His greatest accomplishment was “Traverse Street Tattoo’s”.Jason was a lover of life, who not only saw the beauty in this world; but had the ability to create it. As an artist, musician, and then accomplished tattoo artist, his creations will live on with all of those he touched. Jason had such unconditional love for his family and friends, but his moments of greatest joy came during the visits with his son Ian. His adventures and travels gave him the ability to see things in such a way that others could not. We know that the greatest qualities Jason had will live on forever in all of our lives. His strength and determination has carried him through all of life's ups and downs, and we want you all to know how he kept up his fighting spirit right through to the end.
