Thinking of the entire Bush family. I always do at this time of year and during the holidays. I can't believe it's been 15 years tomorrow... Love you all.

Sammatha Wednesday October 24, 2018 at 6:22 PM

Coming upon 15 years since we lost you. I miss you every single day ?? ??

chris ison Monday October 12, 2015 at 5:28 PM

Hey Jason, came across some old pictures today. Remember the concert we threw in Grayson on that old wooden trailer. ..Evidence the t shirts your mom made us. Good times.

Jason R. Smith jason@ashlandbeacon.com Thursday November 21, 2013 at 6:02 PM

Man it's been a while and life has gone on. I have been thinking about you a lot lately and actually rerecorded "Girl of My Dreams" recently. Unfortunately I have lost contact with most everyone we used to hang out with including your family whom I love and miss like crazy. Man how life changes us as we grow old. I miss you buddy!

Walter Kewin Lyons kewinly@yahoo.com Wednesday December 19, 2012 at 8:18 AM

Jason is still missed to this day he was a young man at his death I am currently writing a book not disclosing his name but about life in general of the so called generation rx I survived to find my friends gone the day before his death I was going to court he hugged me and said brotha! bubby we are always will be friends no how far away. Then THE TRUTH IS I saw Bill Thacker walk in the next day he was pronounced dead by Mark Reese finding him dead. They think they can build a memorial and shut us up No! --Jason Bush-- Was a harmless unselfish man who died b4 his time I hope my book is published to give the next generation a glimmer of hope.

Stacy B Thursday April 12, 2012 at 9:39 PM

Missing you today

Mom Monday February 20, 2012 at 8:05 PM

Thank you Sami Jo, Stacy and Jan and Billy. I miss him soooo much. It's been some time since I visited this page. It's good to see that he's had messages since then. Jason, it even feels wonderful just to type your name. I can only imagine how it will feel when you lap your big long arms around me and swing me around. I love you Son!!

Britni Sunday October 23, 2011 at 10:53 PM

"Who You'd Be Today" Sunny days seem to hurt the most. I wear the pain like a heavy coat. I feel you everywhere I go. I see your smile, I see your face, I hear you laughin' in the rain. I still can't believe you're gone. It ain't fair: you died too young, Like the story that had just begun, But death tore the pages all away. God knows how I miss you, All the hell that I've been through, Just knowin' no-one could take your place. An' sometimes I wonder, Who'd you be today? Would you see the world? Would you chase your dreams? Settle down with a family, I wonder what would you name your babies? Some days the sky's so blue, I feel like I can talk to you, An' I know it might sound crazy. It ain't fair: you died too young, Like the story that had just begun, But death tore the pages all away. God knows how I miss you, All the hell that I've been through, Just knowin' no-one could take your place. An' sometimes I wonder, Who you'd be today? Today, today, today. Today, today, today. Sunny days seem to hurt the most. I wear the pain like a heavy coat. The only thing that gives me hope, Is I know I'll see you again some day. Some day, some day, some day

Sammatha abbygav08@yahoo.com Wednesday May 11, 2011 at 1:18 AM

Jason, I'm sitting here restless with you on my mind...not a day goes by that I don't think about you and miss you like crazy. I can not believe how quickly time passes and one would think that with time it would ease pain but it doesn't. I love you very much and miss you terribly.

Stacy Monday October 25, 2010 at 10:08 PM

7 years....time and time again I come to this page. Miss you just as much as I did the first time I visited this page. Love always

Aunt Jan 10/04/10 CUZ Billy Monday October 4, 2010 at 6:38 PM

BEEN AWHILE LOVE YOU MISS YOU.ALWAYS ON OUR HEARTS AND MINDS.LOVE ALWAYS MISS YOUR SMILING FACE.

Sammatha Friday September 10, 2010 at 4:41 PM

Jason...gosh I don't even know where to start. My day started as usual, getting the kids up and ready for school, cleaning, just the normal everyday things. Then I got on facebook and your mom posted the most amazing thing about single roses and it just touched something inside me. I was one of the lucky people that you did that with. You gave me that single pink rose the very day before you passed and to think about now on the meaning behind it and what it meant for you to give it to someone, I have found myself in tears. Time goes by and so many things change and happen and no one can ever give you an explaination. All we can do is live day to day. But when I think back 7 years ago everything seemed so much simpler then. We were young and had our whole lives ahead of us. College, football games, classes, our friends and even our families. I'm just greatful for the memories I have with you and I do think about them everyday. And still to this day I think about you and wonder what might have been. Missing you forever and always...love your sam!

Stacy Thursday June 10, 2010 at 10:17 PM

Happy birthday buddy....miss you

Mom Tuesday May 25, 2010 at 4:34 PM

I love you.

Stacy Thursday April 15, 2010 at 10:23 PM

Wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again... I thought of you today; but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms... I have you in my heart.

Mom Saturday January 2, 2010 at 12:52 PM

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Love and miss you. XOXOXO

Britni Bush Saturday December 26, 2009 at 1:02 AM

Mom Monday October 26, 2009 at 6:27 PM

Another year has passed since the last time I held you in my arms. In so many ways it seems like yesterday. I'll hold these sweet memories deep in my heart until we meet again. I love and miss you Jason. Love, Mom

Stacy stacy_boggs12@eku.edu Tuesday September 29, 2009 at 12:55 AM

Happy Birthday!! We love and miss you and all the joy that you brought us. This day is one of the most special days of the year.So dear to my heart. Your little neice is 2 wks. old today. She is beautiful. She is named after her papaw on her fathers side and after you too. "Sydney Jacelyn Seasor" . May God always keep her in his grace and may the angels in heaven rejoice as He lays before her a beautiful path. If by chance you know that she is with us please mention her frequently to Jesus. And if it be his will, there could be no better guardian angels for Syndey Jacelyn than her papaw Sid and her uncle Jason. Happy 26th Birthday Son. Love Mom and Dad

This sure has been a busy weekend. Though you weren't physically present you have been in the midst of it all. In everything I do you are always there. I sure do miss you. Family gatherings are wonderful but lacking without you, your name is always mentioned by someone though because you are yet loved so much. I love you son and you are always with me. Love you more than I can say. Mom

I wrote on tht day I always write here because he is so close to my heart Ur Bro :) AMEN

Mom Monday October 27, 2008 at 6:40 PM

And now I ask myself, "Why should I wonder if anyone remembers what today is?" It still touches me to know the devotion of his friends. Thank each of you so much for the time you yet take to make it known. A love so true as yours will never diminish in time. But will just grow to be more precious. My love and prayers are yet with each of you. You'll always hold a special place in my heart. My God bless you abundantly. Love Jason's Mom:)

Sammatha sammatha4457@yahoo.com Monday October 27, 2008 at 11:54 AM

Oct. 26th I recieved a pink rose from you...5 years ago today I lost you. It just doesn't seem real.. or maybe I just don't want it to be. I miss you and I'm always thinking of you!

May you always have a song in your heart and a dance in your soul. Love you always Mom

[ There came a day you touched my life ] There came a day you touched my life And it was a day I no longer knew you You'd already passed through those pearly gates, up to the sky so blue This wasn't recent by any means Laid in your casket nearly four years ago You took to the earth, I was suppose to say bye And still I just keep letting go I try even to pretend at times that you're still here I visit you online Read and always shed a tear Your lovely mother still writes to you there, "Happy Easter, Merry Christmas... How's the air way up there?" Nearly four years Never posted until tonight When I saw our song, "I can only imagine." on the site It took me by surprise A wet, sad face, I wipped my eyes, and just wrote that was our song not to lie I remember how each cord rang when you played it on your guitar I remember how you always played it on the red guitar because you said the red was your favorite and only your favorite would do I remember how we'd take long drives in your car and "try to imagine just what it might be like.... to stand in your (God's) presence..." Now you know, And I can only imagine. RIP Jason Bush, my friend.

MOM jeffandmary01@windstream.net Friday October 26, 2007 at 10:27 PM

JASON TODAY IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS SINCE I LAST SAW AND SPOKE TO YOU AND GOT TO HUG YOUR NECK. I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH. AND ALL I KNOW TO DO IS TO LIVE EACH DAY TO IT'S FULLEST AS THE END OF EACH DAY BRINGS ME ONE DAY CLOSER TO THE NEXT TIME THAT WE WILL EMBRACE. GOD HAS SO BLESSED US ALL AND HAS BEEN EVER PRESENT WITH US THROUGH THE GOOD TIMES AND THE BAD. I KNOW HEAVEN MUST BE A WONDERFUL PLACE TO BE. AND KNOWING THAT YOU ARE SAFE FOREVER AND EVER IN GOD'S LOVING ARMS MAKES LIFE MUCH BETTER, THOUGH THE YEARNING FOR YOUR PRESENCE WILL NEVER PASS UNTIL SOMEDAY WHEN WE MEET AGAIN. I LOVE YOU SON.

stacy Friday October 26, 2007 at 10:09 PM

Mom Monday May 28, 2007 at 1:50 PM

Jason, Today is Memorial Day. It's so wonderful to ponder on the gift of memory. I am blessed to have the wonderful memories of a beloved son. Thank you for being who you are and for giving so many people so many wonderful memories. For as long as we are blessed with our memories your life will remain a blessing to all who knows you. With all my love Happy Memorial Day. Love, Mom

Tara Thursday May 17, 2007 at 12:31 AM

Stacy, I remember how much Jason loved that song. When he left us that was the only thing I could think about, he really did try to imagine. At least now he walks with the lord.

