M. Jason Rice, 45, of Lakeview, OH, passed away unexpectedly, Saturday, September 24, 2022, after experiencing an asthma attack.
Jason was born October 14, 1976, to Teresa (Ron) Postle, and Don Rice, both of Lakeview.
Jason’s proudest title was ‘dad’ to his only son, Joseph, who was his entire world. To have witnessed their bond was truly amazing. Jason was the best and most overprotective brother to his two younger sisters, Mandy (Tim) Hart, and Whitney (Mike) Vasquez. The lives of his nieces, Payton and Hayden and nephews, Mikey, Keaton, Kohen and Liam will forever be changed without their favorite “Uncle JJ”. Jason is also survived by both of his grandfathers, Robert Houchins and Gene Rice, his aunt, Lori (George) Lones, and his uncles, Harry (Phyllis) Miller, Berry Miller, Jeff Houchins, and Bobby (Laura) Houchins, his stepbrothers, Chris Postle, DJ (Amanda) Postle, Dustin Postle and Greg Postle and so many cousins that loved him. It brings us all comfort knowing that he has been reunited with his grandma Charlotte Houchins, who we’re sure greeted him with his favorite cherry delight and his grandma Lula Rice, who surely had her famous tacos ready for him. His thirst for knowledge, handyman skills, orneriness and laughter will be missed by all who loved him.
Tara Cascioli will begin funeral services at 4 p.m., Sunday, October 2, at Shoffstall Funeral Home, 205 S. Main St., Lakeview with visitation from 2 to 4 pm.
Memorial contributions may be given to the Joseph Rice Scholarship Fund, c/o Osgood Bank, Lakeview.
Arrangements are in the care of Shoffstall Funeral Home, Lakeview, OH. Condolences may be expressed at shoffstallfuneralhome.com.
