“We are all still in shock and haven’t even begun to come to terms with his loss.

“We already know he will leave a massive void in so many lives that can simply never be filled.

“Jason loved his music, especially punk and alternative bands, and classed himself as an environmentalist.

“He was passionate about recycling, saving the planet and animal rights.

“He was such a kind person who cared full time for his partner but also gave so much to the local community.

“We are so grateful to all the emergency services who tried to help him at the scene and anyone else who stopped to assist.

“It brings us comfort knowing that he wasn’t alone”.
