The funeral for the North Hall High School (NHHS) teacher and coach who was killed during a school prank at his home Friday night will be held at 11:00 Saturday at Family Church on Thompson Bridge Road.
“Because of Jason’s widespread influence on so many, we anticipate many people will want to attend his memorial service at Family Church,” the announcement of the arrangements says in an email from Little-Davenport Funeral Home. “To accommodate everyone, a gathering space will be available on the field at Family Church where the service will be live-streamed. We are asking students/community attendees…to park at North Hall High School where shuttling will take attendees to Family Church. Specific details regarding shuttle times and parking lots to come.
We respectfully ask that the Family Church building be reserved for individuals who knew Jason closely and were directly impacted by his life, work, and ministry—his family, North Hall faculty, football players, Family Church members, NG3 Leaders, and close friends.”
Meanwhile, a GoFundMe account set up for his wife and children had, as of mid-afternoon Wednesday, raised $489,220.
