Jason Richardson Obituary

I´ve had to take a while to even process my thoughts and feelings since my brother died. I just couldn´t come up with words that conveyed what he meant to me and how proud I am of him. I still can´t. I just want to say that his was a life well lived. Everything he did, he did with purpose and intent. He raised a son who he cherished, and who cherished him. He touched people´s lives in ways that he didn´t know, including mine. I´m thankful for him. If I could say something to him right now, I would say "Jason, I´ve always loved you so much. I just wish I would have expressed that more often to you. I wish I would have spent more time with you. I´ve been proud to call you my brother."
I love you always.

God bless and comfort all of you. Betty and Tony Robinette.

I moved back to Cleveland after over 20 years of being away. When I started going to the skatepark, I didn´t know anyone, so I kept to myself - It´s strange to make new friends when you are 40.
Jason immediately struck up a conversation with me and we began hanging out and skateboarding several times a week almost immediately.
I owe all of my new friends in Cleveland to Jason. His kindness and character are rare and I never took it for granted. Although I may have been one of the newest people he met, the impact he left on me will last forever. My condolences to his family and long time friends. We were all lucky to have him in our lives.

I was Jason's teacher at Huron High School. He had an infectious smile, great sense of humor, & loved Skateboarding! He will be truly missed by anyone who knew him. Sending Thoughts & prayers to his family & friends in this time of grief.

Jaws,

I will never smell that sour/sweet aroma of vintage comic book paper again, or watch the greatest sci-fi trilogy ever put to film, without being reminded of you. Thanks for your friendship. Rest now.

I worked next to Jason for years. He always cheered me up through my hardest times and made everything seem manageable. He always took me back to younger nostalgic times. I'm going to miss him a lot.

Rest easy buddy. You were definitely one of a kind and just an awesome human being. Love you my friend.

It´s never fun to say goodbye... but when it´s to someone that touched so many lives in a positive way it sits just a little heavier. Jason... thank you for the laughs, thank you for all the stories but most of all thank you for watching out for Carl and for being his bromance for the last 25 years. I´m not sure if he´s ever going to pick up his board again without his p.i.c. And I know it´s never going to be the same BUT I do know you are forever our Tribe so keep that skate spot up there waxed for when we see you next, Carl will have his board and I my camera and I promise I´ll put the film in correctly this time so it can be developed Much Love to you always and to everyone that is missing you.

My deepest condolences. I know you´ll be deeply missed by many. You not flashing the peace sign here at work will be different for so many. RIP Jason. Keep on skating in that sky.

Jason you were one of a kind. Just an awesome fella. We were HE-Bros. We both loved Masters of the Universe Lol. I love you man. Fly high.

I was Jason's neighbor, and moved in when he was in his teens. His mom, Orpha, and his aunt Rose, babysat all 3 of my kids. I watched Jason grow up skake boarding daily in front of the house (and taking some pretty good falls!), and later skake boarding with his son Colin who he had a special bond with. He grew into a pleasant young man, and I recently was able to catch up with him at his mom's funeral. To say this news was a shock, is an understatement! My heart goes out to Colin, Monique, and his whole family. Fly high Jason!

My deepest sympathy to Jason's loved ones. Jason was a kind and polite young man. He will be missed.

Love you Jaws.

We are so sorry to hear about Jaws passing.
He and my son grew up with Godzilla, playing every day. He was a great kid.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family. He will be missed.
Skate on, Jaws.

This guy was genuinely passionate about his love for skating and was so awesome just to be around. I only knew him for a short amount of time. Jason and my brother skated in our garage this winter. He was always positive and awesome to talk to about old school video games. I am so glade I met Jason. God is getting a good one. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Shred in peace, Jaws.

What a great guy. I haven´t been in touch with him in years but I will always cherish my memories of skating with him and hanging out in our younger years. I was even the DJ at his wedding! Keep shredding up there, Jaws!

I didn't know you long, but what I do know of you will leave a lasting impression on me forever. Rest in Peace my Friend!

I always say they named too many of us Jason in the 70s, but he was one of the best ones! The nicest, sweetest, funniest, and the most fun guy He will be missed by so many.

You were one of the greatest friends I will ever have. You were such a great person. My thoughts and prayers to Colin and the family.

Shred in heaven brother , we´ll shred together someday again . You´ll be missed by lots

Jaws!!!! You was such a inspiration and a great person all around. I´ll be missing ya brother

I loved this guy he showed me so much he was beautiful soul and amazing friend I'll miss you bro fly high in heaven

Cleveland, Ohio February 23rd, 2015. Icy, below zero and I was driving the Charger to vend Wizard World. When I begged him to drive this car into the convention center so I could load up and head home, with a twinkle in his eye "you got it buddy." He was excited and I was terrified. One of the best birthday weekends to date. He was good people and I am lucky I could call him friend.

One of the greatest dudes to ever walk the earth

Words can't express what a profound individual he was. It was truly an honor to call him friend.

Jaws was a hero of mine when I was a young kid. Not only was he a genius skater, he was a really nice and genuine guy.
