Jason Robert Long (J-Lo) of Lindon, Utah, previously of Alpine, Utah passed away due to complications from Leukemia treatment. He passed into the Spirit World quietly surrounded by family.

Jason was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Leukemia in August of 2006 while serving an LDS mission in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. He returned home to receive quality treatment through the Huntsman Cancer Hospital.

Jason was a 2005 graduate of Lone Peak High School where he was the captain of the football team and track team and was an all-state defensive back. Upon his return from his mission (and recovery from cancer) he was slated to play football at BYU.

Jason loved people and animals. He was highly regarded by those whom he associated with. During his remission he coached football at Lone Peak, did volunteer work for ARUP and took BYU internet courses.

In his final words he wanted to express his gratitude to all those who assisted in his care or prayed for him.

He is survived by his mother and father Sheri and Kevin Long, brothers Jeremy, Joshua, Jordan, and Adam; sisters Anna, Alena, Jeanelle, and Joleah; Sister-in-law Crystal, FiancŽ and high school sweetheart Paige Palmer and best friend Elder Ryan Comer; nephew Jayden, neice Kjersti, Grandparents George and Norma Long and Bonnie and Jerry Holman; Aunt Sandra Holman, uncle and aunts Jim and Linda Bossenecker, Jerry and Jill Long, and eight cousins. His uncle Michael Robert Long preceded him in death.
