I remember a sharp wit, great sense of humor, and a room-lifting smile.
For years these qualities helped me power-through dry, boring, difficult, sometimes mind-numbing MBA classes.
We both worked 8+ hour days before evening class, but I always enjoyed the chance to catch up with Jason.
His critical thinking skills and unparalleled work-ethic made our entire program better.
Just wanted to share these few memories.
Can't believe it has been over 1 year now...

Thank you to everyone for sharing your memories of Jason. Thank you to all of his fellow runners who stopped to help him, and who have kindly sent condolences. My heart is heavy with sadness and I miss my husband and best friend terribly. The sincerity you all have shown is so deeply appreciated and helps me navigate through this difficult time.

My heart has been very heavy since the 13th. I wondered for days who I saw on Boylan and prayed that second and still often after. I will continue to pray for Renee, his parents and many siblings. What a beautiful person he seemed to be!
Runners have a odd "stranger family". We all stand together alone or with others we may know at the race line, but we arnt alone and we are as close with the person who rode in our car as the "stranger" beside us. Jason is part of that family and I am grateful that you shared his memory with us! Thank you!

My heart is heavy for your loss. My friend & I ran the race behind Jason for 10 miles. He looked strong and steady. We all made the right turn onto Boylan Ave and that's when we saw him suddenly fall. Many of us ran over to try to help. Like many runners, he has been on my mind. In his last moments, he was surrounded by people who cared for him, felt he was one of us and will forever be touched by him without ever knowing him. I pray for your strength. Thank you for sharing his memory with us.

Jason

Full of life
No time for strife
So loved by us...
Strong moral compass
Son, brother, husband, friend
Analytical engineer's mind
Ambitious, capable, handsome
Studied Aristotle's wisdom
Renee', adored mate
Widowed by cruel fate
God chose to call him home
No more on earth to roam
Jokes, laughter & fun
Often, out for a good run
He ran the race
At goodly pace
He is greatly missed
More time we all wish

Kina Schlosser Kocsis, Jason's oldest sister

Since running past him in the race, it has weighed heavy on my mind and heart. I didn't know Jason, but like so many other runners, I feel a kindred spirit with the running community. When we lose a runner, we really do feel it deeply. I work in healthcare, and I see every day the effects of poor lifestyle choices. All week I have felt conflicted. Why do people who make such poor choices keep right on going despite their habits while young healthy people like Jason are taken from life so early? I spoke to my best friend about it. She said "God has a much greater race in store for him." He has touched us all and we will run for him and celebrate him well. My deep condolences to his family.

I too never met Jason but I've been thinking of him ever since I passed him on the course. I know he is resting in eternal peace with our Lord. To his family, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and to those fellow runners and medical staff that tried to help him.

There were several of us that stopped running after passing Jason at mile 11 of that race. There were many giving their all to save him.

I cannot begin to express how sorry I am for your loss. I never knew him, even for a second... but I won't ever forget the moment that we crossed paths.

I just wanted to let you know that I passed him while they were performing CPR on him. It is something I will NEVER forget. However, I hope you know that they were working so hard on him and they were trying so hard! He has impacted more lubes than you will ever know. Please know that you you have been in my thoughts and prayers ever since I passed him. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss!

I have known Jason going on almost two decades from a church we used to attend here in Elkhart. Even though we have grown apart in recent years (as many people do as they separate and start their own "adult" lives), we kept in constant contact. It is with great sadness that I hear of his passing as we were even messaging each other less than two weeks ago. He was an outstanding person and will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Greetings to all of us who had the pleasure of knowing and loving Jason ... While I am heartbroken ...I am buoyed by my Love for Jason and his amazing enduring Spirit ...I have been blessed and privileged to call him Brother. I was 23 when he was born and have been so impressed and encouraged by his life as he has grown into a mighty, fine young man. We tried to stay connected over the miles and life changes and I am so happy that I not only loved him ...I liked him without reservation. Jason was so sweet and curious as a 5 year old at our wedding and, then he continued to be a life-long learner ...always curious ...always engaged and engaging. My husband, Ron, and I, had the pleasure of having him here for two visits in Oregon. It was so nice to get to know Jason as an adult. He wanted to experience everything! We took him into the mountains and to the Oregon coast; to the track that "Pre" ran on and to taste Oregon wines so he could take some back to San Diego with him for his friends. He was always thinking of others.

I know, without question, that J loved his family! We share a Dad and J loved and was always concerned about Dad. They shared a father -son mechanical bond and I am sure that is where J's love of " how things work "was inspired. I know, because he told me, how much he loved his Mom, Denise. She worked so hard when the kids were young to give them the "extras" that enriched their young lives. He was so grateful to her. And to Alyssa ...his older sis... he loved and admired you...he looked up to you more than you’ll ever know. You blazed a trail that he was determined to follow in his own way. And sweet, funny, Rebecca...he wrote me once "she is such a giving and loving soul ". J loved everyone...He loved that Rudy and Becca were so good together and he loved Shem and all he had taught him and done for him. And, he loved Bob! He thought Bob was a great step-dad.

Jason was a “look you in the eye kind of guy” and he remembered what you said. He made notes about conversations! “Here’s the book I mentioned …give it a try.” I still listen to a Brandie Carlyle CD at work every week that he sent us and I think of him every time I hear it.

