In Loving Memory of Jason Paul Folk “Jay Bird, Mommom’s Little Teddy Bear, Whispering Sam” December 18, 1986 – July 29, 2025 Jason Paul Folk, lovingly known by many nicknames — Jay Bird, Mommom’s little Teddy Bear, Whispering Sam Read Obituary
Jason was such a sweet, loving soul. When I met him several years ago, he always had the most contagious smile and best hugs. He was like hugging a teddy bear. Jason and I had went for a little while without talking and recently reconnected and would see how each other was doing, he always asked me about my girls and how they was doing, life, etc. I had messaged Jason a couple weeks ago and didn't get a response, which was unlike him, and found out the devastating news yesterday of his passing. Jason was truly a great person/friend and I am going to miss him so much. Until we meet again my friend!
My precious Jason, from the moment I knew you were to be born I was overjoyed with a love and a bond I had never felt before. My heart was filled with so much love, anticipation and excitement. I am forever grateful for all my memories and every moment we shared together. You confided your hopes, fears, and dreams in me, and I encouraged you along the way. I still can’t believe you’re gone, I keep waiting for you to walk through the front door. In the still of the day I can still hear you say “hey mom…” I cherish that, and hope I always hear your voice.
I thought writing your obituary was the most difficult thing I have ever done. But I was wrong. Living life without you is even harder. Living without your smile and hugs. You were, and forever will be my smile. Beyond that great big smile of yours was an even greater and bigger heart. You are my greatest blessing and greatest love. You are the greatest gift from God. Thank you for the best 38 years of my life. I am so proud of you Jason. So very, very proud. Please tell God “thank you” for me. Tell him how grateful, lucky, and privileged I feel that he chose me to be your mom. I love you so very much. My pride. My joy. My love. My life. My one and only. Until I am called up to be with you…I hold you with my whole entire heart. I miss you, everything about you. I love you, I love you, I love you!!!
Love always and forever, Mom XO 💙❤️
Jason and I met during our time together at Reynolds Consumer Products. The job was rough, and came with a lot of tougher days, but Jason was always able to make the most of it, always had some comment or phrase to bring the motivation back into the situation so we could get back to enjoying the work day. Outside of work he was as pure of heart of anyone I’d ever met. When my life exploded in front of my face and I was at my lowest sitting in a house with no power, no water, getting ready to make the hardest move of my entire life, Jason called me up and said “Did you think you were just gonna be able to leave town without hanging out with me?” He took me to the gym, and we went to go see the new F1 movie in theaters, and on the way to the theater got to meet Jason’s mother because they had caught a flat on the way home from dinner. In this day I saw Jason for who he truly was, a family man through and through, and not in the traditional sense. In the proper sense, family isn’t just blood, it’s your friends, anyone you care about. Jason was more than just a friend, he was family. Rest in peace brother, you can finally rest!
Jason, I’ve known your mom & family since she & I were in jr high school. I know you were the light in her life. Everyone who’s life you touched in any way is deeply saddened by this tragic loss. Please be an Angel who flies low for a while; until your mom is able to find peace. Her love is forever with you. 💕
My fondest memory of Jadon was watching the immense pride in his mothers eyes when she spoke of him . I remember when he was working construction in Mooresville. The work was tough and long hours under the blazing sun—but he showed up without complaint. His goals didn’t end with the job. He was not just building houses; he was building a future. A future where he was not only stronger in body, but in mind and spirit too. Jadon persevered turning hardship into fuel. Turning struggle into strength. And every step forward, no matter how small was proof he became the man he was always meant to be. Rest in peace, Jason.

Jason loved all his “siblings” including his dog sisters, Maggie and Sydney. He wished me a Happy Mother’s Day and thanked me for giving him the best sister and brother. ❤️
