It is with broken hearts, Jason’s family announces his sudden passing.
Jason spent most of his life in Duncan and Quesnel.
He graduated from Cowichan Senior Secondary in 1984, then pursued a degree in Business Administration/Management from Camosun College.
Jason loved travelling the world, fast cars, motorcycles, was an avid hiker and always up for adventure. His family and friends were very important to him.
Jason was a son, brother, uncle, great uncle, nephew and cousin. In addition, Jason held a strong passion for animals of any/all kinds. His special passion was for the birds at the sanctuary where he volunteered, while growing up in Duncan. Jason played hockey while there, he was the goaltender and played lacrosse as well.
Jason had a very large family, adoptive mother and father, Patricia (Peter) Henry and Spencer (Greta) Simmons, biological parents, mother, Janice Cleland (John) and family, father, Ted Arbour, (Sharon) and family. Tracee (Rene) Desmarais his sister and family, played a large role in his life.
Jason literally had friends all over the world, but his best friend Gavin Cross stood out as their relationship started at about 5 or 6 years old and continued to the end.
With love in our hearts, Jason’s family and friends would like to thank the staff of the Quesnel and Prince George Hospitals for all they did for Jason.
He may be gone, but will never be forgotten.
