He was born on November 7, 1971 in Lafayette, IN to Ted and Jean (Jennings) Howard. Jason was a 1990 graduate of Delphi Community High School. Always interested in agriculture, he was awarded the highest national honor of American Farmer from the FFA. After graduation from high school, he attended Purdue University. Jason married Nicole Hicks of Flora on September 14, 1996. They later divorced. Jason was a self- employed hog farmer for over 20 years. He then went to work for Tate and Lyle where he was currently employed. Jason was a hard worker and gave everything to any endeavor.
Jason was passionate about Purdue sports. He was watching a Purdue football game on his phone in the ICU and reminding family to record all the games. He had a special interest in antiques, particularly signs and gas pumps. Above all, he cherished his children, his home and his dogs. He often said he would rather hang out with his friends and family at the Howard Hotel and Resort than travel for any vacation.
