Please, help the family of our local fallen hero - Jason (who was in the US Navy from Duxbury, MA) lost his life on Nov. 28, 2023. ( 3/13/00 date of birth )

These days are heartbreaking - as the mental wellness for humanity is clearly falling short.

his family, will need much care in this aftermath - and anything we can do to support them - in tending to these times and their wellness in the road ahead - will be an enormous support.

Jason had been planning to return home this year - and was excited to support his mother in her care dealing with her own auto immune disease - like Celine Dion.(same dx)

Mark (his brother and best friend) along with his mom and family & friends are supporting each other now in the wake of this news - that came from Va. They feel the love of their community and thank you for the support and are so very grateful for all the condolences they have been receiving - they are exhausted and will continue to require much rest, recovery and bereavement support as the road unravels.

May we consider supporting them and something in his name that will support no more LOSS of fallen military?! (See article above about countless historical issues on his actual ship and in our country - it’s time to create change for our providers and all humans - our systems are broken. However, we have to start with one human at a time, and right now - Jason’s mother and family - need support - the goal will be to get through this and support reduction of suffering, in Jason’s name - thereafter.

last year on Jason’s ship alone - he lost a 3 dear friends in one week alone - with countless attempts! Jason actually prevented peers from losing their lives in attempts - on his ship. More than ten on his ship in less than a year are being invested.

obituary to follow shortly -

covid - inflammation- autoimmune-vaccines- these times are requiring more support for mental wellness - ASAP for those who are the providers and the provided for.

thank you xoxooxoxoooxx

this go fund me will go directly to Paula and Mark to pay for the numerous expenses in VA, where Jason lived, end of life / funeral costs - along with their own grief care and any other support related to the loss of Jason - along with a plan to memorialize and create a legacy that of hope in his name that creates a world in which future loss is prevented - any questions reach out to me - I will do my best to reach back as soon as I can -

we do not know the dates of services yet - navy still working out return - from VA.

investigations are still ongoing -

we Will keep you posted.

we are all still shocked by the surreal nature of this event and will struggle to understand this loss - but we’re blessed to have Jason in our lives. His love and joy touched those who knew him.
