Jason Thomas McMicken

Jason Thomas McMicken, 39, passed away in the early hours of September 6, 2024, following a brief illness. He left this world as he lived in it; surrounded by people who loved him. A retired Air Force Technical Sergeant with 18 years of service, his life took him around the globe and into the hearts of all who met him. He is remembered as a close friend, a strong personality, a curious mind, and a family man who faced each day determined to give his best. He leaves behind a world of those who loved him, including his fiancée, Jackie Watson; his parents, Cathy and Dick Okenica; his grandfather, Andy Gresko; grandmother, Joyce McMicken; his brothers, Cameron (Angela) and Devin (Maggie) McMicken; his beloved nieces and nephew Sara and Ryan (Cameron and Angela) and Murphy (Devin and Maggie); his dog Ruger; and cats, Figgie and Salem. He also leaves an extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and all who met him, whom he welcomed into his home and life. Each of them carries his laugh, humor, and strong hugs with them. He joins his grandfather, Earl “Mick” McMicken; grandmother, Mary Ann Gresko; and his father, Bob McMicken in the hereafter.
