Jason Charles Skow's Obituary
Jason Charles Skow
September 5, 1984 - June 2, 2024
Jason Charles Skow, beloved son, father to Hudson and Declan, brother, Marine, friend, mentor, and leader to those around him passed on Sunday, June 2, 2024. Jason loved his family fiercely, took life for all it would give him, and made the room around him a more joyous, fun, and interesting place to be. Jason served in the United States Marines Corps for 15 years. In that time he achieved the great accomplishment of also serving for MARSOC, the Marine Forces Special Operations Command. Jason stared back at challenges with a passion and a "bring it on" spirit. He was known by his Marine brothers as "Skow Daddy", a grunt's grunt, and a natural leader. They described him as a friend and leader that made all situations better by being there. Recently Jason also made the great accomplishment of transitioning from the Marines and working for Johnson Controls as a Project Manager.
Jason is survived by his parents, James Skow, Joanne Skow, and Cathy Skow (wife of James), by his sons Hudson Skow and Declan Skow, his brother and sister, Justin Skow and Jenny Skow, and many other loved ones, Marine brothers, and friends he loved so very much. A Memorial will be held in Jason's memory in Decatur, IL. More details can be found on the website for Graceland-Fairlawn Funeral Home.
We believe Jason is in heaven, where he will continue on to be a warrior and Angel for God (when he's not busy fishing in the most beautiful lakes, rivers, and oceans). Jason was our personal hero. His spirit will be carried on in the hearts and souls of those who love him. Til Valhalla, we love you Jason.
