I've just hear about Jason, or as I called him, Mr. Morris. We worked at Foothills for 2 decades, and together on a few occasions. Jason was an authentic person, trusted for an honest opinion and counted on by us all. I would see or talk with him over the years and am just floored by this. Rest in peace Mr. Morris and prayers for faith, peace and strength for your friends and family.
You will be missed, I remember you as a young kid when I was around your older brothers . You were so sweet . Then I had the pleasure of working with you at Foothills Correctional. You were a good man and a friend. Rest in Peace
