When he passed away, he was working for Contemporary Services Corporation, which allowed him to work professional and college sports as well as concerts in various cities. His last trip out of town was to work the Rose Bowl in January.

He loved his family, his friends, the SF Giants and Kansas State University. Hard to say which would be his number one love! Jason was preceded in death by his father, Gene Avila.
