I always thought that I would give the speech at Jason’s wedding so here it goes.

Jason was the brother that I never had. We were inseparable for many years. His grandmother started to think something was going on between us. Jason was always there for me. When I graduated from Basic Training in Missouri, he flew up with my parents and that meant so much to me. He was the best man at Lisa and my wedding and during his speech, he started to cry. That was the first time I saw him cry tears of joy, I knew that he was really happy for me. That was also the first time he was nervous to talk in front of anyone.

He always knew how to cheer you up if you were having a bad day. Many people did not understand Jason but I did, that is why we were friends for so long. We were always there for each other and I will think about him every day for the rest of my life. Now that Lisa and I are about to have our first child, a son. I miss him even more. We are going to name him Ronan Jay Kremer. The past 10 months have been very hard, I would speak to Jason several times a day and I really miss that.

I always heard that if you have one really good friend in your lifetime then you are a very lucky person, well Jason was mine and I feel very lucky for the time we had together.
