Jason Coffey Obituary

Remembering Jason on the 20th anniversary of 9/11...

Its impossible to believe that this still happened and your not here making family memories and having milestones like the rest of us, its not fair- that you cant be here with your family and Colleen. You were taken away from us in such a terrible way.
Please know your thought of often, I remember your laugh, your sarcasm, your thoughtfulness, the way youd stick your finger in my face and say Im not touching you, and most of all the way you cared and valued your friendships. Keep an eye on us up there!! Mrs. Coffey, Dan, Kevin, Colleen and Rosie ❤ You guys are always in my thoughts.

18 years have passed and tonight, out of the blue, I came across a list Remembering lives lost from the Hudson Valley and saw your name. I had no idea that we both grew up in this area. I have fond memories of our times together at Bryant. Coffey you were always laughing and smiling which I certainly hope you are doing now. Mike and I are still good friends and I can only imagine we would be too, considering we live 15 minutes from one another. My heart goes out to all of your family, as Im sure year 18 doesnt get any easier. Fly high my friend, until we meet again. In loving memory.

It's been almost 10 years since you have been gone. Not a day goes by that my family does not think about you or your father. Thanks for watching over all of us in this time of healing.

Miss you!

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Jason, Jason, Jason...I cannot believe six years have now passed and again I think about you all the time, you were a wonderful person and a great true friend. I miss you!
Love,
Jennifer (Montone) Weber

I can't believe it has been almost 6 years. You are remembered in my heart and prayers every day. I wish you were still here to see all of the exciting things in life. You were taken too soon, but I look forward to the day that we can catch up and talk about old times just like we used to. Love, Kim

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

In memory....

Dear Coffey Family,

While searching on the web for the email of my friend (Jason R. Coffey of AK) I came across your site and was overcome by the loss of this young man. I did not know him nor do I know you, but I see how many lives he touched and what an honorable and cherished individual he was. And he continues to touch lives, even of strangers like myself... I will keep you in my prayers and not forget his name.

God Bless,

Holland

Jason..Still thinking of you everyday... your truely missed.

I knew Jason for several years and my heart still aches two years after his death to know that he is gone from this earth. My prayers and best wishes go out to all of his family and friends and I just pray for peace for all of you. I know how much the loss affected me and I can't imagine what those closest to him must be feeling. I only hope that the prayers and thoughts of others are some comfort and know that he will never, ever be forgotten. God bless you all.

My Friend Jason,



Your are gone forever, but not never forgotten.



I've known Jason since we were little and we'd swin together at the Stewart Airbase Pool, his brother Dan was a life guard there. I remember Jay dunking me under the water and me screaming in laughter! I miss You, Jay. For awhile Jay and I didn't speak, until on day we started talking again, for about 2 years Jay and I found a bond, A friendship. He'd always tell me like it is, nothing but the truth. I miss you, Jay. On Sept 11 we lost many, but not one person could ever fill the shoes of Jason Coffey. Today, tomorrow and yesterday I will always think and miss my true friend Jason Coffey....



My god be with your family and give strength to those left behind. With love in my heart forever.....

Jay, it has been a year since the tragedy and I finally wanted to say goodbye. You were a good friend at Bryant and I will never forget the good times we had. I only wished that I had kept in touch after college. I am happy to have been your friend and I just wanted to let you know that you will be missed.



your friend,



dennis

Peace on your journey......

Well Jay I guess it is about time that I can say goodbye to you. I will never forget about the times in college. I really miss the way that you looked up to me as a big brother, I like to think that I steered you in the right direction. It definitely sounds like I did. I just wish that after I graduated that we could have still kept up our friendship, I never would have imagined that it would have ended this way. The day I saw your picture on Bryant's website really was, I guess something else, it is still hard to think about. I still remember all the stupid things that we did when we "had a few to drink". Memories that I thought wouldn't mean anything, well they do. I can't help but look back at everything and still laugh, it was a couple of really great years. I wish I met you before your sophmore year, you fit in perfectly with all of us. To your mom and finance, I wish all the best in your memories. If you ever want to share, I am here.



Jay take care of yourself,



Gmann

Coffey,



It's dfficult to fathom that you are gone. It has been 1 year since the last time many of us have seen you. The Alumni Ruggers are getting together once again this weekend, and I can assure you that you will be in the thoughts and hearts of everyone there.

