feeding the fish with our dinner of breakfast of the day and we used to say... :"his is the last year", we were back to give it another try,,, not very different from the year before.
Rounds of golf... too many go remember, but I can say I played in more places with him than with anybody else... Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Florida, and all over Kentucky.  
I can honestly say that there were several times that we disagreed at work, but it was always done in a cordial and respectful way, I cannot talk more about his passion, dedication, and vision that make him to be admired and respected.
Unfortunately I could not tell him all of this is in person, and I can only hope that he knew he was somebody very especial in my life,  I am only grateful to have met you and for letting me share so many things together. 
You will be forever in  my heart, my friend.

I had the pleasure to known and worked with Jason for the past 20 years, he was the most dedicated person I  known. He was our good friend and we will definitely miss him every day. We shared our kids birthday parties, Christmas parties, golf tournaments, and so much more. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jamie and all your family.
Love,

My dear Jason, my little brother, oh how I love you!  You were such a good husband, father, brother, son and friend to all. And what a story teller you were! You made us all laugh so much with your infectious laugh and smile.   Family meant everything to you. I’m so honored to be part of your family for the past 33 years.  From a boy of only 12 years old when Chris and I began dating, I got to watch you grow into the amazing man that you became.  In June, while having breakfast on the beach in Florida, you asked me about my soon to be grand baby and talked about how kids were such a blessing and how  much you loved having your grandkids with you.  All of your kids felt that unconditional, overflowing  love from you.  You will always hold a very special place in my heart.  Love and miss you dearly. Until we meet again. ❤️❤️❤️

I had the pleasure of working with Jason for almost 20 years. Jason was dedicated, hardworking and maybe a bit competitive. He loved a good challenge and took great pride in figuring out how to accomplish impossible tasks. He was a good friend, with a great sense of humor, I will miss his silly laugh and his smile. I will miss him. Rest In Peace my dear friend. 


Jason was a good man we would talk about our Catholic faith and joke alot and always supported me as union steward ( local 89 ) I know he will be missed may God bless his family if you need me just call Mr T

I met Jason through the RCIA program at St. Martha Church. He was  a great family man devoted to his wife and children. He held a special place in my heart. May God bless his family and friends with the gifts of comfort and peace.

When we left home, we were lost and alone in world unknown; we learned to survive and eventually thrive and came out strong and alive with an army to protect us. Giving up a part of yourself to protect those you love and is its own reward. Bless  my brother Jason and his sacrifices for all he loves.

JASON, such a kind loving person if he called you a friend he meant it, My family loved him, Golfing , taking our children to king’s Island, we couldn’t go just for a day, No we had to stay there 2 or 3 days , what a blast, Jason loved his family and children and his wife Jamie a beautiful soul he would look over at her and say to her your so beautiful , then he would wink at her and say your mine . He was such a great story teller, He could tell story like no other person could so detailed and precise leaving no stone unturned, you didn’t want it to end, but you were in luck he always had another story even better than the first one , Jason was that guy when he spoke or walked in to a room , people notice right away, Special loving spirit that he carry , His smile it could light up a major city , Jason was also a very good listener he cared about your situation or what ever it may be bothering you alway trying to find the solution that work for you, he just loved his friends it came so easy for him , nothing was fake about him , you could call him up 3 in the morning  needing a ride to much to drink , he would say where are you bothfu, that’s what we said to one another bothfu , miss him already, I love you Jason and I know you loved me like a brother , It’s not good bye , but till next time I’ll see you again bothfu. 

Jason's Mom is one of my dearest friends but I was also blessed to get to know Jason over the last several years and call him my friend. He was a great husband and father and his large loving family meant the world to him. I will remember his smile and that laugh forever. Rest in peace, my friend.  You will always be in my heart... 

There is a special place in heaven for this sweet boy.  His beautiful smile is imprinted in hearts.  His infectious  laugh will stay with us forever.  He loved & took care of everyone around him.  You’re light has not gone out it just shines brighter in each of us💕

From a kid full of life and bigger than life dreams ,to one of the most stand up men I know. 
For more than 30 years I’ve been proud to call Jason my brother. Until we meet again. 

Jason’s wife Jamie is one of my most treasured friends, and I was in their wedding. Much later, Jamie watched my girls when I had to drive to Lexington and my husband worked.  They had some of the best times. One particular time, they got to go to some sort of event, be in a limo and see some race cars. Jason was a good dude. I found this picture of that fun day.

Gone Way Too Soon, but please buddy continue to watch over all of us like you always have buddy….. 

Jason is not only a Great Father but he was a amazing friend of mine and there will never be a day that goes by that I’m out on my 
Harley Davidson ridin thinking about my PARTNER. 
We all love and will truly miss you Mr Hedden 

My brother and I did everything together when it came to riding he was my best friend and my brother at the same time don't no what I will do without him but ride or die I love you brother I will see you in the after live we will ride forever 

My baby boy is gone, but he will never be forgotten. He was a fantastic person, loving son, husband, brother, uncle,& friend. 
My heart is broken, this family is in shock. He has a great wife, kids ,grandkids.
We will never be the same. Make time for your family and friends we have no clue how long we will have each other
Love you, you will never be forgotten 
Mom & dad

Jason was my friend, who I've known professionally and socially for over a decade.  We golfed together, laughed together, and talked about life & business.

He loved the people he worked with, loved his family, and loved The Lord.    He was always first to offer prayers to Our Father in Heaven (who I'm sure he's now in front of), and quick to offer help to friends in need.

Jason was a generous soul, and one of the easiest people to be around.  He was highly intelligent (mind like a vault!), quick on his feet, and focused on a job well done.  While his life was short...it was also a "job well done".

I'll miss you Jason.  We'll all miss you.

Mike Gross

Such a happy fun loving "extra" special man . 
A golden heart stopped beating 
Hard working hand and rest
God took you to prove 
He only takes the best
God knew you had to leave us
But you didn't go alone 
For a part of us went with you 
The day he called u home
