Jasper J. Cossette

In a tragic accident on Sunday, April 16th, 2023, my sweet nephew, Jasper J. Cossette, returned home to his Father in Heaven less than a month before his 6th birthday.

He was so full of life and love. He will be missed by anyone and everyone that ever had the pleasure of meeting him. The lives of all who knew him were enriched and forever changed.

To all who asked or have offered to help his grieving parents, Rebecca and James, with the financial burden that comes at times like these, we have set up this account.

We are also collecting stories and memories of Jasper. If you have any you would like to share you can do so in the comments or send them via email at

Thank you for your love and support.
