Jason was born March 28, 1996, at Ardmore to Renee (Slawson) Bethea and the late Mr. Jason Lee Bethea. He departed this life on Wednesday, August 30, 2023, in Woodward, OK.

Jason began school at Zaneis then Wilson until the family began moving around which led to him attending a few different schools.  He played baseball, ran track and field, was active in band, FFA, and showing goats, attended VoTech for business development and then for carpentry.  Jason finished out his High School attendance at Vici High School in Vici, OK with the class of 2016. Before graduating, he became a father to a beautiful baby girl, Irene. Jason was a hard worker, from working with his dad welding to working in construction at  White's Construction where he has been for the last 2 years. He was an artist of many talents from woodworking to drawing. Jason loved to build things, doing things outdoors like camping, fishing, riding dirt bikes, kayaking, skateboarding, and he had an amazing green thumb that could grow anything. Although Jason lacked in coordination, he was fearless and would try anything at least once.   He was very interested in educating people on random facts, he would always start off with "Did you know...?"  Jason recently learned he was going to be a daddy again to another baby girl, Jaye Marie Bethea.
