Jason England My Personal Eulogy We are here today for Jason J England. Born on October 12, 1998 in Salt lake City, Utah. Jason had a rough childhood. He moved through 3 states and didn’t settle down until the age of five. By that age he moved to Craig, Colorado and grew up there for 11 years. But him growing up always dealt with family problems that included social services and the police. When he got to Colorado and met his best friend Edgar and some neighbors they all were always together. Always outside doing something so that took Jason away from all the drama at home. Until his 3rd-5th grade years hit him and social services were attempting to take him and his sisters away from their mother and the cops were always around checking up or arresting his oldest brother. With all this going on, it never stopped him from going and seeing his friends every day. His teenage years hit him the hardest though. Everything started to happen and he adapted to what was going on. Girls started to come and go. Sports were always on his mind and he always tried new things out just to see if he likes it or not. When 7th grade ended he already knew 3 sports he will always do. He was interested in football, basketball, and track. Wasn’t so good at basketball but he was good in …show more content…
He loved being D-End and was always happy playing no matter where he was. Jason wanted to go play for the Green Bay Packers on their defensive line no matter what position it was. But when he got into high school, after his junior year, he started to get interested into business and being a teacher. A lot of people thought he was weird for thinking of these three career choices but it really told you a lot of who he really was. He wanted to make money and get his family into good houses and have his own family live a better life than he did. He also loved to teach others new things. Help them get better in a subject that he knew well or was really good
Having lost all of his memories, Jason is put in a difficult situation where he cannot look at his past to help him with his decisions. This quote shows his lack of confidence before the start of his quest “Everyone seemed to think he was so brave and confident, but they didn’t see how lost he really felt. How could they trust him when he didn’t even know who he was?” (Riordan 166). He is forced to rely on his instincts, and what his heart tells him is right, so that he can make the best decisions. This quote shows us how he makes decisions “He reached in his pocket and pulled out the gold coin. He let his instincts take over, flipping the coin in the air like he’d done it a thousand times. He caught it in his palm, and suddenly he was holding a sword—a wickedly sharp double-edged weapon.” (Riordan 23). Keep in mind that when doing this, he had no knowledge of him ever doing this before. This was all done on his instincts. Jason might not have memories of who he was, or what he did, but he has learned that if he is going to lead his friends like a Husky leading a sled ☺ (Simile) he is going to have to lead with integrity and use his instincts to help
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank all of you for your compassion and for being present here today. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Mauri-Lynne, and I'm Lionel's daughter. Dad was devoted to every one of you. We all hope that you'll share your memories of him with us, if not today then in the weeks and months to come.
I’m glad we have Maurice, my mother’s younger brother here today. Ella, her older sister, unfortunately couldn’t make it, but I know the news of my mothers death hit her hard. And I know that she prayed with all her will, for my mother.
It is hard to give a eulogy for one’s parent. More than the death of a classmate or sibling, the death of a parent is not only a loss, but also a reminder that we are all following an inevitable path. We are all “Outrunning Our Shadow” as her friend Fred Hill so provocatively titled his book.
I stand before you today to pay my last respects, and to say my final goodbyes, to my father Harry.
For the first time in my life, I'll celebrate Father's Day this year without my dad. The man who had the most influence on the man I became passed away on April 14. Jack was 79.
A large portion of my time in high school was spent dedicated to football, where I played Quarterback. I was the starter my senior year, and grew to truly love and appreciate the game. I learned to value the hard work, dedication, and mental and physical toughness it takes to succeed on and off the field.
My mother was a complex, multi-faceted person. Many of you here today knew my mother personally, and many of you knew my mother indirectly through one of her family members. You may have known her as a coworker, a friend, or a support person. Of course, all of my mother’s family here today each knew a part of her, a “facet” of her--as a mother, a sister, an aunt, a grandmother, a cousin.
Thank you all so much for coming today to help my brother, sisters and me remember our father, Ralph.
When I was little, if you couldn't find me, I could be anywhere— up a tree, under the covers, in the closet, even hiding in the bathroom where I couldn't be disturbed... but almost always with a book. Friends even through college would ask how it was that I gobbled up words like peanut butter. Usually, I would just shrug and say, “I have no idea where it came from!” Thinking back, though, it's so obvious— how could I miss it?
The subject of death and dying can cause many controversies for health care providers. Not only can it cause legal issues for them, but it also brings about many ethical issues as well. Nearly every health care professional has experienced a situation dealing with death or dying. This tends to be a tough topic for many people, so health care professionals should take caution when handling these matters. Healthcare professionals not only deal with patient issues but also those of the family. Some of the controversies of death and dying many include; stages of death and dying, quality of life issues, use of medications and advanced directives.
Right around that time, football changed my life. Even from the start, I was a natural. I didn't even require much technique at first; I just used my raw athleticism to block, tackle, and kick better than everyone else. As I got older, I became a utility player; I did
Before I begin I would like to thank all of you here on behalf of my mother, my brother and myself, for your efforts large and small to be here today, to help us mark my fathers passing.
... average season. The next year my senior year went along the lines with my junior year. I got injured the first game with a separated shoulder. I continued to play the season despite the pain because you only have one chance at high school football and I wasn’t going to miss one play. We ended the season with another 5-5 record. Now this phase of my football career had ended and it was time to move on.
Death is something that causes fear in many peoples lives. People will typically try to avoid the conversation of death at all cost. The word itself tends to freak people out. The thought of death is far beyond any living person’s grasp. When people that are living think about the concept of death, their minds go to many different places. Death is a thing that causes pain in peoples lives, but can also be a blessing.