Dear Coffey Family,

I am terrible sorry for your immeasurable loss. I can not even begin to imagine to what you have felt. Jay was a funny, kind, helpful and genuine. Jay and I were both freshman on the swim team together at SUNY Albany. We didn't always agree, but the memories I have make me smile. Strangely, in fact, I can attribute becoming an engineer to him in a strange convoluted sort of way. (I'll leave it at that...) I wish you all the best. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

It's hard to believe you have both been gone for six months now. No matter how much time goes by, the pain always stays there, as strong as ever. Jason, we grew up together and there is not one day that goes by that I regret that we lost touch...seperate lives and crossing paths once in a while. I will never forget you my friends..especially when I would come to the house rather late to pick up Kevin for a night out on the town and Dan would look at me over his glasses and say "Hello, David"..and that was it. I know you are both in a better place now...always in our hearts....eternal peace. God bless Kevin, Fran, Dan and the rest of the Coffey family and friends. Someday we will all be together again....

Coff,

Hard to believe that you are gone. You will be missed but NEVER forgotten. I think about our time together at Bryant and smile. You are forever in my heart...

Jason "Coffey, "Coff", a wonderful friend to many, you are always on my mind...my thoughts and memories of you will always be kept in my heart forever. i'll never forget you!

The senior Coffeys were my parents next door neighbors in Newburgh for over 40 years .God grant them peace and courage .

We are deeply sorry for your loss of Jason and Daniel. May their lives and love live on in those who love them. Our hearts cry with you.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

Being an accountant must run in the family. I am a Chartered Accountant in Canada (same as US CPA) and the qualities described in the bio's given are the same as those that run in my immediate family. The loss is enormous - I hope that both Jason and his dad have found peace.

DEAR GOD BLESS JASON MATTHEW COFFEY

AND MAY HE REST IN PEACE..GOD BLESS

HIS FAMILY...HIS FIANCE..AND HIS

FRIENDS...GOD BLESS HIS FATHER.GOD

BLESS AMERICA AND MAY WE NEVER FORGET 9/11/01

My heart goes out to you and your family. I hope it helps to know that others are still thinking of and praying for justice and for peace for you and your loved ones.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this heart-breaking time of your lives.



May God give you the strength and comfort to get through this tragedy.

Jason was a beautiful man inside and out. He was a wonderful friend who truly knew how to love those around him. My deepest sympothies go out to his family for their loss not only of a son, but of a father as well. Jason impacted those around him more than he could have ever known and his memory will always live in those who knew him.

I wish there were something I could say to ease your pain. Please know you are not alone- our prayers are with you, always.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God comfort you in your loss.

You are in my prayers and heart at this terrible time.

Again, I am profoundly saddened by your loss. I hope one day you can begin the healing process.

My deepest feelings of sympathy go out to you. I cannot begin to understand the suffering your family is going through. I live close by to Newburgh and have many friends and family members that commute into the city every day. Although I did not lose anyone close to me in this tragedy, I did feel the pain and suspense of waiting to hear that they were safe. I can only imagine never receiving that news. My heart is with you and your family. May you always cherish those memories you have of your loved ones. God Bless you.

Dear Coffey Family,

I cannot feel your pain. Is it

possible you have lost a father and

a son? I am sorry. I send my

deepest feelings of sympathy.

I have many connections with

New York. A sister who works near

the UN, and her husband who ran for

his life when the buildings collapsed on Sept. 11. He made it.

But in his words: I made it. But

so many others did not.

I grew up in New York and my

second cousins were Coffeys in

Long Island. They lived in Baldwin,

Long Island. When I saw your name,

I felt a connection. I am sure

we have an ancestral connection.

I may be far away in California,

but I send you my deepest feelings

of sympathy and sorrow. I feel

we are connected, distant family

who may not know each other but who

are connected by our names, and

this impossilby difficult time.

No one can feel your pain or help mitigate your great and senseless loss. As a mother and daughter, I can only tell you how sad I am. It appears that you have lost not one person but two - son and father??? The world mourns your loss. When I think of my parents who are now gone, I think of the good times we shared and know that they are still with me in spirit. May God bless you and your family. Sarah Devorah
