"I like to think I'm a pretty unqiue person.
I try to be the best person I can be...
I try my hardest to make others happy at the cost of my own happiness.
But, I'd rather see others happy.
I love photography.
It will always be something I know I'm good at."

This memorial website was created to remember my dearest son, Jason Posluszny who was born on June 26, 1988 and was killed in a car crash on July 25, 2009.
You will live forever in our memories and hearts. Jason was killed by a drunk driver at only 21 years of age. He was an innocent passenger, wearing his seatbelt, watching out over his friend.
He was an awesome son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew and friend. Your smile will forever light my life. It will always be with me, even if only in my memories. A part of all of us died the day you died, but we believe you are always with us in spirit, and are watching over us. Keep us safe, help keep me sane. We miss you so much, and love you even more.
Please take the time to watch. It sends a powerful message about not only drinking and driving,
but more importantly, tells the story of WHO Jas was. <3
Two years... three years... now four years. Where has the time gone? I feel like I slept through most of it and now I'm just waking up. Once again, we celebrated your birthday. You would be 25 years old. I wonder, what would you be doing. We all miss you so much. It's still unbelievable to me at times that you are not here. Some days I almost forget and still expect you to walk through the door. My existance has changed so much.
I love your birthday though. It's one day I can still "do" for you. I can celebrate the day you came into my life, one of my 5 greatest blessings. Then your neice's and nephew's, all 7 of them! My next blessings. There were only 4 when you left us. I hope you have watched the new arrivals. I know you would have spoiled them just like you spoiled the others. I remember we had just moved to Florida when you were born. We had been here a month when you came into our lives. Our life in Florida started with you. I just can't comprehend you not being here, still, after four long years.
Happy 25th birthday Jas!
I love you very, very much.
Your memory still lives on...
October 2, 2012 we lost Grandma I hope you are together. That's the only thing that helps me is believing she is with you. The next best thing to me watching over you, is her. She missed you so much. She hurt for me knowing how much I missed you.
Family gatherings are just not the same anymore. First no you. Now no Grandma. They seem empty, even though in reality we have a very big family, and nothing is ever empty!
Miss you both terribly. I like to think of you sitting in and watching over at those gatherings.
Saber, dear sweet Saber. I have this image of you and Saber, walking together. He was having such a hard time walking, then his back legs were just too weak. Now, he doesn't need a leash because he can run free. He used to pull us so much! Even you with your strength you had a hard time keeping up with him. And me, he just pulled me all over the place!
I miss him so much, and Grandma, and you. Too much. Too much loss, but you my sweet child, I'm sure are ok.
I can't believe it has been a year. I feel like it was just yesterday you were walking out this door for work. How could it be an entire year. How could I have survived an entire year. I guess we all survived because we have been doing things for you.
We honored your memory, your birthday, and this will be another new tradition. We are collecting a lot of new traditions, and they are all very special because they are created for you.
Happy Birthday Jas. Hope you are happy.
Your memory will always live on.
Jason's family would love for his extended family (his friends) to share stories, photos, funny or nice or whatever, doesn't matter. It's a way of remembering him, and a way of us remembering him, though all of you. We would love to share your precious memories with you. This site allows you to do so.
IMPORTANT: I would like us ALL to contribute to his life story. You put a date, and the event, say what you want to say about that part of his life, save. The site will put it all in order. i would truly like his life story to be written by everyone who his life touched.
My goal with this site was to get everything together in one central location with a good notification system of new content, posts, etc. I miss his friends, I miss him, but he can live on every day through our memories. Love you all.
Please light a candle before you go...
This is the video Matt made at the start of Jason's DVD. He did an amazing job! If anyone had not yet received a copy of the dvd, please let us know. We will be happy to send you one.

"I wrote this letter to Jas about 2 weeks after he was killed"
Dear Jason,
Where do I start. I suppose by telling you how much I miss you. How incredibly sad I am I cant see your face, hear that beautiful amazing laugh of yours.
I think about the many nights, me on the computer, you on the xbox, side by side. You had SO much fun and I loved to listen to you play with your friends. How you all would laugh, I would laugh. You entertained everyone. Then when you were being attacked you would scream help me!! Then there was that one creepy game you played, and things would pop out of nowhere, and you would jump and scream, so funny, so cute. Oh man I will forever miss listening to you play. You had the greatest sense of humor which is why so many people loved you.
I wake every morning and the first thing I see is your room. You were always the first thing I saw when I stumbled in the kitchen to make coffee. It always gave me such a sense of security knowing you were safe in your bed. If you were spending the night at a freinds, you always texted to tell me, so I would not wake up and worry, just like you did the night before you were killed. Now I wake, no you, and no text. It all feels so wrong. My life feels wrong.
Everything is the same in your room including your pile of clothes on the magazine rack in the corner. Ash and I each took one of your work shirts which we both wear. She does not want me to touch anything, and I respect that. Your brand new TV that you just got for your birthday and loved so much sits in it's place. Hasn't been
Your tattoo has become ours, your trademark, We cherish it and honor you with our own. I remember the day you got it. You loved it so and i remember thinking it was so cool. We all wear it proudly in your memory.I look at the collages of pictures your brothers and sisters made of your life. We had a good life, didn't we? Despite the craziness sometimes, you had scouts and little league and honor classes in high school. I think we had fun, I tried to give you all everything I could, including all my love. Everyone called you smiley. You were
You grew into an awesome adult with a heart of gold. Always wanting to help others, make them happy. You grew to be trustworthy, and honerable. That honor, wanting to protect Angela, took your life, but in my eyes, you died a hero, protecting a friend. I know there is so much more I want to say, but I'm still numb, and words escape me.
You will always be a hero in my eyes. I love you my baby forever. I hope you can hear me talk to you.You will never be forgotten. Be happy and soar high. The part of me that died with you, stays with you, till we meet once again. Please keep us all with you. You will always be with us.
Mom
