I guess I just don’t see what Covid has to do with any of this. Jason was in torment and a pandemic didn’t cause him to suicide, the illness did. He bravely kept on as long as he could. His family is braver still in dealing with his death.

Those early years, the threads of our intertwined Canvas are precious.

Nathan, your honesty in sharing deeply touches my heart. I trust in faith and prayers, may you all be comforted in this most difficult tine by the one and truly source of comfort.

I offer much love to all your family on behalf of the Blakeney family 🙏🏻❣️

how sweet the Savior’s warm embrace must feel to a boy who spent so much of his mortal life in suffering. may he rest in eternal love.

loss like a storm cloud that never really goes away– sometimes it lightens up a bit, other times, it begins to rain for days and days. it’s completely random. and miserable. and beautiful. and bittersweet.

but you will live on. as the world keeps spinning, as the sun and moon trade spots in the sky, as the birds chirp every morning, as new children are brought into this world and old souls return to our Father in heaven. your life will go on. and so will Jason’s memory.

thank you, jason, for being on this earth when you were. thank you for fighting. thank you for trying. thank you for living. your life was short, but not meaningless. i’ll make damn sure of that. rest in peace, bro.
