Jason Scott Foures passed into life with Christ on January 16, 2026 in Nashville,TN at the age of 54.

He is survived by his parents, Lynda K. Long and Steven H. Foures and preceded in death by his grandparents Alton and Lucile Long and Mack and Gladys Foures and cousin Russell Johnson.

Jason is also survived by many cousins and very special friends whom he kept in his heart wherever he lived.

He was a graduate of South Plantation HS, Fort Lauderdale, FL, qualified as an Emergency Medical Technician, then earned a BS degree at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, FL.

Early jobs included store manager at Nashville’s Sunshine Groceries that led to managing Whole Foods in South Beach. Next at Lee Memorial Hospital, he was a tech in the Emergency Room. Later he became a math teacher and coached basketball and volleyball in Southwest FL. His last teaching role was in Lithia before moving back to Nashville.

Jason loved teaching, especially coaching, but his real passion was music.

In his last years in Nashville, he wrote music and worked at Ascension St Thomas West Midtown where he met many new friends.

Jason had a golden, generous heart. After 9/11 he volunteered at the fire department in Pine Island, FL. While in Lithia, he donated many hours on stage at churches in Lithia and Zephyrhills playing his 5-string bass guitar and Moog synth.

He was at the center of our hearts. We will see Jason (Jabo) again in Heaven, do doubt with guitar in hand and a blazing smile.

A celebration of life will take place on April 25, 2026 through Hamlin and Hilbish in Eustis, Florida.

First, a graveside service will be at 12 noon at Lakeside Memorial Gardens at 36601 County Road, Eustis, Florida  32726.

Then, a Celebration of Life begins at 1:00 pm in the Hamlin and Hilbish Chapel at 326 E. Orange Avenue, Eustis, Florida  32726.

  18. Jason was one of a kind. I had the pleasure of helping him fix up his apartment a few times and he was so nice to chat and joke with, as well as share our love of music. My mother adored him as a coworker and friend, and he will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
    May he rest in peace, in Jesus name.

  25. I am so saddened to hear about the loss of Jason. Although I did’nt have the privilege of knowing him personally, I felt the love and warmth in every story you shared. It’s clear he lived his life with strength and generosity and chose to give so much of himself to others. I hope you can feel surrounded by the same generosity and care that he brought into the world. Please know I’m holding you in my thoughts and wishing you comfort.

  26. Oh J, you are gone far too soon. I will never forget your energy, your smile or your brilliant humor. It was perfection. Your light will forever live on in the hearts of every single person who knew you. Rest in the arms of Jesus and make beautiful music with the angel. Teach them to love and appreciate the way that the bass carries the music, as you did me. God bless your sweet mama, keep loving watch over her peace. Love and prayers

  31. Jason truly had one of the kindest hearts. He showed up every day with a positive attitude, a big smile, and always ready to share the latest Liverpool update. His kindness, warmth, and genuine care for others made such a difference, and we were so incredibly blessed to have him as part of our team. Our Google meetings don’t feel the same without him, but his spirit, laughter, and light continue to live on in the SPS offices and in all of us who were lucky enough to know him. I’m sending all of my love and prayers to your family during this incredibly difficult time.

  32. If you ever doubted the world could see your light, trust that the stars are absolutely showing off for you now. I hope wherever you are there is wonder and moonlight, Liverpool futbol, an unreasonable amount of dipping sauce for your fries, and music loud enough to justify breaking into song for no apparent reason. After being cooped up in an office all day, we somehow knew exactly when it was time to sing the same song at the same time—and honestly, I don’t think anyone else quite understood that synchronicity.
    It’s never goodbye, only see you later. I miss your Eddie Murphy impersonations, the ’80s hits, and the way you made ordinary days feel… well extraordinary. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, your humor, and your unmistakable spark with the world. May you have found peace wherever you are. Stay gold. <3
