Jason was born February 20, 1973, in Houston to Jerry Fox and Diana Gail (McIntyre) Fox and he currently lived in Thornton.   He was a devout father, husband, uncle, son and brother.  His passions included spending time with his family and children.  He enjoyed cooking out, playing washers, telling jokes and ultimately laughing.

Jason was a mechanic for most of his life.  He worked for Limestone Co. Road and Bridge Department, where he retired early.  He went into the oil field industry briefly and he then became a self-employed contractor to be with his family full time.

Jason was the full time caretaker of the family business, Grassmasters.  He spent his days maintaining cemeteries and running the family  business.  He was the caretaker of his father-in-law and the grit of his family.   Jason impacted many children and youth and loved to volunteer his time to others.  Jason never missed a chance to raise animals and lend a hand.  His favorite time was with family, laughing and listening to his favorite music.
