Jason David Crook

Jason David Crook, 36, of Auburn, Nebraska formerly of Humboldt was born June 26, 1980 in Humboldt, Nebraska to David G. and Nancy J. (Workman) Crook.  Jason grew up on the family dairy farm south of Humboldt where he enjoyed watching the daily activities of living on a farm.  As part of the Brown County Special Education Co-op, Jason attended elementary school in Robison, Kansas.  He later graduated from Hiawatha High School in Hiawatha, Kansas with the class of 2000.  In September of 2002, Jason moved to a SENDS group home in Auburn, Nebraska.

Jason was a life-long member of the Humboldt Christian Church.  He enjoyed being outdoors and listening to music.  Jason was a big Nebraska Huskers fan, especially watching the lady Husker volleyball matches on television.  Jason took great delight in spending time with his family, especially his two nieces.  His heart was filled with love and compassion and that was displayed by his infectious smile that deeply touched everyone around him.  If one were to look into Jason’s big, brown eyes, one would surely see the love of God.  He could speak volumes with his eyes, with no words needed.  Jason was truely a child of God, for we know that Jesus was in his heart.

Jason passed away on Sunday, September 11, 2016, at his home in Auburn, Nebraska having reached the age of thirty-six years, two months, and sixteen days.  He was preceded in death by his grandparents: Glenwin and Geneva Crook and Duane and Mary Ann Workman.
