Boomerang has passed

Post by Hotdog »

It is with great sadness I must pass along that Hab1 forum member "Boomerang" passed away today after battling some health issues. Jason attended multiple Space Camp and Aviation Challenge programs in the 1990's-2000's which earned him the callsign "Boomerang" for having came back so many times. He was later a crew trainer at AC, and was among the first to envision a Space Camp Alumni organization years before it would actually become a thing. He loved Space Camp as much as any of us, and I know we will miss his posts here on Hab1.

Here is a photo of Jason and I with the Pathfinder taken during the Space Camp 30th Anniversary weekend.

I haven't been here in a while (student life and new job) so I am late to find out. I'm deeply saddened to hear this. He was one of my camp teammates and a friend for some time. He even snuck me into camp one day when he worked in admin. He will be dearly missed. :cry:

Godspeed, Boomerang.
