- I was so sorry to hear the sad news of Jason's passing. I have so many fond memories of him. Living next door, I had the pleasure of watching him grow up ~ from an adorable curly-headed little boy to a handsome young man ~ we all loved Jason. I really enjoyed seeing all the pictures of him and his beautiful family. May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the Tinsley family. Love, Linda (aka "Bettie") Linda Creighton (Molin)
- Thank you for being here with us at this memorial service. I am one of Jasons 3 sisters. Along with our 2 other brothers, we ranged from age 11 to 21 when Jason was born. At that time, Kathy was studying hard at Ferris State. Trenton’s High School was in half day sessions. As a senior, my classes were in the mornings and Leslie and Barry attended afternoon sessions. Scott was thriving in 5th grade. Dad worked an early morning shift and Mom worked afternoons. I may have had a closeness to Jason due to the fact that as a senior I was home by noon and therefore designated by Dad to accompany Mom on her shopping trips and running errands throughout her pregnancy. On the morning Jason was born, I took Mom to the hospital. It was a rare occasion that I got to drive the car. Dad arrived shortly after we got there and directed me to go to school, but not until I took the car home and I had to walk to school. We were all proud to have a baby brother. I’d like to share with you why I feel that Jason was motivated by pride throughout his life. With 5 doting siblings, our parents and Grandma and Grandpa Klupacs, he was showered with praise for every accomplishment. He was very proud of himself when he went to cheerleading practice at Trenton High School as an adorable toddler and when he was wrestling around the house with his brothers and their friends. He loved the attention! He developed a need for speed while helping Mom around the house. She would play ‘beat the clock’ with him as encouragement in helping with chores or picking up his toys. As many of you can recall, he continued to move rapidly throughout his life. Jason developed a love of the outdoors through time and activities spent with Dad. Going out on the boat swimming and fishing and later on hunting were his favorites Dad was a very patient man and I could see Jason beginning to develop some of that patience. Jasons pride was demonstrated in his appearance. When he came to a gathering and received a compliment from Mom, or any of us – he would beem! Jason was proud to bear the name Tinsley. When he was working at Riverside Hospital, he would go to visit any family friends or relatives that might be there. He was proud to introduce himself and to offer his assistance. One of our Tinsley cousins told us how much her elderly mother appreciated seeing Jason whenever she was there. He also showed this pride to other employees, offering physical assistance to push, pull, lift or carry anything needed. Receiving acknowledgement or thanks for these actions enhanced his pride in himself. Jason was every bit a ‘people person’, very social outwardly- but also very private. He loved to work and was proud of how many shifts he would cover, both at the hospital and into his employment at the airport. Jason had many holiday functions cut short or missed altogether when he worked overtime to cover extra shifts. This was something he was proud to do. You knew that by the dollar signs in his eyes! Mike and I were very surprised when we returned from a trip, and on our way home from picking us up at the airport, Jason stopped at the elementary school to pick up the son of a friend. We learned that this friend was also his neighbor, a beautiful woman, Alejandra. She became a great source of pride to this 40 year old bachelor. He shared a love like he had never known, which included Ethan. Jason was proud to be part of this family that was developing. His pride and love grew even more with the birth of Sofia. As the video here shows, he also loved to travel. He was very proud of the beautiful wedding and dinner they planned in Las Vegas. We all share great memories of that trip. As a family, they enjoyed trips to Mexico, Aruba and Disney World and again back to Las Vegas. A great source of pride to him was seeing Sofia learn to swim. She thoroughly enjoyed her pool time at Mandalay Bay and the helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon. I believe Jason is now experiencing great pride knowing that his plans for this beautiful service have come together so well to embrace his family with the love of all of us. Sisters and Brothers

- I had the pleasure of getting to know Jason while I was employed at Wayne County Airport Authority. Jason is a kind and caring person who was crazy in love with his wife and beautiful daughter as well as his family. Yes, I speak in the present because he is still here in spirit. I remember when he told me he was about to become a father. Nothing but joy and pleasure in his eyes. There is mention in the scripture from Psalm 30:5 King James Version (KJV) "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." To the family: Whenever you feel there is no joy, cherish all the good times and hold on to those memories and the good times. God will give you joy and peace in due time and guarantees He will be with until the end of times." There will be a day of rejoicing when all of us are united with our loved ones and what a day that will be. To be absent from the body is to be present with Christ. My prayers for all of you will continually be in my mouth. God bless you all!!! Yvonne Darden

- It's difficult to know what to say. The loss of a brother, son, father, in the midst of his life. No words will bring comfort or peace in this time of pain and loss. What I do know is, I have seen the love in this family. The banding together in difficult times, the celebrations that bring you all together with laughter and joy. That strong of love is built over a lifetime of being together and will see you all through this difficult time. There is no doubt that you will all be there for each other. I am so very sorry for your loss. Cindy Horning
