Jason Membridge
41, Bass Lake

Jason Membridge, 41, of Bass Lake, died unexpectedly — and quite convincingly — a few days ago.

J.M., as he was nicknamed by nobody, had been described as good person, albeit sometimes oft-misunderstood.

Jason was acquainted with several NASCAR fanatics, although he himself despised the sport, but rarely came out and said it.

He, Jason, was an avid music-lover who preferred Pearl Jam over Nirvana, for anyone out there keeping score at home.

Surviving are an ex-wife; 2.5 close friends; and a 9-year-old cat, Hairball Dot-org.

Preceding him in death were people who died prior to his passing, too numerous to mention.

Services and burial are pending. Visitation is “possibly a waste of time,” according to a funeral director who asked to remain anonymous.