Stacy B. Tuesday May 8, 2007 at 11:30 PM

Just wanted to post the lyrics to a song by Cat Stevens "Oh Very Young" Oh very young What will you leave us this time Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while And though your dreams may toss and turn you now They will vanish away like your daddys best jeans Denim blue fading up to the sky And though you want them to last forever You know they never will You know they never will And the patches make the goodbye harder still

Sunday April 8, 2007 at 6:07 PM

I can only imagine What it will be like When I walk By your side I can only imagine What my eyes will see When your face Is before me I can only imagine Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all I can only imagine I can only imagine When that day comes And I find myself Standing in the Son I can only imagine When all I will do Is forever Forever worship You I can only imagine I can only imagine I can only imagine When all I will do Is forever, forever worship you

Stacy Sunday April 8, 2007 at 5:57 PM

Happy Easter Jason

Mark Reece Tuesday April 3, 2007 at 10:30 PM

Life is so precious we don't take the time to stop and ponder. Today U got me thru to help another in need of a hand. A friend (roomate) of mine was on the brink of passing into heaven. But, I would not let him go that way and did the right thing today. In getting him the help he needed. Your my strength and gudiance in this time of need. Ur presence with me helped so much I cannot explain in words. You are still with me and will be everyday I walk this earth and are the greatest. U Lifted up my heart and sole today and I hope U are doing well and looking down on me in this time of need. Love U Always Reece

Mark Reece Sunday March 25, 2007 at 1:23 PM

Spring is here and just drive and feel the wind while I drive. I see U when i look up in the clear blue skies. There is not a day I don't think about U buddy. Love U always Reece

Erica Lewis Tuesday March 20, 2007 at 4:06 PM

Hey Jason. Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you and all the fun times we shared. I know you are havin' fun up there, and watching down on all of your friends and family. Just keep smiling for us, we'll meet again one day.

Stacy Saturday March 17, 2007 at 2:56 AM

It's 3 am I must be lonely...... I miss you Bush....

Mom Wednesday February 21, 2007 at 3:22 PM

The snow was beautiful. I thought of you with the falling of every flake. And my wonderful memories of you are a mulitude more in number and exquisite beauty than all those crystal flakes that fell. During the wake of the day Monday just before daylight on my way to work heading out the hollow to US60, it was a mere 5 degrees. The fresh untouched snow glistened beneath even a hint of light to the like of zillions of little fireflies everywhere in the dead of winter. Ahhh.. breathtaking! {: And I thought of you again.:} Proof once more that there are no small blessings! Just knew that you'd appreciate it all!! I Love you and who you are forever and ever Jason, I always find you in the sweetest things of life. To God be the glory in blessings both great and small, amen. Love Mom

Megan Bush Monday January 29, 2007 at 10:18 PM

Jason...bubby I miss you like crazy. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of your always warm and smiling face, and great hugs you gave. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you. You always end up coming up somewhere in my life with conversations and stuff. I have talked to so many people, that just have told me how much you mean to them, and how much impact you had on them. Just know I love you lots and I can't wait to get to our mansion in the sky and be with you. To walk with our Lord and you, and get to hang out with you and hug you again. Miss and love you bubby! Britt, Jeff, and Mary....I miss you guys and hope to see you soon!

Mom Wednesday January 17, 2007 at 12:09 PM

Just want to say "I love you and miss you sooooo much." Love, Mom

Mom Tuesday December 26, 2006 at 9:47 AM

Merry Christmas sweetheart. Love, Mom, Dad & Sis

Stacy sabogg01@morehead-st.edu Tuesday December 26, 2006 at 1:08 AM

I went to the cemetary to visit Jason yesterday on Christmas. Such a beautiful resting place. It was the first time I had been there in 3 years. It was good to spend time with Jason once again. The lil christmas tree and the flowers were gorgeous! I am very glad to have finally been able to stop by. I know there is a sadness and an emptiness in the Bush famiy, but remember Jason isnt gone, hes only resting :) I love you all and my condolences are with you during the holidays and throughout the entire year.

Mark MarkReece85@yahoo.com Monday November 13, 2006 at 3:36 PM

Today is another monday. I am pondring here on the interent I thought I would drop a line or to and see how you are doing. There is a song out by The Frey called " How To Save A Life" it reminds me of that day and cannot help to cry to the song. Wish I was with ya on that sunday night on my birthday. I know ya came over to my apartment for alittle while then went home. I wish I was at ur house that whole night and could have prevented that to happen to ya. And not having to find ya the next day not with me anymore. There is not a day that goes by I dont think of ya U will always be in my mind body and sole. Ur the greatest Jason Love ya buddy. I loved the poem mary it was great. I was the one that found jason that day. I am glad to find this site so I can talk with U and jason here and tell him how I am doing and feeling. LOVE YA FOREVER JASON

Stacy Saturday November 11, 2006 at 4:11 AM

Mary: That is a beautiful poem. Jason would have loved it. I didn't get to get a paper as I live in Winchester now, hopefully my mom was able to get one for me. I hope you are all doing well :)

Mom Wednesday November 1, 2006 at 7:37 PM

I wrote this poem on Oct.10 2006 for you Son and put it, along with a picture of you, in the Grayson paper that came out on 10/27. "TRUE COLORS" Summer has passed it's plain to see, as beautiful colors adorn the trees.This season's a reminder, as each year shall be, of your true colors so beautiful to me. Orange, as confidence and freedom of your style. Yellow, as softness and sunlight in your smile. And Red's an exquisite color, as this season brings to me, the reminder of Christ's bloodshed as to set our spirits free. So, as life's season ends, it just begins you see. For the Red's not for a season but for ALL ETERNITY!!!!! Love you forever and ever. MOM!

Mark MarkReece85@yahoo.com Tuesday October 31, 2006 at 9:44 AM

Today I want to tell ya I feel ur presents brother. This is my way of healing the wounds of that day I was there with you.

I am doing well I am working with my father and taking over the business and have my own condo. Doing well " Mind Body and Spiritualy." LOVE YA FOREVER REECE

MOM Saturday October 28, 2006 at 4:27 PM

Sometimes I really really get to missin' Jason and I come here to his page, and I feel great comfort at the words I read. But I also feel great sorrow for each of you in his absense. I know just how much grief you've had to bare these past three years. But I'm so thankful that there's always a new note from his friends and family. Just think of it! Even after three years! Could it be that he would've loved and missed you so much as well? I sure do believe he would've! And anyone who knew Jason at all would know that if he had lost any single one of you and was aware of a condolence page, right here is where he'd visit you often. Telling you of his love. I love each of you so much and appreciate you greatly for the continuance of your love for him and for your kindness and support to his family and to one another as his friends. He left us in a place that insists that we strengthen and encourage one another and in a great big sense I think he would've expected nothing less from all of us than to share in happiness the same that we shared with him. I know that as we do that very thing for one another he is yet present, yet smiling. Jason was never one who was selective on friends. If you were in his presence you were his friend. Unless, of course, you chose not to be. And as we all know that was about as uncomon as Jason Bush without a smile!! You rarely ever saw that, for he was truly, and is yet, a happy young man. Jason acquired the genuine happiness that he possesed because of you .... all those who loved him. He had much love and kindness around him and within him. So much in fact, that to him, love wasn't love unless you gave it away! It was free from him to us, just as our love to him in return will always be. Just a word or two that I think he'd have me say to you for him. "I love you! Every single one of you! You know that I do. As you look and see one another just remember that in each sweet face, each pretty smile, each hand shake & hug, there I still shall be. For in the love & beauty of you I yet live on. Oh yeah! Somethin' else! I know on occasion you think you just might feel me around, WELLLLL..... Ha Ha! Once again, all my love forever! And ah, I love my new pad and the door's always open! **** Some things never change ****! I'm smilin' I'm happy and I'm home! LOVE, JASON BUSH." Once again thank you for everything. I love you all. Mary Bush

There is not a day go by or if time is flying by, Jason is with me. He was one of the greatest people I met in my years at Morehead State University. I remember his last words to me were "Happy Birthday Reece." My thoughts and prayers goto the Bush family and friends. LOVE YA FOREVER MARK REECE

Stacy Thursday October 26, 2006 at 3:48 AM

It is that time again, in just a few short hours it will be the 3rd year without Jason. I often wonder what we would all be doing right now if Bush was still here. I always miss Jason and think of him quite frequently, but this time of year he is especially on my mind and right now I just want the family to know I think of him and all of you often. He is a huge part of my life and I love him always for being my friend.

