I knew Jason by working the the emergeny room where he would always bring patients in by ambulance. He was a happy go lucky guy that was passionate about what he did. i am saddened to see him go, but know now that he is looking down over his friends/family and fellow firefighters and will forever protect us. Thank you for all you did Jason, you will not be forgotten. <3

Jay (Well, Jason but I called him Jay or JayJay) was and still is an amazing friend. He was there when I was down and his smile always made me feel better. I remember the first time we met. I believe . was through Jen, my sister. Ever since we were good friends. I remember how we used to talk about our lives and what they would be like when we were old. But now I will never get to see who that lucky woman could have been or see what his kids would turn out like. However, I know he will be at peace. He will make some young girl or boy lucky when he becomes their guardian angel. <3 you Jay.

I remember Jason while he was at Aberdeen High School. He spent some time in my classroom and he was always so positive and happy. He loved to joke around yet he was serious when he needed to be for class. He was a good kid and a hard worker. I enjoyed visiting with Jason and enjoyed his wonderful sense of humor. Please know that he made a difference in this world with his kind heart.

I remember my freshman year of high school when I first met Jason. He was in my weight training class. The thing I remember the most about him was his ambition. He was kind, caring, and driven. I'll never understand why such a precious, and young life was taken. And even though I never stayed in touch with Jason after he graduated, I feel sad knowing he is gone. Im sad for his family, his friends, and everyone else, who's lives he has touched. My thoughts go out to his family and rest in peace Jason Martin.

Story shared: Eating all of my brownies.

I remember the day we first met, Jason came down to Shelton with Tyler and Jess to hang out for the day and I had just made brownies. Later Jess and Tyler wanted to go out to dinner and he decided to stay behind and hang out.. and he ate ALL of my brownies! Even though we had just met, it was so easy talking to him and we were constantly smiling and laughing. We were instantly great friends. He told me about his current girlfriend problems and I laughed at him, and gave him the best advice I could. I drug him all around town making him run errands with me, and he didn't once complain. I was really surprised! He even carried around my son's car seat for me. After that day we kept in touch, and hung out a few more times. He was always hassling me about making more brownies, and I did. Because of him I think I gained 10lbs from eating so many! We sort of lost touch, but he called me last month, out of nowhere, just to talk. Unfortunately I was right in the middle of a Cub Scout ceremony and couldn't talk long. He was so happy, telling me all about his new truck and how he thought John would really like it.. About him being a firefighter. I can't even describe how much I regret hurrying off of the phone and not talking to him longer. Jason was a great guy, so easy to get along with. He had such an infectious smile and laugh, you couldn't help but be happy around him.

With a heavy heart, I want to celebrate the special life of Jason. His wonderful sense of humor. His brilliant smile. His willingness to do what ever he could at the Department. Hearts are broken now. They will heal but never be quite the same. He touched so many lives and he will Never Be Forgotten. My condolences to the family.

I believe this taken Feb 15 2012. Jason is once again showing how he was willing to do anything for the community AND be goofy and have fun at the same time.

I didn't know Jason, but he was my brother. I never worked with him, but we served together. I didn't know what he went through, but I feel his pain. I would be happy to take that pain you felt, and take your place Jason, even though I didn't know you, you were my Brother. Firefighters are a close-knit family. There is a bond like no other. We won't remember that you died, Jason, but that you lived. See you on the other side. Gods Station has a new Probie. Do us all proud up there.

Deepest sympathy to Jason’s family at their terrible loss. 'When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you' Isaiah 43:2

Story shared: The Last Time

Mon, 26 Mar 2012 04:16:12 EDT

The last time I saw Jason was last summer one night after I got off of work. He asked me to come take a walk with him, like we had done many times before. I thought this was going to be a typical day for us, and we would just walk and make small talk about what was new with each of us. We ended up walking and talking for over 4 hours. We talked about his past relationships, his dreams, my dreams, our plans for the future as individuals, and what we wanted from ourselves. Jason was adamant that he was going to continue in firefighting, and that he was becoming stronger through the men he worked with. I asked him how they were doing that for him while he does such a dangerous job. His response was simple, but profound. He said that those men he worked with made him want to be a better fireman, and that he learned everything about it from those he worked with. He put a smile on their faces, and in return, he was learning. They also taught him how to stand up for himself, he said. He's a man because of those brothers. What he said that day stuck with me ever since. Because in my mind, he was already the best man I had ever known. And he still is.
