Jason (Jay) David Howell

April 25, 1974 - April 15, 2020

Jason was born and raised in Union Park, Florida and graduated from University High School in 1992. He continued his education at Valencia Community College and then traveled the country while working for InProduction (formerly SGA) for over 20 years.  He loved the ocean, surfing, collecting and shooting guns, and fishing. He was also quite the chef! Jason had a razor sharp sense of humor that would often make you laugh until you cried and a nickname for everyone.  He was always the funniest, most sarcastic guy in the room, and wanted to make sure everyone was having fun in a way that only he could do. He has left an irreplaceable legacy behind full of love, laughter, and cherished memories, for his friends and family.

Jason was preceded in death by his wife of ten years, Tracy; he is survived by his lifelong friend and girlfriend Debbie Nettles Mosblech; parents, Norman and Barbara Howell; sisters Christey Oberbeck and Lisa Marie Provo; nephews Matthew, Jacob and Riley; Aunts Mary Frances Hillard Danforth, Cathy Hillard, and Lorene Zimbelman and numerous cousins.

No service will be held at this time because of the national quarantine.  A celebration of life will be held at the beach when restrictions are lifted.
