Jason Rowcliffe 1984 — 2002 Jason Howard Rowcliffe was born on June 18, 1984. He was a bright eyed, smiling, beautiful baby boy with a head full of hair. So much, that the nurses had to part it and use a regular brush to get through it. Jason and I created a bond while he was growning inside me. I would read to him, talk to him, sing to him and tickle his feet. The bond we shared lasted his entire life. It will last for all eternity. Jason was the nicest, most caring person I have ever known in my entire life. As his mother and best freind, he made me proud. He was always worried about others and their feelings and was always ready to help anyone in need, which he did so lovingly and without giving it a second thought. Jason tought me how to love unconditionally, be non-judgemental and to accept people for who and what they were and tried to teach me patience and happiness. He loved life and lived it to the fullest, touching everyone he came into contact with, both young and old alike. Jason had charm and charisma, which drew people to him. He was loved by everyone and had more friends that I have ever seen in my life. Jason loved to skateboard, loved older model cars, played the guitar, which he taught himself by ear, he loved to lay under the stars and let all of his thoughts on life come out, where he felt at true peace, he loved to cook and was going to attend Johnson & Wales Culnary Institute to become a Master Chef, and he loved to hang out with friends. Jason used to collect match box cars. His favorites were a red lambourgini and a purple camaro. When he was 5 , he told me, Mommy, I'm going to drive this car when I'm big, holding up the camaro. Well, one day on my way to work, which is 2 minutes away from my house, a man had a purple camaro on his lawn for sale I knew this was Jasons car We bought it. He only got to drive it 5 months before he went to God, but I am so grateful that he had it. Jason was my only child, my best friend and my soulmate. The pain is almost too much to bear at times. I can't imagine another day without him, yet weeks pass and I am here. Jason wanted to be an organ donor and as difficult as it was, I honored his wish. Jason saved the lives of many people. One was a 16 year old boy who needed a heart or he would die. The recipient family recieved my Jasons' heart on Christmas and have expressed to me that this was a Christmas Miracle. Others recieved his pancreas, kidneys, liver and eyes. Each recipient, I feel is a part of me because they have a part of my wonderful son, Jason. Because of Jasons' tremendous love of others, many lives continue today. Jasons' legacy will live on for generations. Jason deserves that and so much more. Jason was a one of a kind. I will never forget him, nor will one day go by where I don't miss him and think about him. So, this is my tribute to my son, Jason Howard Rowcliffe whom I love with all my heart and earthly soul. May your memory live forever and may God love you and hold you in arms forever. Until I join you ...... all my love Forever and always. Love, Mom
I will see you again, Jason. Until then, I love you, I love you, I love you, Debra Pies
