Jason Lawrence Vanak was born in Brooks, Alberta on March 19, 1988 and passed away suddenly on November 5, 2015 at his home in Wembley, Alberta. Jason and his best friend and son Mason, and his two beloved dogs Diesel and Kalie spent many hours enjoying each other’s company. If they weren’t out tinkering in the garage, side-by-siding or going to events like monster trucks, you could find the two of them snuggled up on the couch together watching a show. Jason’s big smile, witty sense of humour, willingness to lend a hand, fun loving attitude, and soft caring personality, will be sadly missed. He was always quick to give a hug and often would stand or sit beside you and rest his arm over your shoulder. Jason would often end his phone calls with I Love You. The love Jason had for his family goes beyond what words can say. He will be so very sadly missed by Mason and his mom Kassia, his dad Terry, big brother Ryan and Samantha and their children, as well as his extended family and friends.
Jason was predeceased by his loving mom, Sharlene Vanak, his Grandpa Lawrence Johnston and Grandma Grace Johnston. The joy and legacy of this exceptional young man will be enjoyed through the smiles and happiness Mason will bring to this family. A celebration of Jason’s life will be held at the Holy Cross Lutheran Church 20 Banister Gate in Okotoks, Alberta on Wednesday, November 11, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. officiating by Pastor Henry Poitras, a friend of the family. Donations in Jason’s memory can be made to Bethel Church, Calgary (Families in Need) c/o Rev. Henry Poitras, 109 Evansbrooke Way NW Calgary, AB. T3P 1C8.