Stacy Wednesday October 4, 2006 at 5:10 AM

Oh Bush I wish you were here....I miss you so much :(

Aunt Kathy Tuesday September 26, 2006 at 1:12 PM

Jason,Just a quick note to let you know how much you are missed by all who know you.Our family really misses the link that you were.Terah and Erik still speak of you often and their faces show the memories of childhood that you guys shared. Some day we will all be together again and we can share old times together. You.Dad and Mamaw keep watching out for us and just remember how much you are loved and missed . Hope to make it to heaven to see you and get my BIG Jason squeeze! Love Always Aunt Kathy

Ada Sunday August 27, 2006 at 12:36 AM

I always seem to come back to Jason's page when I am on this site. I guess I just want to remind Mary, Jeff, and Britni that I haven't forgotten Jason or them. I am always inspired by Mary's and Brit's messages. Love you all.

Megan meggie18_2005@hotmail.com Sunday August 20, 2006 at 1:31 AM

Jason bubby I miss you like crazy cuz. It's not the same without you on the days we have these family get togethers, it is just so unreal not to have you there with me talking to me. You was really the only one I stuck by and talked to there. I miss you like crazy! Man Jason there is not a day that goes by that something doesn't remind me of you. I hear people talking about you constantly, but in a good way. On Memorial Day the Grayson Nazarene Church did a memorial church service where they did a memorial slideshow, and you made such a impact on their lives there you was on there. I lost it Jason when I seen your picture and smiling face. That is how I always seen you. I have a picture of you that always makes me happy to see. I have it on my website in memorial of you. I miss you bubby and love you lots. Huge hugs! Can't wait to see you in Heaven!

Kimberly Day feltysgirl03@yahoo.com Friday August 18, 2006 at 1:05 AM

Hey Jason, I was just talking to britni and reading through all of your messages that everyone has wrote. I havent gotten the chance to speak to your mom and dad lately. I miss ya, I always thought of you like a big brother (i was around you and britni like 24/7) growing up. I never will forget the day you landed on my head while on the trampoline, and how you referred to me as "the real kim shady" I was thinking of you the other night,listening to a song and if i would have known that this website was here I would have posted a message. Well I have to end now, I just wanted to write to say I love ya and I will never forget you.

Huff Wednesday August 9, 2006 at 7:53 AM

First of all i'm so sorry its been so long since i have wrote, but you know there isn't a day that i don't talk to you. everyday i find myself thinking about you and talking to you in my thoughts. Its been a rough year and honestly, the feel of your presence and guidence has helped so much. Even though your not here in person, you seem to remain with me in spirt. I'm forever greatful. As Christmas approaches I can't help but dred it. It was my dad's favorite holiday and I spent the day with him every year. Its gonna be so hard, and i'm trying to be there for my sis, but the pain gets so bad sometimes. The strangest thing helps tho. When your mom came to see me, she brought me a neckless of yours and this little red-haired troll... :) they make me smile and help me get through another day. I miss talking to your mom. She is a wonderful person. So encouraging and the sweetest person i have ever met. My thoughts are with her everyday. I miss you Jason, more than words can say! I'm thinking about you and always will. I love you and Merry Christmas.

Today I finally brought myself to check the condolence page I hadn't visited it since the last of Aug.. I should've known that I would miss something wonderful from your friends. They are the best! I'm thankful that the memories of you are still counted as precious jewels in their lives. There is somewhat a comfort in knowing that you are still ever present in spirit and still turn our tears into smiles as we allow our selves to relive those moments that we've spent with you. And some great day we'll be with you forever in the presence of our Lord Jesus. Though life must go on here until that time comes, you're life, my dear son will be a guide to all who knew you. You have instilled in each of us the power of love and the importance of acceptance. You were never afraid to let anyone know that you love God and through that love you were able to love everyone unconditionally! I'm not burring my head in the sand and saying that you didn't have trying times, as we all do. But I know that the Lord, whom you loved so much and depended on turned all those trials into victory. We all Love you and thank God for you! Love, Mom

I love you AND MISS YOU TNT lots of hugs and kisses.xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Holly Osborne hollyjosborne@yahoo.com Thursday October 27, 2005 at 10:20 AM

In Memory of you today Jason, I wanted to post this new song by Kenny Chesney that always makes me think of you. It's called "Who You'd Be Today." Sunny days seem to hurt the most Wear the pain like a heavy coat I feel you everywhere I go See your smile, I see your face I hear you laughing in the rain Still can't believe your gone (Chorus:) It ain't fair you died to young Like a story that had just begun But death tore the pages all away God knows how I miss you All the hell that I've been through Just knowing, no one could take your place Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today Would you see the world Would you chase your dreams Settle down with a family I wonder what would you name your babies Someday's the sky's so blue I feel like I can talk to you And I know it might sound crazy (Chorus) Sunny days seem to hurt the most I wear the pain like a heavy coat The only thing that gives me hope Is I know, I'll see you again someday Someday, someday I love you Bush....and miss you so much.

Holly Osborne hollyjosborne@yahoo.com Thursday October 27, 2005 at 9:27 AM

Oh Jason...we all miss you SO much today. As I was laying in bed last night about to drift off to sleep, you popped into my mind. I remembered the night you, Toby and I went to the lake and I was scared to put my feet down on the bottom of the lake (ew!) and so you held onto my hand while I floated and then carried me to the car. You were SO sweet to do that for me, even though I was just being a big baby. Then, I was wondering why I suddenly thought about that day, and realized that today you have been in heaven for two years. Though a part of me feels like an eternity since you have been gone, another part of me feels like we just went to the lake together a week or two ago. Everyday I think of you, but especially today I can feel you near. I love you and miss you so much Jason!! You will never be forgotten. Hugs and Kisses - Holly

stacy sabogg01@morehead-st.edu Thursday October 27, 2005 at 12:30 AM

It has been 2 years now and I am still sad. Time does not heal the pain that I feel of not having Jason in my life. I am so lucky to have been able to be a part of Jason's life. I hold all of our special memories close to my heart. When I feel sad I think of some of those treasured moments and they always bring a smile to my face. I am blessed to have been able to accumulate so many wonderful memories. Jason touched my life and for that I am thankful.

Hi Jason! Happy Belated Birthday! I was just thinking of you the other day as I realized my Birthday was rapidly approaching and so was yours! I wish you were here so we could celebrate together again. It is coming up on the date when we first met two years ago and it makes me miss you so bad. I know I have said this before, but most of my friends in Morehead would not be my friends if it weren't for you! It is amazing how many people you brought into my life and most importantly Jason Smith. Through you I met the man I have loved more than anything in my entire life including more than I love myself. For so many reasons, I am so thankful to God that I met you on Christy Creek that summer night. I am gonna go for now. I just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you, especially this time of year. Happy Birthday Buddy! I wish you could be here with me on Friday as we celebrate my birthday, but I know you will be celebrating with me from Heaven! Jason and I love and miss you so much and continue to think of you every day! Hugs and Kisses! Holly

To all the family, I'm so sorry about your loss. I just now found out this website. Jason was a great person. I'm thankful for the time I got to be around him. I hadn't seen him for awhile since I moved and he went away to college. My prayers go out to all the family and friends. Love, Kim

MOM Saturday March 5, 2005 at 3:38 PM

I just want to tell you Jason that sometimes the noise of your absense is so loud.. Like a song with no music, there's no lyrics, it comes in sudden waves that stirs our every emotion and then there's that occasional bold pause of silence that makes you stop for a moment and just listen; All in perfect timing..... TO THE MOMENTS OF EACH DAY.....THE MEMORIES OF OUR PAST.....AND THE PROMISE OF THE FUTURE! (I'm so thankful for that promise!!) 'But as for the present. . . . I miss the past.' I love you Jason, and in these words I speak for your daddy and your sister too. I guess if we were to name the noise in the silence it would simply be "our undying love". Forever and always DAD, SIS, & MOM

Derek Griffith dgriffith@fnbgrayson.com Thursday January 27, 2005 at 2:09 PM

Its hard to believe that it has been this long since you've not been here. I remember all of the good times of us playing music together in our band back in high school and you always preaching at me about going to church. Church was the last thing on my mind in those days in time. You were a big inspiration and a light to me and its hard to believe where I'm at today with Christ and being ordained to preach his word. I appreciate all of the things that you done for me. I remember talking to you a few times at the bank before you were called out. Those were times that I will always cherish because after we graduated high school and got out we didn't mingle allot. I can say one day, one glorious day, that we will mingle in heaven. We love and miss you. Derek & Ashley

Megan Bush meggie_n_barry@yahoo.com Saturday January 22, 2005 at 6:48 PM

Hey cuz I miss you so much. When the family things come around that always happened, it feels weird not seeing you there. I think about you all the time, and miss you like crazy. I miss your smile, and the way you always was. It seems weird going to high school dances or any dances at all, and not having you there as our dj. Our prom will be coming soon, and it just will seem so weird not seeing you there dj. It did last year I know. As well as this Homecoming. I love you and miss you lots. Jeff, Mary, Britt havent see you guys in a while. But I miss you guys and once this weather clears up hope to get in contact with you soon. If you ever need anything you know how to get ahold of me. Love you guys lots. Take care and miss you guys! Love you cousin Megan!

