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.

I hate to hear this. What happened? The family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I heard about him dying at work today. Have been trying to figure out if he is kin to a coworker who is not hear today.

Sorry the loss.

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.

Im so sorry to hear this another young man taken away from us. I will be praying for his family and all those who knew him.

That type of info doesn't need to be posted here

Let's respect his family and leave that info off the forum.

Agreed

Sorry to hear that about this young man...The family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

He was one of my real good friends growing up with me being from Andover and all My sis just called me from NC and told me about 30 min ago! I really don't understand! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I've talked with the young mans girlfriend, and she wants me to let everyone know that if it was an OD he didn't intentionaly do it.
She said he was saved, been reading his bible with her, and they were in love and planned on a wedding next spring. This is such a great loss for her, his family, and all friends. My thoughts and prayers are with them all.

We have talked to his girlfriend continuously since this happened...she is best friends with my girlfriend and her sister so it was devastating to hear her on the phone a couple of hours after she found him...i won't go into details about what happened but please pray for her and Jason's family...they truly need prayers now
