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.

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.
