Obituary
MADISON – Jason John McCarthy, age 47, passed away at Agrace Hospice on Friday, January 19, 2024. Jason was born on December 11, 1976 in Madison, WI to Dennis and Melody McCarthy. He grew up in Madison and graduated from East High School in 1995. Jason married the love of his life, Melissa, on July 24, 2010 at Lakeview Lutheran Church, Madison. He was a certified chef at several establishments in the Madison area. Jason loved fishing, especially with his Uncle Keith and Kevin “K-Dawg”, listening and singing to music, writing poetry and his biggest joy was being with his children, family, playing catch with Chicharrones, Chief, and having popsicles with his “little buddy” Caden. He was a kind, loving and thoughtful person. He touched a lot of people’s lives. Although he struggled for many years he always let his children and family know how much he loved them.
May you fly high with the angels and sing your favorite songs. Your struggles are finally over, and your eternal peace has just begun. You will forever be in our hearts.
