Jason Wood,

54

Heaven gained a special angel on Sept. 12, 2019. Jason was the only son of William M. Wood and Judy Sanderson Wood. He was born on Jan. 22, 1965, in Billings, Mont., and completed his schooling by graduating from Billings Senior High. He moved to Missoula, Mont., where he completed electronics school and then went on to work for Keytronics. He also had a degree in communications from North Idaho College in Coeur d’Alene.

For years he had suffered with asthma, and in 2017 was diagnosed with Alpha-1; a serious genetic lung condition. It ultimately took his life on Sept. 12, 2019, at the young age of 54. Jason was a people person and loved to learn and share his knowledge with others. He was such an intelligent and loving young man who had so much to offer.

Jason loved to cook with his children, Logan and Kaylee. Many tasty recipes came out of his kitchen. His apple pie was the best! Video games were a must with Logan, and watching movies with his children was a favorite pastime. To his children, he was simply the “best dad in the world!” He also enjoyed trivia games and the show ‘Survivor.’

His survivors include his devoted mother, Judy Wood; children, Logan (age 16) and Kaylee (age 14), Margaret Wood (the mother of his children), aunts Sue Sanderson and Carole Hansen; uncle, Steve and aunt, Barb Kvapil and several cousins, nieces and nephews, and his faithful rescue dog, Petey, who was always by his side. He was preceded in death by his father, William Wood; his grandparents, both on his mother’s side of the family and his father’s side, and uncle, Jerry Sanderson.

He was a man who loved his family, God, his country, his friends and his dog. Our hearts are broken and we live for the day when we can meet again.

“Goodnight sweet prince, love you always and forever.” — Mom.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Please visit Jason’s online memorial at belltowerfuneralhome.com.
