We say goodbye to Jason Ferrera, who embraced life with a contagious smile and a passion for helping others.

Jason Robert Ferrera, aged 38, of Jacksonville, Florida, was born on September 18, 1987, and left us on June 9, 2026.

Jason lived his life to the fullest every day, viewing each person he met as a friend from that moment on. He was willing to go to the ends of the earth to provide the best for his children, managing to be both strict and their best friend at the same time.

If you ever needed someone to help you find your laughter again amidst life's curveballs, Jason was your go-to guy. He was among the kindest, most hardworking, and fun-loving individuals you could ever meet, with an insatiable desire to learn and help others in any way possible. He had a unique ability to find the bright side of things, even when it seemed there wasn't one. Jason started each day before the sun rose and often ended his day well after it had set.

Jason is survived by his wife of 18 years, Staci Ferrera; his two sons, Aiden Ferrera, 18, and Damien Ferrera, 17; and his two daughters, Rebel-Lynn Ferrera, 13, and Dixie Ferrera, 12. He is also survived by his mother, Virginia Ferrera; his father, Jose Ferrera; his sister, Jennifer Melvin; and his mother-in-law, Theresa Collier.

Jason touched many lives in his brief 38 years and will be deeply missed by many. Those we lose walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always with us.

The family will be holding services privately at a later date and asks for privacy to grieve at this time.
