Jason Hawes

Jason Lee Hawes 9/1/78 10/12/10

Jason, our beloved son, brother and friend, was born in Seoul, South Korea and was adopted by his parents when he was three. Jason grew up in St. Louis, Missouri before moving to Mesa, Arizona with his family. Jason is the second oldest of twelve siblings. Jason was a very sweet spirit in this world and affectionately referred to all his friends as Bud. Jason graduated from high school in 1997 where he was beloved by all. He was active in Special Olympics, with his favorite sports being soccer and baseball. Jason earned his Eagle Scout award and served a stake-based mission for the LDS Church. Jason always wanted to serve a full-time mission, and we dont doubt that he is now doing that. Jason passed away due to complications of liver disease.

Jason is survived by his parents Gary Hawes and Sheila Thain Hawes of Farmington, UT; siblings Nathan (Lindsey) NSL, UT, Matthew (Raynie) KC, MO, Justin (Tiffany) Fairfax, VA, Erika Krutsch (Baxter) Saratoga Springs, UT, Rachel Jeppsen (Justin) Kaysville, UT, Amanda, Kaysville, UT, Lindsey, Ceirra, Jordan and Brooklynn, all of Farmington, UT; grandparents Melvin and Mardean Thain. Jason has six nieces and nephews that he loved dearly, Kiah, Boston, Paisley, Ethan, Gabe and Ava. Jason was preceded in death by his grandparents, Harold and Audrey Hawes and his sister Erin.

Jason loved animals and most recently volunteered his time and service at an animal shelter. Above all, Jason was an example to all that knew him. He possessed Christ-like attributes we aspire to have.
