Jason Wladessa

Jason had lived an amazing life. Jason was a great friend; he was the kind of friend that stood by you when you needed somebody to be there. No matter the time or place.

What is it that we remember when we think of Jason? I think everyone who knows him very well would agree with me on this. It had to be his infectious laugh and slightly off beat sense of humor. Jason was always having a good time and whether or not you “got it” that laugh of his would just draw you in and you’d be laughing right along side him. He did and said some things that just had you laughing so hard you’d end up crying. He could always cheer you up and make you crack a smile when the day just didn’t go your way. He wanted nothing but to make the people around him happy.

Jasons death was so sudden. I remember that night and when I was told.. Simply…I could not believe what was just told to me. Less then a few hours ago that evening we were taking a boat ride and eating hotdogs in the middle of Manhattan. Jason was young but over the past couple of days it has slowly started to occur to me that Jason lived his life wonderfully. He was well-loved and he had done so much for so many on earth I’m sure he’ll do much more where he is now. I will forever be grateful to have known Jason. I will forever be grateful that Jason was there at all the right moments to help me through numerous tough times in my life. I will forever be grateful for spending 10 years of my life with a friend like him. All the memories I have shared with him will forever be cherished and remembered. Jason will forever live in our hearts.

Jason is in a better place now and we are here. This is not the time for us to grieve his death but it’s our time to celebrate his life. Don’t ever forget Jason. He never wanted to see people cry. He wanted to make everyone happy. So not only in these moments but forever, let’s all always think back and remember how Jason touched our lives. How he made us laugh and how great of a person Jason was. This is not the moment for us to shed our tears but we should all be thankful that we were given the chance to have known a man as kind and so giving of himself for others.

He will forever be missed but I know in the right time, I will meet him again. We will all meet him again and he’ll make us laugh in tears again.

Nrgetik: A man, A Friend, A legend

As most people who come to this site know, Our dear friend, brother, and confidant Jay "Nrgetik" Wladessa has passed from this world to points beyond the scope of our imagination.

I see the love pouring into the shout box, and I know in my heart that Jay, wherever he may be and in whatever form it may be; is smiling.

There was and still is no other person like Jay, and I doubt there ever will be. The gentle giant with a heart of gold. A real man you could count on. A real man who was man enough to know when to ask for help. Never burdened by pride or hubris. A musician; a comedian (in his own, slightly twisted way ;); a top notch web technician; and most of all, a true friend.

While Jay may be gone now, we must remember what he has left behind. He has left behind nothing but good, and there are few people on earth who that can truly be said about.

There aren't enough words to describe who he was and how much he will be missed, so without further ado, here are some photos to remember him by:
