Webmaster's
note: This website celebrates
the life and
career of Jason Raize. However, it is impossible
to ignore that this talented,
compassionate young man ended his
own
life at age 29. I will not share all
available articles
about his death, as my
motivation for relaunching this site
in 2010 was to provide an
alternative to the majority of
information about Jason online which
concentrates on his suicide. Instead, I am posting
select articles and materials which
had particular resonance for me,
including one that I wrote while
trying to process his death myself.
