Jason Meyer R.I.P.

A good friend of mine and my family passed away yesterday. Jason was married to Liz, who has been my sister's best friend since the 8th grade. Jason had a congenitally bad heart and had a surgery five months ago to try and repair it at least temporarily. He suffered many complications along the way and yesterday his exhausted body expired. He fought to the end, but was simply too weakened to carry on. His death is a true loss.
Jason was one of the few genuinely good people in the world. Jason never met a person he didn't like and I don't believe anybody didn't like him. He loved to smoke and drink, loved music and movies and sports, his one time sky-diving and all the silly little things that add spice to one's life. He loved the Rams, psychotically so, and I still believe his favorite picture in the world was one with him and Marshall Faulk, not any of his wedding pictures. My sister was incredibly close to him and she is taking it pretty hard. Anybody who knew the guy, loved him for he had more personality, more verve than any human I had ever met. We'll all miss him, but none more than Liz who stayed with him these last five months and who provided him strength and determination in nearly superhuman doses. She no longer needs to be so strong, but we know she will be anyway. Now Jason is in a better place, his fight is over and he can rest in peace
