John A. Roberts Post
Deepest sorrow for loosing Jason, my co-worker here at the County. He was such a neat young man who loved his wife and his family. Solid values, work ethic, getting started in making life together with Bailey in Arizona. Oh Lord Jesus .... one thing I'm confident of ... one day we shall meet again in heaven with those who have proceeded us. Jason, miss you already in this place. You added much to life.
Two guys here in the shop, Russell Hobbs & Richard Cross, made a special memorial that was placed in your parking spot. It’s our way of remembering your good humor.

Blog post from Von Brown
This poem was written by my Aunt Sylvia the day of Jason’s accident as she sat in her husband’s hospital room, his life hanging precariously by a thread. While her husband survived yet another trial, she felt that perhaps the words that came to her that night might also comfort those of us who lost our dear Jason.
As I Rest
By Sylvia Brown Bourne (Jason’s great aunt)
When heavy questions press my mind
About the fabric and design
Of life the Lord would have me lead
A quiet rest is what I need
A prayer of gratitude I send
A sudden peace of soul attend
His loving promises are sure
He’ll help us - we are the threads secure
For clearly – wisely, He does view
The cloths of Heaven’s plans so true
E’en though one thread each day we weave
T’will fall in place - - if we believe
Yes! Sure we know hi s hand will guide,
The shuttle’s movements side to side –
As fully we submit our will to his
Life’s purposes we’ll fill
The bright – the dim threads and the gold
From birth – through youth and tho’ we’re old
His knowing hand will guide the way
The threads may break, the threads may frey
So tho’ the view’s unclear to me
I close my eyes - - in prayer – then see,
that heaven’s light shines ‘round the loom
Doubt – anger – fear – have left the room?
Yes one day!
One thread is all that’s given
“Hold Fast” says He – and surely Heaven
Will attend your weaving task, . . . .
If you sincerely – humbly ask!
So when heart sinks – with furrowed frown
And weavings’ burden I’d lay down –
I grasp his loving hand in prayer
And push the shuttle through my care
Somehow – some way – the day then ends –
I tie the thread.
His Peace descends
Oh yes! Tomorrow’s’ thread awaits
The colors dim – or bright the tints –
It matters not –
For faith attends my weaving
God knows best the threads

Jasons Obituary from the Daily Herald
Jason Archibald Brown
Archibald Brown
1984 ~ 2010
3210LIFT-OFF!
On March 2nd, 2010 Jason Archibald Brown had his lift-off and began a new adventure.
Jason was born September 28th, 1984 to MaryLee and Daniel Von Brown in Wheat Ridge, Colorado and is the younger brother of Scotty and Mike. Jason's love for life is contagious to all around him. His passion for carpentry, welding and creating beautiful things with his hands is unmatched and easily seen by everyone. Jason's natural gift of making everyone feel special and motivating them in a gentle and positive way, makes everyone want to be around him. He has always been the life of the party and so much fun to be around.
Jason married the love of his life, Bailey Paige Jones, on July 25th, 2009.
They moved to Phoenix where Jason has been working for the past 4 years as a Telecom Technician for Wireless Systems. He can fix, rig and build anything for anyone and it's always so fun to watch him work. He is notorious for putting his whole heart into everything.
Along with his work, Jason loves to go on walks, play Nintendo, go bowling with his "SpongeBob Bikini Bottom" bowling league buddies, go camping and shooting, listening to music with his kick-butt' stereo subwoofer, snuggling with Bailey, and riding with Bailey on his bike. He loves learning new things, loves a challenge and, of course, loves to watch SpongeBob.
Jason, you're the absolute BEST and we love you more than anything. Thanks for always putting me first.
No More Migraines, Babydoll!
Services will be held Tuesday, March 9th at 1:00 pm at the LDS Lakeridge Chapel, 665 South 200 West in Orem, Utah. Visitation at 11:30 am. Interment will be in the Provo Eastlawn Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.olpinmortuary.com
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Jason Brown Memorial Fund, care of Wells Fargo Bank for headache research by the Department of Neurology at the Mayo Clinic.

and...
Damn Jason, I just can't believe you are not here with us. You were one of my ducklings sweetie. I always thought of you as one of my own. How amazingly talented you were. How much fun were you and God how much do I love you. I know I was only your substitute mom but I always felt like I was your mom. You went through so many hard times and I always knew you would get through them
This world will be a much sadder place without you and my heart is broken. A rebel without a cause... both you and Uncle Steve. Damn Jason why did you have to leave us? Will always miss you sweetie you were amazing!
Love,
Mom too

"I was telling a drunken story about you and told everyone I loved you, then I told my friend I'd rather marry you than him and he almost cried."
Jason:
"Well S*$%!!!! Let's go to San Francisco and get hitched. I'll let you be the man for a few minutes."

