Jason John Findley, 49, passed away suddenly at his home on January 7, 2026.
He was born March 21, 1976 in Fort Scott, Kansas to John and Connie Findley. He grew into a man of integrity, with a love for life and family.
He attended Fort Scott schools and was a proud member of the Class of 1994. He was self-employed. As soon as he was old enough to walk, his mom sent him to work at Findley Automotive with his dad. Jason and Adina expanded the business to include auto body work, Findley Auto & Body in 2014.
On November 11, 2006, Jason married the love of his life, Adina (Johnston), in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. For 19 years, they built a life together as devoted partners in marriage, family, and business, rarely apart and always side by side, sharing a life filled with love, laughter, hard work, and countless memories.
He was a wonderful father to Aliyah, Maggie, Riley, and Jake. That father’s love extended to his son-in-law Quinton. He was the dad who showed up. He loved hard and was so very proud of each of them.
Jason was a proud grandpa to Everlee and embraced the role with pure joy. He never missed an opportunity to be with her, never said no to her requests, and loved spoiling her with all the things her parents said no to. He was greatly looking forward to the arrival of another grandchild in April.
He was a good son, brother, and friend. He was a true friend to many and a stranger to no one. He always had a story, loved talking with people, and had a wonderful sense of humor. He enjoyed Nascar, the Chiefs, motorcycles, camping, lake fun, doing stunts in cars, swap meets, food, and laughed loudly. He loved God. He supported many community organizations. He could always be found with one or more rottweilers by his side. He was a member of the Fort Scott Nazarene Church.
Jason is survived by his wife Adina of the home, Aliyah Findley (Seattle, Washington), Maggie & Quinton Parsons, grandaughter Everlee (Pittsburg, KS), Riley Findley and Jake Findley of the home, his mother Connie Findley; siblings Suzanne (Allen) Griffin, Gina (Travis) Shelton, and Debi (Daniel) Fritter, many nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family. He was preceded in death by his father John Findley and infant brother Wesley.
