1989 - 2004
 AGE: 14 years old
WAGNER, Jason Paul
Paw Paw
Much loved son, brother, grandson, and nephew passed away suddenly June 22, 2004 of cardiomyopathy at Lakeview Hospital, Paw Paw. Jason was excited about starting drivers' training this summer and being a Freshmen at Paw Paw High School this coming fall. Jason enjoyed family get-togethers, swimming, bow hunting with his Uncle David, biking, golf, and shooting hoops. Jason was born October 27, 1989 to Martha (VanZoeren) and Keith Wagner. He is survived by his mother, Martha, his sister, Heather, both at home, his father, Keith of Florida, his grandmothers, Joyce VanZoeren of Paw Paw, and Norma Wagner of Florida, aunts and uncles, Sue (VanZoeren) and Ron Fuller, and David and Lori (Sanborn) VanZoeren of Paw Paw, and Pat VanZoeren of Lawton, Theresa and Kelly Gillihan, and Mark and Heather Wagner of Indiana, and cousins Jacob and Zack. He will be greatly missed. Jason was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Paul VanZoeren and Bob Wagner. Jason and Grandpa VanZoeren would call each other their "best buddies", and now they have been reunited. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Martha Wagner. Cremation has taken place. Family will receive friends Thursday 5-7 p.m. at the Adams Funeral Home, Paw Paw where services will be held Friday at 11 AM. |

I can't believe it has been so long. You are on my mind every day. I wanted you there for my wedding and I want you here even more now so you could meet your nephew. He's not here yet but I know you would love him already. I get so happy every time he kicks but then it reminds me of what you are missing. I will make sure that Parker knows about you I just wish he could know you personally. I love you and miss you every day. Please watch over him.

Hey, hello, you two girls...I am sending this note to remind you both I am here for you, if and when you need me, Jason was a wonderful young guy, a gentle creature, that has left an emptiness in so many folks hearts,that I believe even he would have been surprised...:-)
what a sad thing that we have to lose someone before we make the effort to say, "you were important in my life, you were a thread of memories, good times, sad times, that are the strength holding my life together"...well, anyway, I am sorry Jason has left the empty spot in your lives, however, I believe that he is sending daily, his Love, tied with comfort and strength, sunshine to warm the both of you and to fill that spot ..Heather, you are right, if we really knew how short our time was going to be, nope....we are who God wants us to be, imperfect and Loved inspite of those imperfections....to teach us to help others because of it. Anyway, you now have my e-mail address, I'll expect to hear from one or both of you...Martha, Heather, I am holding you both up in Prayer daily...Love Ya' lala

Martha,
Looking at Jason's picture, I can immediately see you! What a beautiful young man.....
It's been years since we've seen each other. You and your family make up the fabric of my childhood. Better nieghbors I can not imagine. I'm grateful our folks kept in touch over the years. My folks speak often and so fondly of your mom and dad.
The loss of your precious son is a parent's worst nightmare. We too have a son and daughter and they are the center of our lives. I want you to know that you and Heather and your family are close in my prayers daily. In these early days I'm praying for simple things -- that you are able to sleep -- that hour by hour you can live through each day. That God shows you unmistakeably that He continues to love and provide for you.

Jason,
i'm so glad i was able to spend your last few minutes with you. i'm sitting here in awe wondering how this could have happened to such a strong and lively young man as you. we all knew that your heart could give out at any moment and we were too worried living in a fantasy world and we were never even worried that something like this would ever happen. you were the best little brother i could have ever asked for. i pray for you every night and i hope that you are having fun up there with grandpa because i know how much you really missed him and i miss both of you now. i can't wait to see you again but i know that now is not my time. but until then. please keep watch over me and mom. give us a sign that you are here with us because mom is so torn up and i don't know how to help her. for the last five nights we have been sleeping in the same room because i'm so used to hearing you breath at night that i can't sleep in a room alone. i know i asked to have my own room but i didn't want it this way. all of the things i have gained from your death, i would give back ten times over if i could have you back. mom and i are going to do a scrapbook just for you. you know, for a kid who said that he didn't have many baby pictures, you have a ton. the funeral home only gave us two picture boards and we ended up using a total of five. we even had about twenty to thirty framed pictures. oh by-the-way, Karly wrote you a note and showed mom and me a side of you we had no idea about. well, i just wanted to let you know that i'm sooooo sorry that i was so rude to you and i know it may be because we were brother and sister but i still could have treated you a little better instead of treating you like a nobody. i love you sooooo much and i am going to miss you emensly. i love you Boo.

Martha, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I wish I had had the opportunity to know Jason. It has been a very long time since I've seen you, and it's sad that sometimes it takes a loss to bring people together. I know my parents were glad they could go to the visitation and see everyone. If I lived closer (I'm in NH) I would have come too. My love to the whole VanZoeren family, Carolyn