From Gene Doane
I worked with Jason in Arizona for three years, and our crew is highly specialized in public safety communications and a tightly knit team which Jason was very much a part of.
We not only work together, we play together. I was on Jason’s bowling team, “The Bikini Bottoms” (Spongebob Squarepants was Jason’s favorite cartoon) and we’d had a very winning night the Monday before the terrible accident. We swept the three games, and won every one of them. Jason was both a great teammate and a very good friend.
I went to the Super Bowl party he threw last month and it was hilarious for a few reasons. We’d had an office “Fantasy Football” pool and Jason WON IT. Hands down won it, and Jason doesn’t follow football. He only made three trades over the whole season and won the pool hands down. Then, we didn’t even watch the Super Bowl, we were laughing too hard playing Super Mario Bros. Wii four-player with him and his wife Bailey and they’re actually GOOD at it. But then Jason was the kind of guy who put his mind to something and he’d always be good at it.
The portrait attached is a plaque one of Jason’s coworkers crafted, the artists name is Albert Daigre and the signatures and messages are all from people here who worked with Jason and loved Jason. Having had Jason on my team, both at work and at play was a pleasure. His confidence, his ability, and his imaginative craftsmanship were a fantastic addition to our team, and now a horrible loss as well.
Jason’s quirky humor, quick wit, imagination and easy smile will be sorely missed. He was the kind of guy who made friends everywhere he went.
From Dane Hirst
Jason and I became close friends near the end of high school. Jason, Joe Hall, and I spent most of our time with each other. Those were some of the best times of my life. Jason always made sure that we had something fun to do whether it was going “rolling” at Rock Canyon Park (he perfected a technique for somersaulting down steep grass hills), going hot-tubbing at Parkway Crossing in Betty Boop thongs, or cruising around town on my scooter in nothing but girls board shorts, trucker hats, and smiles. Some of my very favorite memories are with Jason and Joe.
I will forever owe Jason Brown for introducing me to my wife. He had no intention of us getting married, he just thought I needed to “get sum” but I fell for her eventually anyway.
I lost touch with Jason over the last few years which makes me very sad. I wish that I had been able to share in the happy moments of his life and share mine with him, but I will carry all the wonderful memories I have with me for the rest of my life. My heart goes out to his wonderful wife Bailey and the rest of his family. Jason Brown will be sorely missed but never forgotten.

RIP Sweetie, We will see you again.

"The Good Old Days" from Laci Mouritsen
Feels like forever ago is what we now call "the good old days." Our biggest concerns were what boys liked us and if we had the newest Dr. Martens or Lucky Jeans. We were still learning how to copy a CD to give to a friend and it would take at least a half hour on our newly purchased, totally awesome computers.
I miss the days when our cares were small and our futures were far away. Death was not something we considered other than in the "old" people. We were still young. The phrase/song, "I Wish That I Knew What I Know Now!" tells us of the time we can never get back and the way we wish we knew of the things our grown up lives have put in front of us.
Maybe on 8th grade yearbook day I would have taken more pictures of all the friends together. Maybe I wouldn't have covered my face in so many of my pictures. Who knows, maybe I would have turned my head and kissed Jason back! (Right there in Mr. Tuft's room!)
Life is beautiful and too short.
Thanks Jason for always being such a true friend to EVERYONE!
Jason was the most kind hearted person I knew. He befriended you no matter what anyone else thought.
RIP, Buddy!

I love this song, it has always touched me. I dedicate it to Jason Brown and his family. Moroni 7:41 And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise.

Remembering Jason Brown, 9/28/1984 to 3/2/2010
Jason Brown was hit and killed by a van on his way to work today. I met Jason my senior year at Mountain View High School in Orem. He became my best friend. He was there for me through good times and bad, he stood up for me when hard things happened. He could always make me smile or laugh and made me happy whenever I was around him. He was one of the best people I've ever known. He was was truly an amazing guy and he will always have a special place in my heart.
I love you Jason, I miss you, I know you're in a better place. You will never be forgotten.
