IN MEMORY OF MY FIRST BORN SON JASON RAPP

Es tut mir sehr leid, von deinem Verlust zu hören. So jung!
Ich wünsche Dir viel Kraft in den nächsten Tagen.

Wirklich tragisch, mein Beileid, sehr schön zusammengestelltes Album.

Otto. I can't even find the words. The idea of losing a son is unfathomable to me. My condolences to you and your family. He was clearly a wonderful and talented person, just like his dad.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, it must be so painful for you not to be there with him in his final journey

Mein aufrichtiges Beileid.

So sorry to hear your news. May he rest in piece and his music live on.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. As a father myself, I can't even begin to imagine the pain you must be going through. My condolences.

Thank you everyone for your comments!

Since then I received more photos from after the service from Jason's sister Tasha. Also Trista promised to send me a copy of the live stream soon.
Once I have all the additional info gathered, I will post a update.
My young son Otti, Jason's half brother, attended the services, and he is seen here on this group photo in the middle, to the right (his left) Jason's daughter Trista and son Sebastian, far left their mother Clair. Sebastian and Otti are almost the same age, only a couple of months apart, but Otti is their uncle!

Ohhh dear @thermoplastic I am so so sorry, truly no parents should have to bury their children.

My deepest condolences my dearest, please be strong♥️

sending maximum love, having lost a son there are no words, just know you are not alone.

Otto, I'm writing this comment listening to the Solo Keys track. He was a great musician! I am sad to learn someone you love dearly is gone. I don't know you well but I hope your heart heals. Don't be afraid to reach out for help from those you trust if you need it.

Additional Information regarding the band my son Jason belonged to - whatever you find on the web is mostly outdated, but this bio shows how the band started:

https://www.bandmine.com/wormbox

Wormbox formed in early 2004 in Calgary, Alberta, when brothers Mark and Rick Fiset answered a musicians wanted ad and met two longtime friends James Jameson and Jay Rapp. Musically, things came together very quickly while the search for the right vocalist continued. After a few months and many auditions, Alex Liddy entered the picture and the puzzle was complete.
Rather than rushing out to play shows as soon as they were able, the decision was made to hold off and make sure they were as happy as they could possibly be with the performance of the songs, as well as have more to offer to people on top of well rehearsed, well crafted songs. With a demo recorded, an extensive line of merchandise, and as much of a stage and light show as they could muster - since most local clubs seemed to be lacking in that area - they decided it was time to take it to the people, and they did it with a vengeance.
The shows got better and better, they received great reviews locally and abroad, and a fan base that continued to grow stronger. Wormbox captured the attention of Cyclone records shortly after their first couple months of playing live and they proved to be a very helpful ally and spread the news far and wide that Wormbox was a band to watch out for. Cyclone records offered their services to do a digital only re-release of the self titled "Wormbox" demo which was named one of the top ten Canadian metal releases of 2005 by metal net radio's Dr. Steel. Not bad for a CD that was only meant to land in the hands of promoters in order to start booking some local shows.
"The Greatest Underground Show On Earth" which was a compilation CD of metal bands hailing from the city of Calgary, was also released by Cyclone records and featured another track by Wormbox, "Hate Therapy," which also garnered more great reviews and public awareness for the band.
March of 2007 Wormbox entered Monster Music Studios and emerged two and a half months later with a new full length CD entitled "The Judas Chair" which was engineered, mixed and mastered by Rodger Sallans. On a side note, all of the CD artwork, as with all Wormbox promotional material from day one, was illustrated and designed by members of the band. The CD was released to the public on May 25, 2007 and Wormbox is currently in the process of playing shows and promoting The Judas Chair to bring it to the public eye.
In September of 2007 Wormbox was chosen as the only Canadian metal band to perform at Locofest 2007. The open air festival which took place just outside of Boston, Massachucetts and featured headliners HEAVEN & HELL (Black Sabbath with Dio), ALICE COOPER, QUEENSRYCHE and SHADOWS FALL was definitely a dream come true for the 5 dudes from Calgary, and the experience of a lifetime.
In February 2008 Cyclone Records released their second compilation of Calgary Metal - "The Greatest Underground Show On Earth - Vol. 2" which features the Wormbox track Harbor The Curse. The same track also appears on the As We Storm Canada compilation, as well as the Fateless Empire compilation. Harbor The Curse was also featured on Revolver magazine's meet & greet page at revolvermag.com and Wormbox also appeared in 2 issues of the magazine in early 2009.
Currently Wormbox is in the process of writing the follow-up to The Judas Chair, the new material thus far is once again a step up in the evolution of the band.
Wormbox has earned a reputation of having the best live show in the Calgary area and they continue to strive to improve that with each performance, standing firmly in their belief that "Every stage deserves to be treated as a stage.especially yours!"
