Jason Denson

KINGWOOD, Texas -- Jason Wayne Denson was granted a new badge of honor in the early morning hours of Monday, Nov. 9, 2020. His final days were surrounded by family and friends that Jason had touched in some way or another throughout his adventurous and memorable life.

People respected and admired him for his sense of humor, quick wit, loyalty and everything he stood for. Jason, a boy scout at heart, loved to camp, be in nature, and loved it even more when he spent it with family.

His adventures started July 10, 1974, in Cape Girardeau, where he lived until grade school. His family then relocated to Mandeville, Louisiana, where he spent the greater part of his childhood.

Jason Denson

Upon graduating high school in 1992, Jason enlisted into the U.S. Navy. He served four years of active duty during Desert Shield on the USS Oldendorf traveling all over the world. After earning an honorable discharge with many service medals, he found his way to Houston, Texas, where he met Heather, the love of his life and best friend.

They traveled all over, lived in many places, and made countless memories. Not only was Jason a wonderful son, loving husband, best friend to many, and a respectable soldier, he was the ultimate fighter. There will never be another Jason Denson, another Den Dog, or another J.J. Those who knew him should feel honored God gave them such a gift.

Jason is survived by his loving wife of 23 years, Heather Denson; devoted parents, Susan and Bruce Gillespie, and Bill and Deborah Denson; siblings, Eric, Aaron, Kyle, Nathan, Phillip, Nick and Jacqueline; as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, and lots of cousins. He surrounded himself with many friends from all over.

He loved God and country.

Jason will be honored at 10:45 a.m. Dec. 5 at 10410 Veterans Memorial Drive in Houston.
