Dekalb Firefighter Jason Blalock

"Jason was one of the most amazing people I have ever met.  His dedication to his friends, family, and career always had priority over his personal needs.  He was so dedicated to his career as a fireman, he worked countless other jobs in order to make ends meet because he wanted to have a career that made a difference in people's lives, not a career that made him rich.  That's how he lived his life in service to other people, and so many people loved and adored him.  His personality lit up the room the minute he walked in with a cocky little grin on his face.  He could make you laugh no matter how bad you felt or what you were going through.  He was like gravity; everyone was pulled to him.  The world is definitely not as bright today with him gone." 

This fund has been put together to help the family of Jason Blalock, with funeral and associated expenses, in this time of need.  Jason gave so much in his life for others, and when he needs us most, we will be here to give back.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any donations provided.
