Jason Maas, age 29, boldly and cheerfully surrendered his disabled, crippled physical body for a new one that is perfect in every way, to begin a joyful life with our heavenly father in paradise on Sunday April 14, 2013 at Brownwood Regional Medical Center.
A celebration of life for Jason will be held at Rocky Creek Baptist Church at 2:00pm on Friday April 19, 2013 with Rick Justice and Mack McCarthick officiating, a private interment will follow a later date. Visitation will be held Thursday evening from 6-8pm at Blaylock Funeral Home.
Jason was born to Gary Maas and Freida Maas on July 30, 1983 in Brownwood. Even though Jason had to live out his years on earth in a body that wouldn’t work for him, he still maintained an amazingly cheerful attitude. Any time anyone would stop to speak to him, he was always quick with a splendid smile or an exciting laugh. Even though he could not speak, he spoke volumes through his expressions, his magnificent love for God and his great love for people, even if they tried to do him harm. Jason has had to fight for what he has accomplished which makes him the toughest person I know. In his life he has accomplished many things, such as he graduated from high school on the “A” honor roll, he touched the lives of countless people, and most of all has his name written in the lambs book of life. Which means, this day he is with Jesus in paradise. He has fought his way through over 20 major surgeries with a dynamic and unbelievably outstanding attitude. After surgery you could see his determination to get through it with as little help as possible. Then, there was a point during this process when he would give his special smile, and I knew everything was going to be alright, and we would be going home soon. If you ever took the time to really get to know him, you would have a new respect for life. To know Jason is to love Jason. He has filled our lives with joy and respect for God and life; it has been a true joy and pleasure to know him and be a part of his life. We thank God for allowing us to have a child like Jason….We love him very much…he will be sorely missed.
He is survived by his father Gary Maas and Christy; Mother Freida Maas; Brothers Jude, Cole, and Bradly; Grandmothers Gwen Maas and Ruth Davee; Aunts and Uncles Mack and Sharyl McCarthick, Scott and Teresa Maas, Richard and Donna Maas, Bruce and Sandy VonReidel, Sherry Oakley, Craig Davee, and Sandy Davee; and numerous cousins.
Jason is preceded in death by his Grandpas Ted Maas and Freddie Bonetti.