Sweet Renee, my dear sister-in-law… I truly hope to meet you one day. Jason spoke so highly of you and seemed to blossom after meeting you and finding happiness with you. You were HOME to him and I could feel his Joy coming through the paper when he wrote “my wife …”

I’ll close with Jason’s last written words to us…”Really miss you too. I hope we get a chance to see each other someday soon. Wishing you all the very best. Love, Jason…”


Jason, you’re in our hearts forever – your sister and brother-in-law, Sigrid and Ron

Denise ,Alyssa, Rebecca and Renee ; my heartfelt love and sympathy to you all. Jason has been a blessing to your lives, and you all to his. The love you shared will continue and your memories will hold him near. He touched so many lives in many ways just by being Jason. He went with me to the garden store, where we got flowers and shrubs; to plant to spruce up the yard for Becca's open house. We worked for several hours digging and planting, and laughing. One Christmas he taught me guitar chords to play on a guitar he gave me .We were to play together later: life got in the way. I watched Jason grow from babyhood to fine manhood. Knowing him enriched my life; he will be missed in our family circle. Alma Schlosser Davis

I worked with Jason for a few years at my first high school job, The Apple Tree. We shared many a good time there, along with all my other friends at "The Tree". One of my fondest memories is of Jason taking me to see Tool for the first time in concert, it was quite the epic experience.

I remember hiring Jason as a Purdue Intern at Peregrine Semiconductor. He turned out to be one of the best interns we had. We were especially happy when he accepted our offer to stay on full-time. He was a great find. Not only was he technically sharp, he got along very well with others and really fit in. We were sad to see him leave but knew he wanted to be closer to his family. Along with many other Peregrine current and former employees, we were very sad to hear of his very unexpected passing. Know that we all are thinking of you and hope that our comforting words and thoughts will help you through this very difficult time.

So many of my childhood memories are of Denise, Alyssa, Jason, and Rebecca. I believe it started when Denise became my and my brother's babysitter. From there, I became friends with Alyssa and my brother with Jason. We spent so much time at their house that for years they were like a second family. My heart hurts for all of you. You will be in my continued prayers.

I did not know Jason personally but knew him "well" through my son and Jason's friend Dan Ahmad. The attended college together, played and travelled together. I am much saddened and shocked to hear about his death at the (early) prime and promise of life; and under such strange and unusual circumstances - dieing while running, which he had always done with such passion and vigor. It is hard to believe. But in life you take what you get, including death. There are no two ways about it. It is for the survivors to remember, lament, and finally come to terms with the loss of a loved one. For the latter, I sent my deepest thoughts and sympathy to his family: particulalry to his beautiful wife, parents, and the dogs.

I have fond memories of spending hours in the UNCG MBA program with Jason, of traveling to Switzerland with him, hiking in the mountains with him, and of meeting Renee and the dogs at their home in High Point. I consider Jason a great friend and an inspiration. He was an outstanding worker and a great student and great athlete. We saw eye-to-eye across many topics which led to a natural friendship.
I have many great memories, but want to share 1 hilarious incident when Jason brought his dogs to my house for a chance for them to play with my dog, Ozzie. Dieter got spooked and bolted out my house at full-speed down the neighborhood sidewalks! Jason immediately got a mad look on his face and tore off running after Dieter! I remember seeing him gaining ground on Dieter and vanishing around the corner after him... It was a hilarious sight at the time, because all of this happened before we even said 'hello', and I just knew there was 0% chance I could have ever run-down a speedy dog like Dieter.
Amazingly, 5 minutes later, Jason walked back in my front door with Dieter's collar firmly in-hand and we had a great time catching up later that day. I am still impressed to this day at how he caught Dieter that morning!
Jason was a great friend who will be missed by all who knew him,

The video tribute to Jason is beautiul. What an accomplished young Man he grew up to be. Denise and Nelson, you must be so proud. We have known the Schlosser's for many years. We are all part of Jason's 4-H family. It all started with a rabbit...First Alyssa............and then Jason and Rebecca followed.We remember Jason as a tall, lean (skinny) ackward boy, who had to have the biggest rabbit to show lol. And show he did. His name, along with both of his sisters is still on the award board hanging in the Rabbit Barn. So many good memories. The Elk. Co. Fair. the 4-H barn,(remember the water wiennies?) and the bunny hut, not to mention all the other 4-H projects he participated in, and he did well in all of them. I can remember a conversation with Denise about what to do with all the blue ribbons the kids had won. It is apparent that Jason had a love for animals that he carried with him into his adulthood. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I hope in some way, you will find comfort knowing that Jason touched many lives, and left lasting positive impressions on us all.

I'll never forget Jason. Once he moved to High Point he and David became friends through work. I would cook, Jason would eat. I called him the garbage disposal. We were around when he adopted his dog, bought his first house and met Renee. There was never a dull moment when Jason and Renee were around. We've all shared many laughs together. Renee, I'm at a loss of what to say so I'll just let it be that i love you and am here for you no matter what it is you need and I will support you however I can.

Prayers to Jason's family!

Jason and I shared many moments together when he moved to High Point... We worked together, camped, hiked, brewed beer, and many other things. Jason and Dieter were always welcome at the house and came to visit many times. Sadie (our lab) had the honor of staying at Jason's house once and proceeded to destroy his flower pot! Jason couldn't help but smile and laugh about it. Jason was always a stand up guy and a wonderful person to be around. I am proud to have gotten to know him and call him a friend. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Renee and the rest of his family and friends.

We are vey saddened to hear of Jason's unexpected death. We have fond memories of Jason. He was friends with our son, David Jasper, and went to a NCSU football game with our family. Jason and David did not prepare for rain that day, but it really poured. Jason and David sat right there and continued watching the game, ultimately getting soaking wet. Both guys walked away with smiles on their face after having tenacity to make it to the end. Be very proud of Jason. This was an example of his strength and character. Please know you are in our prayers and thoughts.
