JASON LOEWEN-ROSS October 21, 1974 - July 7, 2016 Jason collapsed with a massive heart attack on the squash court he loved around 8:00 p.m. on July 6, 2016, and died in the early hours of July 7, 2016 at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver. Jason will be profoundly missed and dearly remembered by his wife of nine years, Amanda (Loewen-Ross) and his six year old son Robbie; parents, Waldy and Gloria Loewen and sister Tanya (Al); Amanda's parents, Rupert and Val Ross and brothers, Evan (Leah and son Lochlan) and Tom. Jason was loved by so many extended family members and friends. His immediate family is very grateful for the words already shared in memory of Jason at a Buddhist Sukhavati ceremony at the Vancouver Shambhala Centre and at the Highlands United Church, Vancouver. There will be an informal Celebration of Life in Kenora on Saturday, July 30, 2016 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. in the lower hall at Knox United Church (corner of 2nd St. S. and 5th Ave. S.). Around 3:00 p.m. there will be a short program.
