Even though I hadn't seen Jason for many years, I look back on my memories of him with a smile on my face. Knowing him since he was barely 11 years old, so many street hockey games and good hearted fun with Jason and his big brother Sean. So sad to hear he is gone, but trying to focus on the good memories in this time of sadness. Sincerest condolences to Hugette, Sean, Tara, Kailey, Kyler and the rest of the Oates family and friends. Rest in peace Jason, gone but never forgotten!
