Obituary For Jason John McCarthy
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.
Jason is survived by his mother, Melody (Mike) Schmitt; children, Tianna (Courtney) and Isaak; mother of his children, Erin Dietzman; siblings, Tyler and Shania; stepsister, Jackie Greathouse; and grandfather, John Topper. He is further survived by several other family and friends.
He is preceded in death by his father, Dennis; life partner, Melissa; uncles, Keith Farris, Danny and David McCarthy; grandparents, Marion and Katherine Farris, Gerald McCarthy and Linda Topper; and his faithful loving dog, Chief.

Sadly, I stumbled upon the passing of Jason while on Facebook looking at the memorial service pictures for Tim Quinlan. This shocked me, and my condolences go out to his family and children. I haven't seen Jason in many years, but our friendship was a treasure to me, he was a treasure of a friend, and I will be forever grateful to have known him. RIP J!

I just want to say RIP Jason. I knew him in H.S. at East High. We were classmates 😢. It's so unreal that our class seems to be fading away. Last memory I have of you is having a heart to heart at Taco Bell (while you were cleaning off the tables), and we were talking about our classes mates. Then you wanted to bum a cigarette off me lol those memories I will cherish!!!😢Say Hi To Mr. McPike up there lol
