Jason had a philosophy that blood wasn't the deciding factor in what family was.

Carmela Silverwood (Ronald), grandparents to many. Granny Harlowe and family. All of whom loved "Daddy J" without measure. For those of you who knew Jason, knew that he was full of life, humor and possessed an incredible ability to put a smile on the face to anyone that needed it. He was a passionate man with many, many talents. He truly was a Master of all Trades. If it was rebuilding an engine of a car; creating exquisite, gourmet meals nightly or creating a beautiful garden with his bare hands, he truly could do it all. But his true passion, were children. Jason was a dedicated foster parent to special needs children, serving both Butte County and Nevada County and loved what he did. He took pride in his new found role; engaging parents and striving to reunify families is what really made his heart smile. That was Jason! "You were the Yin to my Yang, the butter to my bread. I will forever remember our nights watching "gags" on YouTube into the wee hours of the night. Snuggling together before bed; and giving you a kiss in the morning before I left for the day. But most of all, telling each other, "I love you!" every day. That, my sweet will never end. And as I've said before, from the words of your favorite musical artist, “You'll Always Be My Baby!" I love you now and forever!" Your Husband, Todd In lieu of flowers, the Jason Stockton-Minderler GoFundMe Memorial Campaign has been established to assist the family during this time of loss.
