RIP Jason

My friend and fellow Bulldog Jason Needham died yesterday. Jason was a great football player for the Dawgs back in 96 and helped the Dawgs win the State Championship that year. He was like a mentor to me back in 1996 when I was just a 9th grader, and he has always been really good friend to me. He was a great guy, a people person that talked and was nice to everyone. He will be missed. Jason was 26 year old.

I just thought fellow Bulldogs fans and LPD fans alike would wanna know that we lost a friend. RIP Jason.

Jason Needham.. I swear that name sounds familiar to me, but I only kept up with the Bulldogs back in 1997 (or maybe it was '98) when they had that spectacular year with Travis Turner as a senior QB.

Anyhow, that doesn't even matter now... although I didn't really know the guy, it is definitely sad that he died at such a young age.

R.I.P. Jason.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Jason and I have a mutual friend in common so he and I talked quite a bit. He seemed like a genuine, carefree, sweet, funny guy. I really hate to hear this. His family and friends are all in my thoughts/prayers.

Sad news indeed, I didn't really know him but played poker with him a couple times. Always seemed like a nice guy, I'm sure he'll be missed by many. RIP.

Heard about it this afternoon. Someone mentioned Jason's name, but i sure didn't expect to hear, that he had past away. Was a fine young man and way to young to be gone from us. My thought and prayers are with the Needham family.
