Poetic Obituaries: [Jason Beland] had a longstanding relationship

with books and language and put pen to paper himself in the form of stories, poems and lyrics to songs. He further expressed himself through music by playing the drums and guitar, and singing with other local musicians. He was a cook who loved to accessorize his main ingredients with herbs and spices that produced a delicious meal that even he, occasionally, could not replicate. Later in his young life, Jason developed an affinity and skill for horticulture.
