Jason Brown
I don't know where to start.. when I read the internal email about Jason, I had to re-read it a few times as it just couldn't be true. Sadly if was, and I am so sorry for Jason's family and hope these stories help a little. I have lots of stories, but firstly having the same name as Jason we usually got each others calls, especially Jason when my kids asked Alexa to call Jason (I am their dad, honestly) .. I had to keep apologising to Mr O for that,..:) Once we had a team of three Jasons and well, yes conference calls got very confusing. I always recall one trip we had down in Reading at Cisco, and apart from eating steak and half a lettuce every night the local restaurant, he gave me a lift in his mid life crisis boy racer Renault (I think it was a Renault).. anyway, I could tell it was his pride and joy. I forever apologised when my rucksack buckle dented his chrome door cill.. I was gutted and it was the nearest I had ever seen J from losing his cool.. I still feel guilty.. My other fondest memory was when I played Golf at Forest Pines with him, and at the end he said J I have something for you and took me to his car (changed now as I presume the previous dint on his boy racer was too much for him).. he opened his boot and gave me his kids old golf clubs for my kids! I was so surprised, happy and grateful for his kindness but that was totally typical of Jason's nature. The kids still use these clubs today. Recently I also had an in-depth conversation with him about his home security camera's as we shared each others home live views, he was such a nerd but we loved him for that! He always talked about his family he loved so much, and he obviously knew what was important in life (hint - it is not work), We will always miss you Mr O..

Like many of us at KCOM, we have enjoyed working with this great guy for many years, just 30 for me, and none of us would have a bad word to say about him, or he them. He was a laid back guy who hardly ever got rattled and accepted people for who they were, an admirable trait. His skill, knowledge and patience complemented with an uncomplicated friendly manner made him a friend to many, many people. He was my friend, and I miss him, can't quite believe he's not mulling around somewhere. When I did 121's within him, and there was a lot over the years, we always talked about one thing more than anything else....family, me mine and Jason his. Every quarter or so I would hear what Michelle, Lauren and Alex were up to, he shared his love for them openly, and made me do the same. I have lots of great memories of Jason, to pick just one out - the picture of disbelief on his face when I told him that Torch were going to pay him £1600 for one nights work just in case something happened with this thing called the millennium bug - it was like he knew nothing was going to stop working - "but it covered the cost of Christmas" he said as he shook my hand! Thanks for all the memories, your dedication, loyalty and friendship Jason, my heart goes out to Michelle, Lauren and Alex who know more than any of us what a special man we have lost. Brian x

I met Jason around 1992 in Telephone House Carr Lane. I was a 16 year old apprentice and Jason was a graduate. We both ended up in the NMC in about 94, Jason was one of my Seniors in there. Back then not many of us were clever enough to have degrees so everyone was a bit wary of this brainy guy! We worked together for a few years in Hull before Jason moved over to the Wakefield office and I followed him over soon after. During the next 22 plus years Jason worked in a team I ran, he worked alongside me, advised me, came to me for help but most of all was always one of those who you knew would help you get the job done. The amount of projects, systems, networks that Jason worked on (often as the lead) is huge, he literally built most of the networks in KCOM in some way. He was once described as one of the cleverest men I have ever met by one of my colleagues, which I agree with but it is the way he got that across to people that was his true magic. The way he explained and articulated to people, got people on board (especially his drawings!) was amazing and I honestly don't know anyone else who could match him for that. His loss has affected us all here at KCOM, I am still struggling to come to terms with it. Because I have known him for so long a lot of people have come to me to say what a truly wonderful guy he was, and this page is there to share that, store it and make sure his friends and family can see that as it shouldn't be lost in a conversation, e-mail or message. I haven't seen Jason's family for a long time, we live in different parts of the country and work / personal lives don't often cross over. But we talk about our families all the time so I do feel like I have literally grown up with them, so sending my thoughts and love to them, RIP J, we all miss you terribly x

I have been deeply saddened by the loss of my friend Jason. Jason was my manager when I returned to KCOM in the early 2000s. I had known him for many years, from back when he started at KCOM as a graduate in the NMC in Hull. Back then we had lots of laughs and incidents. Years later, when I worked for him, he was the kindest and most caring manager anyone could have wished for. He was always concerned with our wellbeing. We would share many a joke and a story. Fridays were spent seeking out the best fish and chip shops in the Wakefield area. We'd visit a different one each week. We attended many meetings and training courses together. I remember a service review with Nortel in Harlow. Unable to get into a decent hotel, Jason suggested that he, Jonathan Fowler and I book into The Green Man. We duly went ahead. We'd been delayed on the way, and were starving by the time we arrived. On checking in, we were told that the kitchen had closed. Jason appealed to the staff who said that they would see what they could do to 'rustle something up', and told us to take a seat in the restaurant, which was deathly quiet. Sometime later the food arrived: pasta in a tomato sauce. Beggars can't be choosers, we thought and duly tucked in. As soon as we took the first bite, it was obvious that the sauce was, in fact, tomato ketchup! Our disappointment with the meal was nothing compared to the three of us jumping out of our chairs in unison, as a mouse ran across our feet under the table! This was just one of the memories that come to mind when thinking of Jason. during those many nights away, we would share stories of our families. Michelle, Lauren and Alex were never far from his mind. He was besotted with, and very proud of his family and their achievements. I will miss my friend deeply. The pictures on this page represent perfectly the man Jason was: a warm, generous and lovely person, whom I am very proud to have had in my life. Jason almost always had a warm smile and a twinkle in his eye. Rest in peace dear friend.
