Hello my name is Jason Lindel Cummings, I was the only child born to Lynda and Horace Cummings on
Friday, September 7, 1979 in Cleveland, Ohio. I was educated in the East Cleveland Public School
District, where I attended Shaw High School. I accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at
Calvary Church of God In Christ under the leadership of Elder Richard Brown. I later would be a
member at various churches throughout my teen years. As an adult I later joined FaithWorks Church
under the leadership of Pastor Mary L. Johnson who was not only my pastor but my spiritual mother
whom I truly loved. Also I served as a minister under her at FaithWorks. I loved my church family
and was very active in ministries. I loved the Lord and I hope it showed in everything I tried to
do, that was my prayer. I was self-employed as a barber, working at the First Draft Pick Barber
Shop. Cutting hair was not a profession for me, it was a ministry to me, and I started cutting hair
at a very young age in my mother's kitchen. This was something that I really liked to do. I work at
various jobs before I met the love of my life, her name is Crystal, we met in June of 2004 and we
were later united in holy matrimony on July 7, 2007. I considered myself as a pretty happy,
outgoing, and personable person if I had to describe myself. I was always told that I was like
my mother. We never met a stranger; a stranger was just a friend we had not met yet. My prayer is
that during my life that I did something to please my heavenly Father. It is my hope through Christ
Jesus that everything, and in every way that I lived my life that God got the glory. I really loved
the Lord and I know that he loved me. Now into the loving arms of Jesus I commend my loved ones
that I leave behind. They are left to morn my loss and cherish my memory under the loving care of
Jesus. I leave my loving wife, Crystal, my praying mother and spiritual teacher, Lynn Cummings, my
father Horace Cummings, all of Cleveland, Ohio ,my sisters Crystal and Carmen Henderson of
California, my sister Veronica Butler Cummings-Jackson (Michael) ,my sweet little baby sister
Morganne Lynn Cummings, my dearly beloved grandparents Loretta Jenkins, Burchett Green, and Laura M.
White, my half-sister, Mariel Michelle LeSure ,my half-brother's, Nathaniel Carter Henderson and
Nemon Hobbs and Jerrel (who preceded me in death), my dear mother-in-law, Beverly Gray, my
brothers-in-law, Sean Spencer and Larry Gray my precious god-parents, all of my god-sisters and
brothers ,and my special Mom, affectionately called Mom B, all of my uncles, aunts, cousin and a
host of other relatives and friends. This account of my life was humbly written and submitted, by
my Family who I truly loved.

Listen My Dearest My Family

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say
But first of all I want to let you all know that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven, Here I dwell with God above
Here, there are no more tears of sadness, here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and He said," I welcome you"

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone,
As for your dearest family, they'll be here be here later on.

I need you here badly; you're part of my plan,
There's so much that we have to do, to help other mortal man

God gave me a list of things that He wished for me to do
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for all of you

And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores done your very best
Know that God and I closest to you..... As you get your rest

Now you're dealing with my leaving you has cause you quite a fight
But I want you to know that when the fight is the hardest, God has taken on your plight

When you think of my life on earth, and all there those loving years
Because you are only human, I know that they will cause you many tears

But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was not some rain

I wish that I could tell you all the things about the day I left and why God had that planned
But if I were to try to tell you, I am not sure you would understand

But one thing I can tell you that even though my life on earth is over,
I am closer to you now, I am right there looking over your shoulder

There are many rocky roads ahead of you, and many hills to climb,
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too......
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and in pain,
Then you can say to God at night....My day was not in vain

Now I feel that my I am contented... that my life has been worthwhile,
Knowing surely as I passed along the way, I made my loved one's smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go

When you are walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps only a half a step behind

And when it's time for you to go...From that body to be free,
Remember you're not going; you're coming here to be with me.
