Jason was born on September 17, 1967 in Rochester, New York to the late George C. Murphy and Joy Cafaro Murphy. He was a graduate of the University of Buffalo.
Jason was a loving husband and devoted father to his daughters. He was employed by Hill’s Pet Nutrition. When not at work, Jason most enjoyed cooking. He was the quintessential host. He was popular among his daughters’ friends because he would drop everything to provide anything from warm muffins at 6 a.m. to full meals. Linguini and clam sauce was the house specialty.
Jason is survived by his wife Michelle Pask Murphy, daughters Madison Murphy and Catherine Murphy, of Lawrence, Kan. One sister, Nancy Kingsley, of Fairport, NY. Mother and father-in-law Barbara and Michael Strollo, of Florida. Brothers and sisters in law: Michael Pask, of Basom, Denise Pask, of Batavia, David (Karen) Strollo, of Virginia, Jason (Jessica) Lawrence, of Attica, Jamie (Jon) Hoca, of Batavia. Several nieces and nephews.
There will be no prior visitation. Family and friends are cordially invited to share thoughts, condolences and fond memories at an Open House style Celebration of Life Service on Monday, April 3 at The Rochester Club West @ Bohn’s 5256 Clinton Street Road, Batavia, NY 14020. 6 – 9 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Jason’s name to the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Oncology Center, 325 Maine St., Lawrence, KS 66044.
