Sunbury - Jason R. Schaeffer, 31, of Sunbury, passed away unexpectedly July 30 following a motorcycle accident.

There are no words that can truly capture the life of Jason Schaeffer Jr. He lived with a generous heart, a contagious laugh, and a personality that could brighten any room. He was truly the "life of the party" kind of guy. Whether he was spending time with family, helping a friend, or simply making people smile, Jason left an impression that will never be forgotten.

Jason's greatest gift was the love he shared with everyone around him. He loved camping, cookouts, family gatherings, fishing, and riding his beloved motorcycle wherever the road would take him. He enjoyed a good laugh and was always looking for the next adventure or a reason to bring people together and have a good time.

Our hearts are broken by this unimaginable loss. Jason was deeply loved and will be forever missed, forever remembered, and forever carried in the hearts of those who knew him.

Jason is survived by his beloved daughter, Alycia, whom he loved more than anything; his parents, Jason Schaeffer Sr. and April Singletary; his sisters, Jolenda, Jenna, Jayda, and Tat; his brother-in-law, Corey; his uncles, JR, Sean, Nate, and Brad; his aunts, Jess, Holly, and Nicole; his grandparents, Glenda and Russ; his nieces and nephews, Alivia, Kam, Emme, Osiris, Grayson, and Landon, who loved their Uncle Jay fiercely; his cousins, Cole, Kyle, Brianna, Peyton, Alex, Kiera, and many other cousins; as well as countless friends whose lives were made brighter by knowing him.

Jason is proceeded in death by his Pap (Donald), Nanny (Sue), Pap Pap (John), and his very beloved Aunt Salina.

Although Jason's time with us was far too short, the memories he created, the laughter he shared, and the love he gave so freely will live on in all of us. His spirit will never be forgotten. 31 years just wasn't enough ... Ride free, Jason.

A viewing will be held Wednesday, Aug. 5, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Higher Hope Church, 1000 Race St., Sunbury.

The family requests that guests wear biker apparel/gear and if they have a bike, to ride it to the service in honor of Jason.

Arrangements are by the Blank Funeral Home, 395 State St., Sunbury.
