Jason Louis Garden

January 6,1980 – January 21, 2025

Jason Louis Garden was born on Sunday January 6, 1980, at Akron City Hospital to Louis and Debra Garden. At the age of 45 after a brief and courageous battle with cancer, his final heartbeat came to pass in the same hospital on January 21, 2025, at 3:22 PM. Jason left this earthly world surrounded by his family and friends knowing he was deeply loved and would forever live in our hearts.

Jason graduated from Copley High School, he continued his education by earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Media Communications from the University of Akron and continued with graduate education at Kent State University. He worked for several corporations including Sams Club, Enterprise Cars, AT&T and Sprint prior to becoming an Intervention Specialist for Copley Fairlawn Schools. Jason decided to follow his entrepreneurial dream by launching his own photography business specializing in weddings and building websites. He was a dedicated businessman who during the battle fought to complete open projects for his clients until the illness no longer allowed.

Jason was a soft spoken, gentle and compassionate man who spread love and positivity everywhere he went. He adored his children and loved spending time with them. During his last days in the hospital, he continued to express his fatherly love asking them “are you OK”, “are you cold ” and telling his parents to “go home, get some rest, get some dinner”.

Jason was saved and baptized IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST. He is proceeded in death by grandparents JB and Lucy Garden, Kaiser and Nannie Gary and several aunts and uncles.