Jason, As you well know, today is my birthday. I miss the special way that you always acknowledged my special days. But the memories are so comforting. I love you Jason. I know that some may see it as silly to write to you this way but you would've counted it as way too cool! As always your positive outlook on many things in this life still inspires all who knew you. So, I'm remembering, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, FROM YOU!! I love you, from the depths of my heart. Love Mom!! xoxoxo

Holly Osborne hollyjosborne@yahoo.com Wednesday December 15, 2004 at 10:41 AM

Hey Bush. I just wanted to write a quick note to tell you how much Jason and I miss you and think about you everyday. Even though we are far away from Kentucky now, you are always on my minds. I can't go to the cemetary as often as I used to, but it's okay because you aren't there anyway. You are all around us and in our hearts! I can't tell you how many times I have come near an accident or gone through something tough and I knew you were right there watching over me...I could feel it. On the anniversary of the day you left us, Jason and I had a little "ceremony" in your memory. I know you were probably looking down on us and laughing, because we ended up laughing then too. Hope is going to have her baby now, and when she is born I will give her a big bear hug for you!! I know that is what you would have done! Please watch over Hope in the days to come so that everything will be okay. Jason and I went to see your Mom, Dad, and Britni a couple weekends ago and you can see by being with them that they can feel you there still all around them. It is so amazing! Well sweetie, we all miss you SO MUCH!!! I will come by the cemetary when I go home for Christmas next week. You are always on my mind. I wanna leave you with some lyrics to a song that always reminds me of you and of all the times we had hanging out in your room listening to Pink Floyd. We played it for you on the 27th and I play it just about everyday. "How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimmin in a fish bowl, year after year. Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears. Wish you were here." I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!! Love always, Holly

Trisha Tyson flossiediva1@hotmail.com Monday November 29, 2004 at 6:30 PM

Hey bud, just wanted to let you know you are always in my heart and always on my mind, I went up and saw you this weekend and you would be so proud of your mom and dad how they have it all fixed up there. I miss you so much and I know you are always here with me and always smiling down on us all. I Love you xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Stacy sabogg01@adelphia.net Wednesday October 27, 2004 at 11:37 PM

A poem that I found online that I thought I would share: I Did Not Die Do not stand at my grave and forever weep. I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and forever cry. I am not there. I did not die. Melinda Sue Pacho

stacy sabogg01@adelphia.net Wednesday October 27, 2004 at 11:30 PM

It has been a year now, and my thoughts and prayers are with everyone that experienced the loss of a wonderful friend and family member that we all loved so much. I miss Jason very much and often wonder how things in life would be different if Jason was still with us. In spirit, I know he is with us still. Jason is loved by all of us here in Morehead and we miss him dearly.

Trisha Tyson flossiediva1@hotmail.com Wednesday October 27, 2004 at 10:58 PM

sammatha guardangel_02@hotmail.com Tuesday October 26, 2004 at 8:56 PM

Jason, where do i even start? its so hard to put into words the amount of pain we are all feeling now. personally it seem unbarable. i spoke to your mom earlier. she called me "just to tell me she loved me" hehe..that really made me smile. you of all people know how hard the past 2 weeks are for me. you were comforting me this time last year with the loss of my aunt and now i feel you comforting me again with this whole situtation. i just miss you so very much. i still have my rose. its in my curio cabinet along with your picture. its something that i have to look at everyday. a year ago today you gave me that rose and told me we had forever. i know we do, even if time is only delayed at the moment. i know that we will soon be together once again and i as well as all your loved ones will get to see your smiling face and feel your arms wrap around each and everyone of us. oh yeah, you also owe me dinner! lol. i'm still waiting and i will be forever. Jason, no one will ever fill this emptiness in my heart and at the same time no one will ever make my heart seem so full of love. tomorrow is the 27th. my only goal is to survive the day. i was telling your mom that i won't even be upset if i cry all day, just as long as i get through it. losing you was the worst thing in my life and finding you was the greatest.. i love you so very much and i will always! i will be thinking about you and missing you everyday for the rest of my life and until we are together again, i will live for you and to know that you are smiling makes my day easier to deal with. i love you sweetie!!!!!

Trisha Tyson flossiediva1@hotmail.com Monday October 25, 2004 at 11:00 PM

Things just aren't the same without Jason. I enjoyed his bright smile and fun company when he was there. I have so many wonderful memories that I will never forget. Like water fights, sliegh riding, fishing, drives at night, and of course dancing. Holidays aren't the same and I know what it is, it's because Jay is missing. Even though he's left this world, he left it behind for a better place. Jason was a remarkable young man. He is truly missed. One year ago my life was changed forever, my forever friend, and what I always called a brother was gone forever but he will always remain in my heart and part of my every day life. I Love You Jason and miss you so much. I go to bed and pray that I'll wake with one more day with you. Your my angel Jay, I Love You. And Jeff,Mary, and Brittany I wish I could be there to just hold you all, and remember all the good times we all had together. My prayers and thoughts are always with you.

hey sweetie! wow...where has time gone. as oct. 27th gets closer, the more nervous and scared and well there are too many emotions!!! i miss you so much! its strange to think this time last year i was with you, in your arms, talking and chatting about everything. i'll never let go of those memories and in fact they are what motivate me everyday. i live not only for myself, but for you also. i hope that as you watch over us all, you are smiling with us! you are wonderful and their will never be anyone to ever replace how you made me feel and how you have made everyone else feel. i miss you and i love you very much. p.s. your mom is so wonderful! hehe i love her so much. i honestly don't know what i would do if i didn't have your presence with me everyday and your mom to talk with and sit with at her goldfish pond :)!!!

Mary Bush Wednesday September 8, 2004 at 11:34 AM

I just want to say, "Thank you!", for the continuing condolences. This page brings me much comfort as I'm sure it does to many. My heart goes out to all those who continue to feel the absense of Jason. I wish I could hold each of you in one big giant hug. I think that is just one part of what we miss from Jason is his big bear hugs. They were always truely from the heart and so fulfilling. I can still feel his hugs and laughter when I see and hear from his friends. I'm so thankful that each of you have been so kind and thoughtful to us. Jeff, Britni and I have been and continue to be enspired to press on as best as we can because of the wonderful people that Jason has brought into our lives. Each one of you are precious in our eyes and we want to be here for you too. Please continue to call and to visit. We always have such a great time with you. The impact that Jason has had on your lives shows through your sweet smiles and is felt through your hugs and laughter. Thank each of you so much. We love you and hope that we too can be of some inspiration in your lives as well as you have in ours. HUGS AND PRAYERS to each and each & every one of you. With Love, Jeff, Mary Britni (and Jason too!)

I can't believe it's almost been a year since you were taken away from us. The pain today is still very fresh and hurtful. I wonder if the pain of our loss will ever go away. I still can't grasp that you are gone. I'm sorry Jason and I don't think I can say that enough. Not one day goes by that I don't wish for one more minute with you.I find myselfthinking about his smiling face and the fun times and laughs we shared together more than ever. Jason was not just a friend, he was like a brother, and I think about him nearly everyday.I have pictures everywhere, Ieven have a picture in my car. So I always see him smiling, reminding me of how precious, and how fragile life really is. You have touched so many lives. You are missed and loved but NEVER forgotten. Mary,Jeff, and Brit will really need our help as family and friends to get through this hard time of year.Life is short, so make every day count and find something to SMILE about, because I know Jason would. Love You All and God Bless--Trisha

Jason I miss you, Its so hard to believe that it has been almost a year already. I want to apologize Mary and Jeff for not calling or writing. I feel terrible about that. Even though I havent kept in touch like i should, I still love you all and Jason is always in my thoughts; When i see a car like his, or I am on my way to Olive Hill and I pass by the old house, hearing some of his favorite songs......Jason Made a huge impact on the lives of everyone he met, and even though he is no longer physically with us, he is still making an impact. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. (Matthew 5:4)

Mary and Britni, I just want to say that you have both been in my thoughts and prayers often. I don't know if you remember me. I am Matt's sister. We went to school with Jason at IPCA. What I remember most about Jason was his smile and his winning personality. He was always there to cheer us up. It's still hard to realize that he is gone. IF you ever need anything just e-mail me. Jason I just want to say I miss you very much and wish I was able to see you again but I know I will see you again someday in Heaven. May God Bless You all! Love, Melissa

