Jason was born January 23, 1978 in Orlando, FL to Victor and Sheila Lewis. He grew up in Sanford, the youngest of four children. Jason was a 2009 graduate of Daytona State College School of Emergency Services, where he was honored for performing CPR to save a man’s life just one day after completing his lifesaving course. He joined the Volusia County Sheriff's Office in July 2010, and served honorably in various roles, including patrol, court security, honor guard, and SWAT team, where he qualified as a sniper. He was beloved and respected by his fellow SWAT members and colleagues across the agency. Jason gave presentations to schools and youth camps about the SWAT team, and loved making a difference in the lives of kids. An avid hunter, Jason loved the outdoors. The pride of his life are his sons Mason and Tucker.
Jason was predeceased by his grandparents Lauren Freeman and Gertrude Victoria Lewis, and James Leonard and Margaret Lucille Merideth, his father Victor Freeman Lewis, and niece Merideth. He is survived by his mother Sheila Decker Lewis, his sons Mason James Lewis and Tucker Lauren Lewis and their mother Misty Young, sister Rhonda Lyon and brother-in-law Jim, brother Scott Lewis and sister-in-law Tory, sister Stephanie Lowe and brother-in-law John, nieces Elizabeth, Emily, Madelyn, Katelyn, and Avery, nephews J.C., Alex, and Jackson, girlfriend Carla Carvalho and her daughters Lani and Rosie.
