Jason Anthony Shellaway, 40, of Gilbertsville, passed away on Friday, October 23, 2015 in his home.
Known to most as “Daddy”, Jason leaves behind a rich legacy of laughter and love. Never one to miss a fun time, he collected many affectionate friends and admirers throughout his life. With his charismatic nature and benevolent heart he was a rare find. He spent his free time taking it easy with family and friends, providing unsolicited advice to Philadelphia sports teams, cooking up incredible BBQ with his competition barbeque team the “Napkin Killers” and playing in a golf league at Twin Ponds Golf Course. He will be affectionately remembered by many as “one of the best”.
