TURNER, Jason Turner
June 8, 1981 - October 13, 2025
Passed away peacefully on October 13, 2025, in his hometown of Tillsonburg, ON, at the age of 44. Born on June 8, 1981, to Don and Judy Turner, Jason’s early years in Straffordville were filled with the warmth of a close-knit community and the deep bonds of family.
Jason was a loving and devoted husband to his beloved wife, Christine Belyea, and a loving father to their three children, Luke, Gavin, and Isabelle. His role as a family man was paramount, and he cherished every moment spent with his loved ones. Jason was the beloved son of Don and Judy Turner, a role he took to heart, always ensuring his parents were enveloped in the same love and care he had received growing up. He was also a caring brother to Donnie (Brenda) and held the memory of his late sister Heidi Turner close to his heart.
As a son-in-law to Randy and Jeannie Belyea, Jason was more than just a relative; he was a dear friend and confidant. His bond with his brother-in-law Justin and sister-in-law Keri was marked by mutual respect and camaraderie. Jason’s playful spirit made him a favorite uncle to Tyler Lammers, Amelia Turner, Tristan, Bailey, Brynn, and Colton Belyea, who will miss his joyous presence and the adventures they shared.
Professionally, Jason was a dedicated employee at Inovata, where his work ethic and free spirit made him a valued team member.
An avid kayaker, Jason found solace and joy on the water. His love for the great outdoors was evident in the way his eyes lit up whenever he spoke about his latest adventures. Music, too, played a significant role in Jason’s life; he enjoyed playing the guitar, often serenading his family and friends with melodies.
Jason will be remembered for his honest, kind, thoughtful, generous and loving demeanor. His presence was a source of comfort and happiness to those around him. He approached life with an open heart, always willing to lend a hand or share a moment of laughter. Jason’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and the enduring impact of simple acts of kindness.
As we bid farewell to Jason, we do so with gratitude for the time we were privileged to share with him. His spirit will continue to guide and inspire us, and his memory will be treasured in the hearts of all who knew him. Jason Daniel Turner’s life was a testament to the beauty of a short life but well-lived. Filled with love, kindness, and the joy of everyday moments. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