MOM Wednesday June 2, 2004 at 11:48 AM

Jason, I Love You. Though the days swiftly move by it seems that time frequently stands still and afixes itself to memories of you, time just has a way of doing it's own thing, I guess? We are all doing pretty well at making the best of life day to day. So many still show their love for you and I am so thankful for that. Your flowers are beautiful and are of every color. Just like you Jason, Simply Beautiful! Your condolences will soon be at 100, so many people; so much love....I can't hardly put into words the emotions within my heart as your 21st birthday quickly approaches. I hope that day is filled with joy and laughter in celebration of your life, because that's how you'd want it to be. I'll try hard to do just that, but who's to say?? I miss you....like so many more that love you so much. And it still amazes me that through it all you've been able to keep us laughing in the midst of our tears. Your joy lives on through all that knew you. Love, Mom

britni bush Monday May 24, 2004 at 11:37 PM

hey bubby, i just am not sure the reasons for everything! why things happen the way they do and why your not still here with me and its hard!! mom has been camping up at the lake and i have been cliff jumping and it just don't seem right 99.9% of the time it was just me and u. and nobody will ever will replace that! i think about all the fun and crazy times we have had and all the time we have spent together and it feels like half of me is gone, i think about ya everyday. a couple nights ago smith came in and i took him and 2 of his friends up to see ya, it was about midnight. I started my new job on the 13 at flying j's and my goal is to take some of my money out of every check and save it and get ya a new paint job on your car. I know that was what you wanted to do. i leave you litte notes in your mail box up at the cemetary all of the time!! i love you bub and know matter what i will never forget all of the great memories we have had together and i hope you under stand the situations i got my self into in may of last year but i know u know i am sorry and i just wanted to say thanks for being there for me and even though your not here i feel you with me everyday. you told me since i was little you would always be there and you still are. jay you were one in a million and i was blessed to have you for my brother. I LOVE YOU!!!! XOXOXOXOXO LOVE, SIS

Hey Jay, its so hard to realize your not here but I'm trying so hard its just not working. I talked to mom2 and she told me your stone was in and that I would be so proud, and I am but when I saw it, it was all real and that I didnt like at all. I miss you so much words can never express. I thank you so much for me giving the strength and the wisdom, and the willpower that you gave to take care of tyler and thank you for watching over him and being his ANGEL at his time of need. I miss you and love you and I'll be up again next week to see you I love you xoxoxoxoxoxoxo and many more.

sami jo guardangel_02@hotmail.com Thursday May 20, 2004 at 1:27 AM

Hey Cutie! I miss you soo much! I know that everyone says that time eases all pain and it never goes away but with time it gets easier to deal with. Is this really true? I keep hoping that it is but right now i'm not feeling it as being so. i'm sitting in my apartment listening to your CD. Eternal Light is playing right now and all i can think about is you. You are constantly on my mind and i miss you so very much. Your smile, your laugh, the way you talked to me and comforted me. i miss that so much and i i'm sorry for being selfish but i really need that right now. i so badly want to feel your arms wrap around me and once again feel those hugs! I called your mom not to long ago and she told me that Brit had came home. Jason i'm so relived that she is ok and safe. She called me and needed someone to talk to so i drove straight up there to be with her. she is awsome and you were right... i hope i get to spend more time with her and your family. everything is still really hard tho. i know that you want us all to be happy and i am trying. but every decision i seem to make is revloved around you in some way. i don't want to dissappoint you in anyway. you hold a special place in my heart and you always will...with that there is also a hole that will never be filled. i do love you and i do believe that we will always have forever, especally in our hearts. i know your watching over all of us and i can't wait until we see each other again. my life will never feel complete without you, but i feel honored to have the memories that i do and i will hold on to them and cherish them for the rest of my life! i miss you and i love you lots!!!

Mom Thursday May 13, 2004 at 7:55 AM

Hi Jason, I Love You and want to share the poem that I wrote for you on Mother's Day. It seems a little odd my child How things have turned around This Mother's Day I send to you A poem I've written down You never did forget me Son Any time of year Particularly on the special days Your voice sure to hear Today I miss the smiles you gave On 20 Mother's Days The hand I held the big BEAR HUGS You pulling in my driveway The simple little things in life Are what you always gave Like the dream I had the other night When you just smiled and waved Not a word was spoken There was no need to be The radiance of your smiling face Is everything to me The greatest gift a mother receives Is a child's eternal love A treasure you continue to give As you send it from above So, on this day that's set aside In the honor of all mothers I turn the honor to you, my son For you were like none other Happy Mother's Day Jason Love Mom, 05/09/04 xoxoxo......

Megan Bush meggie_bush04@hotmail.com Saturday April 24, 2004 at 6:22 PM

Jason wow bub how I miss you! You was always here for me. I miss you so much and just wish I could have said goodbye. But I know I shouldnt be selfish, and wish you back here. You are up in heaven with your lord, and having the best time of your life. I am sure you are up there in heaven bragging on your family, smiling down on us, playing and singing songs to all around you, and sharing your kindness for all. You always did. Your mom came up the day before Valentines Day and brought the song you wrote for Valentines Day up. She brought it up to me at work, and asked us to play it. I got work to let us play it, and Jason let me tell you that was a great song. Your mom gave me the copy, and I have it in my car and listen to it almost everyday. It just brings a smile on my face, and I love sharing it with others. The wonderful song Girl of My Dreams you wrote was a great song, and you sure can sing and play the guitar. I have seen your mom and dad out and about. THey seem to be doing good Jason. But hey dont we all. They are just taking it day by day and rejoicing in the time they had with you. I know I thank God everyday for you being a part of my family. I also ask God when I have a problem, that he will allow you to be my guardian angel and help me decide what is the best for me to do. The best way to solve my problem, or have you help me with it. Boy when the sun is shining, it makes me think of your wonderful smile. I feel that it is you smiling down on us, when you are so proud of us. Mary, Jeff and Britni I hope you guys know I am always here for you. You sure do know how to get ahold of me. Jason was such a great person and I cant stop thinking about him everday. I love you guys! Cant wait to see you guys soon, and see Jason whenever we leave this world. Take care! *Megan*

And in the love that is shared between all of us. But I still look forward to the day we can hold each other close once again and when we can walk hand in hand forever. Your memory makes me smile through my tears. And daily your voice pushes me forward. I love you. Love, Mom

sammatha guardangel_02@hotmail.com Friday January 30, 2004 at 7:51 PM

Jason, its been a long time since i wrote on here but i have been writing to you everyday in my journal. You're always on my mind but today seemed a little different than most others. i'm not sure why..but anyways. i'm still missing you like crazy and i don't think the pain will ever get any easier. i went and spent some time with you mom about a week or so ago and i took her a birtday present...well it was kinda funny b/c we both each other the same present (cross neckless') when she opened it she giggled and gave me a gift..it was wonderful...as i'm sure you know, we sat in your room for a few hours and talked about anything you can think of. Its wierd, i haven't known her for a long period of time and i dont' get to see her everyday but she and your dad are such an important part of my life. They have both helped me so much the past couple of months and even tho i know you are not here with me in person, i can feel you beside me everyday in everything i do. I woke up this morning and we had a delay on classes...i didn't want to go to chem but i heard your voice telling me to go, so i got up and went. its things like that that help motivate me to do things anymore. i know that you want us all to be happy but it still so hard not being able to share life with you in person. I know our time together was cute short and i am sure that there was a reason for it, i just don't want to except it i guess. I still want to wake up and be looking forward to your call. I drove by your house today and to be honest it doesn't even look the same to me. It broke my heart to drive by; once again reality hit me i guess. Your mom burnt me a copy of some songs you recorded and part of my daily routine consist of listening to it..it's one of the rare things that can make me smile and i guess also cry at the same time. I just wish that we could have had more time together and i know that someday we will be together again. your such a special person and everyday it seems like you hear about someone's life that you touched. i still can't bring myself to visit the grave site...i don't want to believe that your body is there... i keep waiting to see you walking around on campus or when i go to visit jeff and mary, for you to be there. i don't think that this will ever get easier but i pray everyday that you are happy and that all of your love ones can feel your presence as much as i do. You truely are an angel!!! well i guess i will go for now...i miss you sweetie and i love ya very much. *kiss*

Kayla Hall ckychick2003@yahoo.com Thursday January 29, 2004 at 7:36 AM

Hey Jason. i really miss you a lot. i was thinking the other day about star school and all the memories that i have from there. and you know what, the first thing that popped in my head was when me and you were in the royalty race together. i was your little princess. And i just want you to know that i will always be your little princess. And to your family, i want you all to know that if you need anything, i am only a phone call away. And i will always be here for you.

Trisha tnt_12580@hotmail.com Tuesday January 27, 2004 at 11:50 PM

I cant seem to ever stop writting but it seems to calm me because i dont think of you as being gone. your with us everyday in everything we do, I miss you so much Jason. I spent some time with your mom this weekend and it was so special because it just shows me how much we have to hold on too in life in general. I love you jason keep an eye on us all.

