Legacy of Jason Patton

Honoring a Life Cut Short. Carrying Hope Forward.

Who Jason Was

Jason Patton was a young life filled with promise, kindness, and untapped potential. Though his time was brief, his presence left a lasting imprint on those who loved him. Jason was deeply connected to family, grounded in sincerity, and remembered for his gentle spirit and genuine heart. 

He was Barbara’s son from a previous marriage and adopted by Rick. His life, and loss, became a defining reminder of the importance of giving young people a chance to be seen, supported, and believed in.

Jason’s story is not defined by how it ended, but by the love he gave and the meaning it continues to inspire.

Why Jason’s Legacy Matters to Red Top Ranch Coffee

Red Top Ranch Coffee exists to restore hope, rebuild trust, and create opportunity for adopted young adults who have often run out of options. Jason’s legacy aligns with this mission in a deeply human way.

His life reminds us that not every journey is long but every life matters. By honoring Jason, Red Top Ranch Coffee affirms its commitment to standing in the gap for young people who have done everything right, yet still face closed doors.

This legacy is about compassion without conditions and support without judgment.

The Jason Patton Memorial Scholarship

The Jason Patton Memorial Scholarship Fund was created to support adopted students who have exhausted traditional avenues for educational assistance but were not successful. 

A portion of all proceeds go to adopted students who:

  • Have aged out of systems meant to protect them
  • Have applied, tried, and persisted
  • Are willing to work for their future, but lack the final support to move forward

This scholarship is not about charity, it is about dignity, perseverance, and honoring effort.

Every award given in Jason’s name ensures that his legacy lives on through opportunity, education, and hope.
