Help Support Amy, Odin, and Birdie in Memory of Ja Byrd

Donation protected
Jason “Ja Byrd” Peters was truly one of a kind. If you knew him or ever met him, it’s certain he made a lasting impression on you. When Ja was around, you knew it. His larger-than-life personality, heart of gold, love for his family and friends, and way of lighting up the room made an impact on so many.

Ja was a devoted family man. His love for his wife Amy and children Odin and Birdie went beyond what words could possibly describe. Amy, Odin, and Birdie brought an unsurpassed level of joy to the core of Ja’s being, and you could see it radiate from him in so many ways.

Ja was the best friend you could ever ask for. He would do anything for you, at any time. He motivated you. He brought so many people together from all backgrounds and all walks of life. Ja was there to call you out when you needed it, talk you up when you needed it, and was always in your corner. Ja wanted to do better for himself and sincerely wanted the same for everyone around him.

Ja was an individual. His humor, unique personality, unrivaled level of energy, antics, jokes, wit, and fearlessness all made him stand out. He was the very definition of authentic, original, and genuine.

Ja was an accomplished man. A skilled skateboarder from a young age, a proud Navy veteran, and later in life, a committed martial artist and kickboxer.

Tragically, Ja was taken from us too soon by a heart attack on July 17th, 2024. He leaves behind an amazing family, countless friends, and a legacy that we would all hope to achieve. Ja let his presence be known during his time.

We are raising funds to support Amy, Odin, and Birdie during this incredibly difficult time. The funds will go towards helping with immediate expenses and ensuring a secure future for Ja’s children. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign to help honor Ja’s memory and support his beloved family.

Thank you for your support.
