“We are told it will be February before they can tell us why he has died,” Kieron said, according to The Star. “He had been complaining of heartburn, but nothing serious. The ambulance arrived really quickly, in three or four minutes, but we think he had already died.” The 30-year-old reportedly worked full-time caring for his mom. He was a loyal Sheffield United (a professional English soccer club) fan, although he could not afford to watch all their games. There is reportedly talk of holding a Sheffield United-themed funeral for the deceased.
Kieron described him as a man without a “bad bone in his body." “All our world has been turned upside down,” Kieron said. “Jason did not have a bad bone in his body — he did not deserve this to happen to him. He would do anything to help other people. He was a good dad and enjoyed taking his children to the park.”
Jason’s family wants to know what led to his children and brother suffering such a devastating loss. “We need answers. We need to know why he collapsed. There was nothing apparently wrong with him. He had heartburn, like indigestion. We are all devastated. Jason was a popular man with a lot of friends,” Kieron added.
A GoFundMe has been set up by the family in the hopes of covering the cost of the funeral, reported the outlet.
