HIGHET, Jason

The Arizona Republic, Phoenix, Arizona Wednesday, January 15, 2003 In Memory of Jason Highet, loving son, caring brother, true friend. July 14, 2002 Today is Jason's 19th birthday, and he should be celebrating instead we will again spend time at your grave, and friends will leave gifts, cards & flowers. And we will leave our hearts because now memories are all we have left. Besides the questions of why and how You should be going to school, riding a dirt bike or heading to the dunes. You should be in your truck at Sycamore 4-wheeling or flying through the air on the Banshee abd out having fun. We should still have a garage full of boys, a cul-de-sac filled with trucks. We should not have the dead silence that now fills our home. Your sister shouldn't be an only child or your dad without his son. I shouldn't have to grieve the things you'll never do or have: a wife, or children or a family of your own. I think of your young face & can't believe your life ended so tragicallly. You loved life so much & had so much yet to do. The night you died, our hearts went with you. Every tomorrow starts without Jason. Every day ends in suffering & regret as no farewell words were ever spoken & no final goodbyes were said. If our love could have saved you, Jason, you never would have died. You may be taken from our arms, but you will forever remain in our hearts. Later...mom, dad, Bobbi and all those you've left behind Courtesy of Pat Wilson.
