Jason was born to Ervin and Ann (nee Aubuchon) Roscow on Oct. 23, 1978, in Belleville. He grew up in Prairie du Rocher and was commonly known by friends and family as “Peco.” Jason had a spirit of service at a young age, shown by volunteering as a fireman for the Prairie du Rocher Fire Department. 

Following graduation from Red Bud High School, he enlisted in the Air Force. As part of the security police, he was stationed worldwide, including in South Korea, Iraq and Kuwait. Keeping ties to his hometown, he was a lifetime member of VFW Post 6632 in Red Bud and American Legion Post 622 in Prairie du Rocher.

Jason was a loving and devoted father to his two sons: Graysen (his mother, Rebecca Palmer) and Andrew (his mother, Stephanie Cafiero).

His many friends, co-workers and neighbors will also miss his presence in their lives. He was known as a “protector” and “friend to all.”

Jason was preceded in death by his grandparents James and Thelma Roscow and Oliver and Dorothy Aubuchon and his aunt Roseanne Mollet.
