Jason, a dedicated paramedic with 25 years of service, was involved in a horrific act of violence last week in Thompson, PA. He was shot at, wrecked his QRV, and suffered injuries while bravely trying to save others. His selflessness and commitment to helping others have inspired countless people over the years.

A Career Built on Sacrifice

Throughout his career, Jason has consistently put the lives of others before his own, often without protection. Now he faces a long and challenging recovery, not only physically but also mentally. His family is rallying around him and is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support they are receiving.

Service That Reaches Beyond One Community

Jason’s dedication extends far beyond his local community. He also serves as a paramedic in the city, where his absence will be felt just as strongly. As one of his former colleagues put it,That’s Jason, steady hands, steady heart, always there for his team and community.” Now it is time for others to be there for him.

The Power of Community Support

The Larsen family has been touched by the overwhelming kindness from friends, colleagues, and neighbors. They appreciate the thoughts, prayers, and encouragement being shared during this difficult time and remain hopeful for Jason’s full and speedy recovery.