Ada thepurdone@aol.com Wednesday January 21, 2004 at 1:52 AM

Mary, Jeff, and Brit, Rhea told me about this page and she was overwhelmed by all the messages and good things people had written about Jason. I came here to read them and I, too, am overwhelmed. Jason was a wonderful young man. That was evident in the way he treated other people. He had a wonderful relationship with you, his family. He loved his Mamaw Shaffer and he always told her and showed her that he did. I don't believe Jason ever said one ill word about anyone at school, either. He was loved by everyone who knew him. That is so obvious in the messages written here by friends from Grayson and Morehead. As the days go by, Mary, I find myself thinking more and more of you. I can't imagine your pain. I feel nausea when I think of how you must feel. But, somehow, I keep remembering hearing you sing for your mamaw at church on the Sunday we had her "special day". You had the sweetest voice and song that day. It sounded angelic! Someday you will be with Jason again and you will feel wonderful joy! One thing you need to remember: It will seem like a long time to you, but it will seem to Jason like no time passes until you see him again. Jason is more alive than he has ever been! He will be waiting for us all. And from the messages I have read here tonight, he won't be spending any time alone! I have no words to comfort you except God's word: "I am the ressurection and the life. He who believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. He who believeth in me shall never die." I Love You, Ada

Raine Elliott Rainebo7@aol.com Friday January 16, 2004 at 7:09 PM

Jason was my BIG cousin. I'll never forget those Hugs he would give me as soon as i would arrive at his house in Kentucky. I live in Ohio, so i didn't see him but once a year. Oh, and that big, bright, welcoming smile he had on his face is absolutely unforgettable. He was always so funny, and great to be around, and when i was younger, he wouldn't treat me like i was a little kid, but he would include me in things that he was doing. I always looked up to him. It was always me, Britni, then Jason and Mylon. I'll never forget the summer i was there, and Britni was away to visit her grandma for the week; so it was just me, Jason, and Mylon. Jason included me in everything they did. The thing i remember the most about that week was the water fight us three had. It was such a blast. I'll never forget the one summer Jason tried to teach me how to drive a dirt bike. I never learned, but had soo much fun trying. HaHa. Jason's laugh was one of his greatest features. Even if something wasn't really that funny, but Jason thought it was, he would laugh so hard, and then everyone would just bust up laughing. I think that was what made him soo fun to be around. I will never forget Jason. He is in my heart forever, and all the memories that we shared. My visits to Kentucky will never be the same without him. But i guess we should be thankful for the time that we had with him, even though it was so short. I love you Jason. Your are truly missed. And to the rest of the family- I know we all miss him, but we sure were blessed to have him in our lives. God bless you all. Love, Raine

Rhea Evans tubagirl@email.com Monday January 5, 2004 at 11:37 PM

What can I say? Jason was my big cousin! I knew what a special person Jason was, nut I never knew just ho great of an impact he had on those around him. I remember back when he was at my house when I was 4 or 5, and I told him I would give him a pumpkin if he would marry me! I was thrilled later on when he was the ring bearer in my sisters wedding, and I was the flower girl!!! I had the honor of going to Church with Jason for several years. I remember the way Jason helped out all of the elderly in the Church. He was so humble and kind with them, and they all loved him so much! I remember the beautiful songs that he would write and sing at Church. The songs were so beautiful, and it was such an inspiration to see such a talented person use his gifts for God! I remember the night before our Mamaw died, him and Britni came to my house. They both tried so hard to help me cheer up, and before I knew it, we were all three outside, and Jason was picking me up off of the chair on the porch, and holding me up in the air! A person sure felt a certain comfort when he held you in those great big arms! The next day when she passed away, I remember "Lou Lou" coming out and telling me that Mamaw wouldnt want us to be sad, and that she thought that me and her should roll down the hill together, do we did! I have often thought of that since Jason died, and I know that Jason would like nothing more than for us to do that same thing now! I have also held to the song that Jason's mom used to sing: "Ain't No Grave." And I truly believe that. I know that Jason will not let any grave stand in his way, when the time comes! I miss Jason so bad, but I know that we will see him again! Jason is in a far better place, and he's with Mamaw now! And as the song says: " Ive got more to go to Heaven for, than I did yesterday!!!" Love you all.....

I am sorry about the loss of Jason, he was a really good guy. I remember how Jason came and sat with me at lunch @ EC when I was setting alone. That was really sweet..it just made my day! My prayers are with you all.

Merry Christmas babe! Keep on us all, and let your love shine down.

We love you and miss you Jason. Your truely missed.

Trisha Tyson Thursday December 11, 2003 at 6:41 PM

Jason you were really here with me today and I really needed you, All I had to do is say your name and you were here, Im stopping by the grave yard today, it looks so real but forgive me if I cant see you everyday because I live so far, your always with me though and little tyler shine down him. Your mom always said he is growing like you, hes almost 5lbs. It starting to snow but theres not much of anything, I guess your going to make sure we dont get alot because you cant play too, but trustmeever time we may get hurt or something stupid happens like sliding sliding off your roof you will be there laughing at us. I miss you baby and love you see you tomomorrow.

Mary Bush jeffandmary@utionline.net Thursday December 11, 2003 at 10:32 AM

I just want to say, "Thank you!" to each and everyone of you who have taken the time to send condolences in memory of Jason. I'm so thankful that he left such a great impact on so many people. It's been a little while now but the absence seems to be more of a reality each day. It's all because of people like that you that we (his family) have been able to hold on. Even the smallest ray of light chases away the darkness. You keep reminding us that Jason lives on in the wonderful memories that he took the time to make with us. I'm ever so thankful that I taught him about Jesus and His love from the begining of his life. He truly never forgot it!! As a matter of fact he shared it wherever he was. Even if he didn't get the chance to mention Him to each person he shared Him in his smile and in his disposition. Our smallest deeds often bear the intermost depths of our hearts. We never got to say good-bye but I guess it's because that would be to final. God lets me feel Jason's presence when I long for him. I just close my eyes sometimes and I know that he's waiting close by. God promises us that he sends guardian angels so I have no doubt that they can see us from the other side. Jason was always ready to do what he could for anyone who asked when he was here. So I can just hear him ask God now, "Can I go help that one Father, please?" So if you ever find yourself in need of special help and you call upon our Father don't be in the least surprised if you feel accompanied by your special angel. Jason made so many feel special, even me. At times I felt that I would never grow old. He always told people, "You've got to meet my mom! She's cool, you'll really like her!" He always gave me alot to live up to. Ha!Ha! But, he always tried to make everyone see the better side of themselves, that was because the better side of people was what Jason always looked for, and it just took him a moment to see it. Jason was never far from heaven. And in all reality, neither are we. I am constantly reminded, God's purpose is bigger than our pain and He will never leave or forsake us. I will never ever quit missing him. But all in all, I would rather have had and lost than never to have had at all. Thank you once again for loving Jason and remembering well of him. I don't think he ever knew just how wonderful he was. I hope that the calls and visits continue from all his friends. I love you!! Jason's Mom, Mary Bush

I really dont know where to start it doesnt feel real at all, Im still thinking hes at school just away for awile, we were all so close we grew up together parties, sleigh riding, you name it we were the 5 muskteersBrit,Jason,Erik, Derek, and me we were all so close it will never be the same all we have are memories but I promise you all the times we had together were precious he always made us laugh when we were down, he always made me feel pretty when I didnt look like it or feel like it. There isnt a day that goes by that I dont think of him,all I can say is I know he is in a much better placeand always smiling down on us and watching the crazy things that we may do. Every time I go home I stop by and see him and let him know that everything is ok. To the family I love you guys and see you soon and always keep your head up and rely onGod he will never let you down. God needed the strongest angel and thats what he got. Love and miss you TNT.

Jeff, Mary, and Britni, though you probably do not know me I know what you are going through, after the loss of my brother Roger Dale Moore in Sept, I find myself praying alot lately and since I heard about Jason you have been in my prayers, though I am several years older then Jason I knew him though mutual friends, Jason was like Roger in so many ways they both always had that goofy smile on their faces and could brighten anyone's day just by walking in the room, Jason did that for me many times with just a "hey how are you?" in the hall way and a friendly smile, I am continueing to pray for you all. May god bless you and watch over you.

Jessica Robertson jessicar_00@hotmail.com Friday November 28, 2003 at 8:49 PM

I went up to the cemetary today(nov. 28) to see my grandfathers grave, jason is beside of him, the black marks are still there....i think about him everyday, what a great guy!

