Celebration of Jason’s Life

Matt — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 15:31:50 +0000

This is the archive of the celebration event held on November 30, 2010.

On November 23, 2010, our world lost a loving, creative soul, Jason A. Mitchell. He was an adoring father and husband, a devoted son and brother, and a joy to all who were fortunate enough to call him friend. Jason is survived by his wife, René; their two daughters, Adeline and Ruby Grace; his parents, George and Jean Mitchell; his sister, Sarah Mitchell; his niece, Marina Mitchell; and a large extended family.

Jason was born on November 8, 1974 in Klamath Falls, Oregon but moved to Bend at an early age. He graduated from Mountain View High in 1992 and went on to attend University of Colorado where he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, Finance. Jason joined the Bank of the Cascades in 1996. He was a successful businessman, an active community member, a photographer, a snowboarder, a world traveler, and river guide.

To know Jason was to love him. His spirit was so strong, his heart so big, his humor so warm and inclusive. He went by many names, he wore many hats, most notably a big black Stetson. To his mother and sister, he was J. To the Old Man, he was Big Boy. On the Rogue River, he was Trip Leader or TL, taking care of the many details. To his younger friends, he was Mitchell, always up for a trip to Dandy’s or a game of Madden. For so many, he was simply Banker, the friend who could always be counted on to make us smile or lead a bike parade. Regardless of what we called him, we called him. We called him when we needed to talk, when we wanted to laugh, when we needed assistance with finances, river trips, t-shirt designs, the perfect Pa Pollard, child-rearing, making pickles or jam, bonfire building, and love.

Jason loved deeply. In 2006, he married his best friend, René Bristow, otherwise known as Disco. Together Banker and Disco, were always surrounded by friends and family, an ever-growing circle. The circle remains, arms and hearts entwined, but we are missing our center spoke.

A celebration of Jason’s life was held on Tuesday, November 30, 2010, at 11:00 am in the Tower Theatre.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Adeline & Ruby Grace Mitchell Education Fund at Bank of the Cascades.

Mike Arauz, Senior Strategist at Undercurrent discusses why if you’re only using the experiences you design to get your audience’s attention, or even to simply interact with individuals, you’re missing out on the huge opportunity that digital technology enables: the ability to bring people together in order to share, cooperate and work collaboratively toward a shared collective action. Mike will bring together a lot of what he’s been studying and writing about over the past year related to this topic.

Mike is a Senior Strategist at Undercurrent, a New York-based digital think tank. He’s a voracious blog reader, Twitterer, and consumer of digital information, and has enjoyed sharing his discoveries with audiences at conferences such as FutureTrends and SXSW Interactive. View his website here.
