Obituary for Jason Glen Snow
Mr. Jason Glen Snow of Coley’s Point, passed peacefully away at the Health Sciences Centre, St. John’s on Saturday, February 4, 2023. Mr. Snow was 41 years old.
He leaves to mourn his loving family:
Partner: Myra Dawson
Children: Avery & Maggie
Parents: Glyndon & Joan
Brother: Michael (Amanda)
Niece: Nicole
Nephew: Kaelan
Mother-in-law: Pearl Dawson
Sisters-in-law: Amy Dawson (Gord) & Nada Rideout (Kerry)
And a large circle of family and friends
Predeceased by:
Grandparents: George & Rose Reid and Clarence & Maisie Snow
Father-in-law: Hugh Dawson
Jason grew up in Coley’s Point where he played with his cousins by the water. During his high school years he had a stint in Chamberlands where Jason started his employment with a paper route. The family returned home to “the neck” for Jason’s senior year of high school.
Jason worked Moorefrost unloading shrimp boats and with his uncle at the fishplant, which further entrenched his love of the ocean and the beginning of his pirate persona. In 2001, Jason moved to Alberta with some of the boys and worked at various jobs in the oilfield primarily in Cold Lake and Portage (Ensign and Rockwell). While Jason was building his career, more importantly he was building a network of friends along the way which he cherished deeply.
In 2011, the lure of the Atlantic drew Jason home to be near his family. Timing is everything as shortly after moving home he met and fell in love with Myra. Jason's oilfield experience helped him quickly land a job with Transocean on the Henry Goodrich. Jason loved being at the heart of petroleum drilling. It was this part of the production that kept the gears of his analytical mind well oiled. Restarting his oil field career, he was quick to rise in the ranks where he made more local oil field connections. Many of these riggers become brothers. Jobs and life would move them apart and Jason was sent to some international hitches in Norway, Malaysia, Namibia, Mississippi and Trinidad; but the brotherhood is a very strong bond allowing them to pick up wherever they left off.
Together Jason and Myra built a life in Torbay. Creating a warm and inviting home where friends and family could gather. Jason’s interests were many. He loved carpentry and building furniture, picking things apart and sometimes putting them back together, Rummoli night with friends, puzzles and brain benders, Jiggs and Reels, baking bread and all things pizza and pirates. His life was large but it was not full until his children Avery Reid and Maggie Jane blessed their home. Jason will forever be remembered for his big presence, big laugh, and big heart.
