Condolences
The family of Jason Arlend Vold has received the following condolences.
Jason and I spent a lot of time together when we were kids. We had lots of laughs and lots of fun. I remember spending almost every holiday together in Kenyon. In the summers we would put up a tent in Grandma Vold's backyard and have a monopoly game going for at least two days. I don't think we ever finished it. When we were teenagers I would always ask him to teach me all of his cool break dancing moves. Jason had so many talents. All my girlfriends in high school had a crush on my cute cousin from Rochester. I also remember putting talent shows together in the living room at Aunt Ann's and Uncle Dwight's house. Jason also taught me how to burp and say crazy things while doing it. I will treasure those times we had together.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you today.
I am truly sorry for your loss, worked with Jason a lot of years, he will be missed by many.
RIP KAZ!
Jay
It is sad news to hear when 2016 has added another very special and talented person to the llost.my thoughts are with all that shared time with Jason.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all, Jason was a great friend and will be dearly missed.

Dwight, Ann, Jeremy, Aaron and Kirstyn--our deepest condolences to your family upon hearing of the untimely passing of Jason. We were deeply shocked and saddened to hear this, and want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. My fondest memories of my time spent in Minnesota were with Jason and the entire family. Jason was a great little boy and fine man. I remember Jason as a toddler when we were based at Ft. Sill, and as a growing youngster on Woodcrest Lane. So thankful to have spent those days with him and the family. I share tears with you today, but know he rests in God's arms for eternity. Love, Rick and Anne
My condolences to all of you for your loss. Rest in Peace, Jason, for you always had kind words to say to me.

So sorry to hear about Jason. Our thoughts are with you all during this very difficult time.
Anne, Dwight, Jeremy, Aaron, Kirstyn...My heart is breaking. I can't stop thinking of you all and the memories flooding in of Jason and our growing up together...Angi and I shared tears and then later some smiles and laughs of recounting tales of breakdancing, rubix cube contests, general hyjinx and grandma pearl's way of saying "Oh Jason" when he was clowning around. that was the core of Jason...humor and his gift of artistic talent. That's what we will remember. I know you will miss his presence beyond words. Until we see each other I am sending you hugs and prayers. Rest in peace dear cuz... ? Love you, traci