Kathryn Cleaver kathryn_cleaver@yahoo.com Wednesday November 26, 2003 at 11:22 AM

I don't know how or where to begin, I met Jason at McDonalds durning my senior year at MSU and we hit it off from the start. From computers to Big Macs he knew what he was talking about and I enjoyed his company. It is hard to think he has moved on to a better place becaue I was so wrapped up in "my" life that I did not take the time to get to know what was going on in others life. I wish I could take Jason up on his offer to hang out! In conclusion, NEVER TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED AND LIVE EACH LIKE IT WAS YOUR LAST! carpi diem

Jussie Rice jussierice@hotmail.com Saturday November 15, 2003 at 1:59 AM

Im not sure what could be said about Jason that hasn't already been. I think of him so often that I sometimes dont realize he's really gone. When Jason first met me he laughed and said that I was a peculiar one that could grow on him. From that day on whether just passing through town or seeing each other in public his smile was just like a big light that immediately turned on. I started Morehead this semester and every day that I seen Jason I felt his energy immediately. It's so hard to believe that someone so special gets taken so early. He had called me the Saturday before everything and his message on my phone was the normal message that no one thinks anything about. A friend checking in on another friend, being bored, wanting to chat about anything. I wish I could have got my voicemail before it was too late. I would have loved to heard him that one last time. I'm sure that god really does put good people on earth to grow and endure what life throws at them just so he can take them back and make heaven even brighter. I do know one thing, Jason Bush has lit heaven up like a football stadium with that big bright smile. My thoughts are with you Jeff, Mary, and Britni. I'm very sorry for your loss.

A. Nerissa Fields ehkaye@alltel.net Friday November 14, 2003 at 3:05 PM

Bush had a beautiful way about him. He could literally just make you feel better to be around him because his joy and happiness was so contagious. I miss seeing you at work Bush. Some people just make work, and life, better. You were one of those people.

Kewin Lyons kewinly@yahoo.com Thursday November 13, 2003 at 2:06 PM

Really and truthfully there are no words nor ways I can express the sorrow I felt as I was told upon Jason's death. He was a talented young man, great on computers and was more than a colleuge to me, we have had good times and times where we were trying to keep our heads above water with our grades in college. The last time I saw Jason was on Sept. 11th as always I shook his hand and showed him the same respect he had shown me in our 2 years of freindship. Jason put motivation in people who had none, namely myself as a senior in science I doubted my grades and talent, because of science papers about 30 pages long. Jason quickly calmed me down and had helped me type 2 of those papers which took about 5 or 6 hours of his own time. Thats what kind of person Jason was a giver of light not a taker. I hope with thy lord up in heaven, help Jason ascend his way up to heaven and may God watch over him. My sincerest condolences to his family and freinds. I knew that, my last trip to Kentucky would be my last to see my freinds, but this is hard to deal with, and as Stacy called my house and told me what happened, it definatly shocked me. I can still remember when Jason, Smith, Huff and I every once in a while or at a party would have a good time. It was like he brought a certain aura or vibe to the table that would make his environment around him glow in awe of his presence. Jason I am going to miss ya brother as all of us surely will. W. Kewin Lyons

I meet Jason in vocatinal school. Even though i didn't have a class with him or know him very well, he always knew how to entertain at break time. Sometimes I think back and realize he was the highlight of my day. You could just look at that big goofy grin and know he was about to make you laugh. You have lost a very special person, But always remember he's on the other side of those gates just waiting to make everyone smile agian. May God bless you and watch over you!

Sammatha Sawyer (sami-jo) guardangel_02@hotmail.com Wednesday November 12, 2003 at 3:14 AM

Jeff, Mary, and britni..i'm sooo sorry for your loss. Jason was such a wonderful person and even though i didn't get to spend much time with him, he was truely and inspiration to me and he will always hold a special place in my heart. I don't think that there are words to express how someone feels when something like this happens, but we all know that Jason had an impact on everyone that he had ever met and with that Jason will always be with us. he has a wonderful family and i love you all.. Jason, i miss you terribly and wish everyday that you were here with me and your friends and family. I will cherish the memories and you will always be in my heart and on my mind...love sami-jo

Crystal crystal_n_jon@hotmail.com Tuesday November 11, 2003 at 8:33 PM

I am so sorry for your loss. I met Jason through one of his friends and although I didnt know him that well, he could always make me laugh. He was a sweet person and I'm sure he will be remembered forever.

Jason R. Smith kentucky_stud@hotmail.com Friday November 7, 2003 at 3:58 PM

Bush buddy life just isn't the same without you, i keep finding myself looking for you to play guitar with me at parties, and keep wanting to call you and ask you questions because you always helped me out when i was in need. You were like a brother me, In fact, we used to convence everyone that we were brothers (American Legion). You are greatly missed and we all look forward to seeing you again someday. Jeff, Mary, and Britni my heart goes out to you all. You all are like a second family to me. I appreciate everything that you all have done for me. You have always had a home with open doors and always allowed us close friends to come and go as we please. I hope things can still be that way, because I still intend on comming and visiting quite often. Yep haven't gotten rid of me yet. LOL you are all in my prayers. Jason R. Smith

Stacy Boggs sabogg01@morehead-st.edu Wednesday November 5, 2003 at 12:39 PM

To all of Jasons family I am so very sorry for your loss. Myself, and all of Jason's friends appreciate your kindness. Even though you are grieving yourselves, you do your best to compfort us and have only spoken kind words to each and every one of us. If you ever need anything, or just would like to talk dont hesitate to call. Jason will always have a special place in my heart and all the memories we have together will never be forgotten. I spent nearly every day hanging out at Jasons house for the past few months and have known him for almost a year, we defintly have a lot of memories, the memory that I treasure the most right now is the one that occured the night of his passing when he gave me a big hug and said "I love you Stacy Pie (His and Packs Nickname for me), you are my best friend." Well, Jason I love you too and I will miss you greatly, I wish you were here.

Dan & Jeanie Hall Frederick frederickministries@att.net Monday November 3, 2003 at 9:40 PM

Jeff,Mary & Britni, We were very sorry to hear about Jason. Dan and I was in Revival for the week and did not get to be with you all at the viewing or funeral. We ask the church to pray each day for God to give you strength. I know the pain is much greater than what you can recieve right now, please know God sees your tears and cares deeply for you all. His healing will carry and sustain you in this dark walk of your lives. Remember God loves you the most and He will walk beside you all the way. I remember Jason's beautiful smile. He was a happy and giving young man. I remember him coming to Jeremy's house and riding him on the four-wheeler in the field in front of our house. I thought of my Adam when I seen them because Adam, Jerry and Alicia also rode the four-wheeler together when they were just learning. Hold on to all the good memories, they will forever be yours and nothing can take that away. I always told people when Adam died,that God was taking care of him until I could be with them in heaven. My work here is not done and I want to make sure God is pleased with all I do for him. Please know God has a plan for you all. Listen closely to His still small voice and follow Him. We will keep you in our prayers as God continues to guide you up the mountain and out of this valley. We love you all.

Betsy Powers bpowers0@georgetowncollege.edu Monday November 3, 2003 at 8:34 PM

Britni, I don't know if you remember me. I just wanted to say I am sorry for your loss. I was at the funeral and it hurt me to see how hurt you were. If there is anything I can do, don't hesitiate to email me. Jason was a good friend of mine and I miss him incredibly. I cannot imagine how much it must hurt you.

Caitlin Deerfield caitlin_yvonne_deerfield@hotmail.com Monday November 3, 2003 at 3:45 PM

Hey Mary and Jeff! i would just like to say that i am very sorry for what has happened. I'll never forget all of the fun times that all of us has had together. Jason has always been a really nice guy and has never done anything to me.. i will never forget him.. dont forget that i will always be here for all of you. luv u lots, Cait*D

Broghan Bush shebush@carter.k12.ky.us Monday November 3, 2003 at 3:40 PM

Aunt Mary and Uncle Jeff I sorry for you because it must have been hard for you to handle Jason's death. I will always remember the times me and Jason had. Like the time we camped in Mama and Papa's backyard. Jason loved my good hotdogs that I made. Jason and Jeremy didn't know how to build a fire and I showed them how.

Janie Sexton-Voeltz lady_n_white01@hotmail.com Monday November 3, 2003 at 8:04 AM

Heather Berry hmber01@morehead-st.edu Monday November 3, 2003 at 12:57 AM

I don't really know what I can say that hasn't already been said. I have so many memories of Jason. The times when we plotted out to drive Ms. Hartley crazy in middles school, to the times we spent together in college. I loved Jason like a brother. Through out all the years he has made such a impact on my life that will never be forgotten. No matter what happened in my day, Jason could brighten my day just with his smile. His impact will never fade, and the memories I have of him will never be forgotten. God Bless

Erica Lewis erical_15@hotmail.com Saturday November 1, 2003 at 1:58 AM

Jeff, Mary, Britni, and all the family..i'm am so sorry about your loss..i know there is nothing anyone can say to make your pain go away, but just remember all the good times you had with him and those that everyone had with him..he was the sweetest boy i ever met..always smiling..i'll never forget his graduation party, the times he used to call me and just play his guitar for me on the phone and all the times me him and billy shared as little tikes..he was a dear friend of mine, even though after graduation we seemed to have lost touch except when we ran into each other every now and then..but he will be greatly missed and he his still with us in our hearts..again i am so sorry and you all are in my thoughts..i will always remeber Jason..noone could ever forget his smiling face..and sparkling personality..you did a great job with him..just never forget that..~Erica Lewis

Nicole Miller (Nikki) nikki9miller@yahoo.com Friday October 31, 2003 at 6:28 PM

I met Jason at Morehead our freshman year, immediately I knew that he was someone I wanted to be associated with. He was the kind of friend everyone should have had the pleasure of having, and I am so greatful that I was priviledged enough to have had that opportunity. There will never be another person like him, my only regret is that I could not have met him sooner and spent even more time with him. To his parents: you raised a terrific son and he loved you both very much. You created a wonderful person who has touched many lives. God had a bigger plan for him, you will be remembered in everyone's prayers and may the things he accomplished never be forgotten.

