Jason Lee Ragsdale

Jason Lee Ragsdale, 36, passed away Sunday, June 21, 2015, as a result of injuries sustained from an accident. Jason, also known as “Bo”, was born May 3, 1979, in Norman, OK, and was a lifelong resident of Fort Gibson. He worked in construction after attending Fort Gibson High School. Jason had many titles; son, grandson, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, and friend. He enjoyed sports and nature. He was competitive and compassionate. He had a soft heart protected by his tough spirit. Jason loved working with his hands and he had many carpentry skills. He could also draw very well and do many crafts by hand such as dream catchers and beadwork among many more. Jason being Cherokee and very proud of his native heritage, reflected in his artwork and his daily life. He loved a good Pow wow or spending a lazy day with his family and friends. Money or material things were not his treasures. Jason was “real”, he was tough, but also loving. He was a hard worker and independent. His smile was contagious and can be seen on all his children’s faces. We hope that you carry his smile with you and smile back for he is not here, he has been set free.
