Jason Blynn Wood, age 51, of Summit Station, Ohio, peacefully departed this world on August 11, 2024, at his home. Born on June 23, 1973, in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, Jason’s life was marked by a profound love for adventure, a passion for the written word, and a heart full of generosity.
Jason leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish his memory: his devoted mother, Diane Culberson Wisecarver, and stepfather Dana Wisecarver; his father Blynn Wood; his cherished grandmother Ruth Culberson and Step-Grandmother Ceil Waspe; his brother Matthew (Briana) Waspe; and his sisters Jaime Lynd, Lisa Lynd, Brooke (Kevin) Lynd-Jarrell, and Danielle Gates of the UK. He also leaves behind his stepsisters, Kristen Wisecarver and Sarah Wisecarver, and his special friend Ronicesha Wearren. His aunts, Pat (Bob) Warren, Darlene (Paul Cameron) Morris, Melita (Glen) Wood-Kain, Marty (Larry) Geiger, and Mindy (Jay) McCurdy and his uncles, Blair Wood and Larry Waspe, along with 13 beloved nieces and nephews, numerous cousins, and countless good friends, will also carry on his legacy.
Jason is now reunited with his stepfather, Steve Waspe; his grandparents, Henry and Jeanette Wood, and Carroll Jack Culberson; his step-grandfather, Marvin Waspe; his uncles, Jerry Wood, Jack Culberson, and Robert Waspe; his aunts, Theresa Culberson Smith and Denise Skeens-Ronk; and his cousin, Clay Bristow.
A master storyteller and a renowned jokester, Jason’s laughter was contagious, and his pranks were legendary. Whether with family or friends, he was the life of the party, and his great sense of humor and generous spirit earned him the love and admiration of all who knew him.
Jason’s heart belonged to the great outdoors, and his greatest love was fishing. He found immense joy in sharing this passion with the neighbor kids, his nephews, and nieces. Even from a young age, he dreamed of a life at sea, aspiring to become a shark hunter or lobster catcher. His love for nature and wildlife was only matched by his insatiable curiosity about the world. A voracious reader and an avid history buff, Jason was a walking encyclopedia, impressing everyone with his sharp memory and vast knowledge.
In his youth, and even as an adult, Jason found solace and camaraderie in the world of Dungeons and Dragons, immersing himself in fantasy realms with his friends. A true fan of the medieval era, he adored "Game of Thrones" and reveled in the magic of the Renaissance Festival. And who could forget his passion for death metal music, with his friends who had a band called The Rotting Souls.
Jason was a gentle soul who was deeply affected by the injustices of the world. He fervently wished for a more peaceful, harmonious existence and was known for his selfless acts of kindness, often giving his last dollar to those in need.
For the past five years, Jason brought his hard work and dedication to Armstrong World Industries in Johnstown, where his colleagues and friends came to know him as a reliable and compassionate co-worker.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:30 pm on Saturday, August 24, 2024 , at Springhill Baptist Church, 1820 Newark-Granville Rd, Granville, OH. A reception will follow, where family and friends will gather to honor and remember the extraordinary life of Jason Blynn Wood.
Jason's memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him, as we cherish the laughter, wisdom, and love he shared with us all.
