Jason Allen Johnston, 37, of Newport News, died on May 31, 2022. Born November 20, 1984, Jason was the son of Sheri Ross Stall and Steven Kyle Johnston. He was predeceased by his father and maternal grandfather, Jim Ross. Following in the footsteps of his father and maternal great-grandfather Merle "Pappy" Ross, Jason was an expert welder who took great pride in his work. He could fix just about anything with a motor and build anything with tools passed down from his father and grandfathers, extending a family legacy of proud work with your own hands. Jason was an avid hunter and fisherman who cherished fishing with his son. Jason was a devoted husband of 15 years to Tasha Johnston and the proud father of son Brady and daughter Aubree. Jason enjoyed coaching Brady's Little League teams and watching him play travel and high school baseball. Jason looked forward to introducing Aubree to ball sports. Jason was a loving grandson to Pete and Joan Johnston and helped care for Joan as her health declined. Jason had a great sense of humor (which he often inflicted on his mother, Sheri), a trait he passed on to son Brady. In addition to his wife, children and mother (Dave Stall), Jason is survived by brother Nate Johnston; grandparents Anna Ross, Pete and Joan Johnston, and Peg Burt; in-laws Mark and Penny Jeffries; aunts Robyn Burnette, Renee Allen (Michael), and Diana Spencer (Tracy); uncles Mike Johnston (Donna) and David Johnston (Kelly); brothers-in-law AJ Jeffries (Angela) and Mitchell Jeffries (Hannah); two nieces and two nephews, numerous cousins, and extended family; all of whom loved Jason dearly. A memorial service will be held at 1 pm on June 5 at Trinity Lutheran Church, 6807 Huntington Ave., Newport News. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you be grateful for, love, be good to, and appreciate your own family, and live your life to the fullest.