Dane Thomas dathom@morehead-st.edu Friday October 31, 2003 at 3:28 PM

I am truly sorry for your lost and my prayers are with you all, keep thr faith and let the Lord see you through this sorrowful time of grivance.

Joanna Boggs-Holbrook joanna_boggs@hotmail.com Friday October 31, 2003 at 12:54 PM

I have known Jason for almost 10 years. I immediately fell in love with his personality and he fit into my group of friends immediately. He never changed... you could always count on him to have something funny to say or something deep to make you think. He was very intelligent, I was almost jealous! We had a music class together a yr or so ago at MSU, and he didn't even bring a notebook... he just remembered everything! He was always very positive and everyone around him just loved him... myself included. Myself, and all of my friends who knew him are very fortunate to have known him. Everyone he ever encountered took something with them to remember Jason by. All I have to say to his parents is that Jason was very loved and one of the best people I have ever known. He never wanted to hurt anyone's feelings, and he had a great attitude about the world around him. His parents did an excellent job raising him. Everyone who ever knew Jason should know that he wouldnt want to be the reason anyone cried. He always wanted his friends and family to be happy. I believe people are allowed to be this earth long enough to serve the purpose God has for us. Jason fulfilled his purpose, and we must not be sad. He is in a better place now. God Bless you all!

Missie Friday October 31, 2003 at 9:42 AM

I remember the first time I met Jason, I really didnt know him at the time, but after spending a year with him in vocational school, it seemed different. He was always very cheerful. He will be missed. I send my prayers with you.

Carlee Windon cwind01@morehead-st.edu Friday October 31, 2003 at 1:27 AM

I remember the first time I met Jason, I didn't know then that we would become friends. He always knew how to cheer me up, and always made me feel special. I don't know anyone who could stay mad at him, I couldn't. He will be missed by many. I send my love and prayers to you.

Holly Osborne hollyjosborne@yahoo.com Thursday October 30, 2003 at 10:11 PM

Jason was the kind of guy who was a friend to everyone. I was one of those who was fortunate enough to spend a great deal of time with him. He always helped me with anything I needed and was always there to listen to me especially this summer during the seperation of my parents. I would give anything to hug him and tell him I loved him one more time. To the Bush family: You all have been such a blessing and encouragement to me during this time. Thank you so much for opening your arms and welcoming Hope and I into your home. I have found so much comfort in your hugs and stories about your dear son who was so loved. I will remember you all in my prayers. And to Jason: I wish I could say this to you in person, but you were a wonderful friend to me. Thanks so much for all the good times and even not so good times we shared and for letting me live with you and Pack when I had nowhere else to go. You were the kind of friend that could make anyone laugh even at the worst of times and I know if you were here now you would be giving us all hugs and helping us to laugh again. I love you and miss you so much. I will never forget you. Love, Holly

Dear Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I only knew Jason for a short time. It was about 5 years ago, he and i both attended Infinite Possibilities Christian Academy. He came to my house just before the Christmas dance we had. We had good times. Such an amazing personality. You all will be in my prayers

Larry Evans Thursday October 30, 2003 at 8:44 PM

I knew Jason from working at McDonalds. Every time Jason walked through the door, he had this huge, and unreplaceable smile on his face. He was a lovable, sweet, funny, and caring person. I know that no one can possibly say anything to ease your hearts at this time, but I would like to say that Jason is definatley missed, and still loved by all friends and family and will never be forgotten. Your entire family is in my prayers. ~Kelli Calvert

I'm not one of many words but, For those who didn't know jason and for those who do know him he was a wonderful friend and great son to Mary and Jeff. No matter what the consequences he always was truthful to any question asked. In everyone that he touched his memory will never fade away.

Bridgett Fannin Thursday October 30, 2003 at 5:16 PM

Brandy Adams bnadam01@morehead-st.edu Thursday October 30, 2003 at 3:05 PM

I had a class with Jason here at Morehead. He was so nice and friendly from the first day I met him. He could always make me smile when I was having a bad day or stressing out right before one of the tests in class. I'm so sorry for your loss. You will all be in my prayers.

To Mary, Jeff and Britni; The year that Jason attended IPCA in Sandy Hook was a good year for all of us. Jason was always cooperative and we had a great time producing our play, The Gathering of The Nations. I will always remember him being a joy to work with. Our prayers and condolences are with you. It is hard to think that he is gone. God knows all things and He is a just God. All of you have been a blessing to me. May the Peace of God that only He can give rest on all of you.

Your wonderful family was one that we met there. My heart just breaks for you and I pray that God will lift you up and keep you strong. My own little boy just turned 1 last week, and I hold him just a little closer. May God lead, guide and direct you. Sincerely, Diana H.

Mary, Jeff, anf Britni I am sorry for the loss of one that was really close to me in this life. Jason was a special and very determined person. I remember back to the days we played in the band together and the time we played in the East Carter Talent Show. Jason will be missed so much by us all. He was a true friend and a great guy. He called me allot of times when I was going through some personal problems and gave me such an uplift and to look ahead. I appreciated being his friend and having someone that special in my life. God Bless all of you and you are certainly in my prayers. Feel free to call me or email me anytime.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bush, I wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. Jason and I attended school together my freshman year at East Carter High School. He was one of my best friends. At the time, my mother had left our family and it was just me and my father living at home. Jason would call me and just make me laugh and feel good about life again. I can only imagine the pain that you feel in your hearts right now, but you raised a wonderful son who lived a wonderful life. Thank you for doing so. If there is anything at all that you need, please email me. You're in my prayers. Sincerely, Missy Lee Wilburn University of Kentucky

Robin Butler rebutl01@morehead-st.edu Thursday October 30, 2003 at 10:21 AM

I talked to Jason a few times, but never knew who he was. I knew him through Veronica, but how I knew him doesn't matter. Whenever I saw him, he always had a smile on his face and was always trying to make people smile, too. My prayers are with all of you.

April Riffe amriff01@morehead-st.edu Thursday October 30, 2003 at 8:00 AM

What I'll always remember about Jason is his smile. He always had a smile on his face and a kind word for everyone he came into contact with. We went to high school together and college together and it always brightened up my day to see him. I have never met such a sweet, caring guy before, ever. He will be greatly missed and my prayers are with you all.

Kristy kdarne01@morehead-st.edu Thursday October 30, 2003 at 1:53 AM

Im am so sorry for your loss. I only knew Jason for a couple of weeks, but i knew of him was that he was a great person and fiend. He always knew how to make a person smile and that was a good quailty about him.

Jaclyn Fife jaclynfife@hotmail.com Thursday October 30, 2003 at 12:22 AM

Jason was always there for me when I was going through the roughest times. When I thought the last thing I could do was smile he would pull one out of me somehow. Jason was a wonderful person with a wonderful family. I love you all! Even though we have lost a great person, Heaven has gained one. We are all blessed to have gotten to see that beautiful smile of his.

Sarah Tackett saraht52@aol.com Wednesday October 29, 2003 at 10:44 PM

I've come across many people while attending morehead state. I never met Jason but I have lost close friends while enrolled. Let his heart be your guide cause his love will never die. We are only apart for a little while. Remember Jesus never leaves us, we sometimes stray but he is alwasys there. God Bless Jason's Family, Prayers will be Prayed for you all.

Jeff, Mary and Britni, we are so sorry to hear about your loss. Jason was always such a cheerful and happy person. He always knew how to brighten a room. I will always cherish the times we had with him in high school, going to his graduation party and listening to him play his music. Charlie will always remember playing little league baseball with Jason. We know their is no words to say that would be of much comfort right now but we want you to know that your family has been in our every prayer. Even though I didn't have the opportunity to see Jason much after graduation I can still remember his laughter and see his smiles. You will be in our thoughts and prayers always. Charlie and Kayla (Dickerson) Simmons

Jeff, Mary and Britni, I am so sorry for your loss. Jason was truly one of my best friends and the closest thing to a brother that I had. From the time we started middle school to the day we graduated, we shared so many memories: birthday parties, playing in the band, Halloween parties, school dances, his graduation party and so many more. I always knew Jason was there if I ever needed anything or anybody to talk to. I remember him calling me last September because I was going through a rough time and telling me to get ready because he was taking me somewhere. Of course, being Jason, he wouldn't tell me where until we got there. That's just how he was...surprises all the time. Anyway, he helped me through one of the roughest times of my life and told me how much I meant to him in the process. He was a great guy and a TRUE friend. There will never be another like him. I love you all and if you need anything, please feel free to e-mail me or call. You are continuously in my thoughts and prayers.
