Jason Breaza to be Remembered

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:26:03 +0000

Dear Fellow Fathomiers,

One of our own, Jason Breaza, has passed recently.

For those of us that knew Jay, I believe many would agree that his sense of humor and funny way of looking at things and life will be dearly missed. I can personally say that although I didn’t know him like a blood brother, he will be remembered as a Fathomier brother none the less, and I will miss seeing him on those days when the dive conditions were less than stellar, but hearing some of his funny quips on life made for lots of laughter and good times post-dive. I still can’t believe he went out at Terranea 2 years ago when the whole coast was getting slammed and the water, even at the Terranea was brown, blown and freezing. What a champ and an inspiration in humor!

Jay you will be missed! May your spirit shine down on those lame days when a good laughter is needed!

Please see Funeral and Memorial arrangement information below.

If you are available please try your best to attend in honor of Jay!

Respectfully,

Erik Sochin

Fathomiers 2012 President
