Jason Brent Littlefield
Our Son, Brother, Uncle, Nephew, Cousin and Friend passed away February 15, 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona at the age of 47.
Jason Brent (JB) was born on July 4th, 1976. He loved this and grew up thinking everyone celebrated his birthday with fireworks. As a bicentennial baby, he loved America, the American flag, and songs about America. He went to St. Joseph’s Catholic Elementary and High School in Ogden, Utah from kindergarten to his freshman year of high school. He transferred to Judge Memorial High School, SLC, Utah in 1991 to play football. He graduated from Judge in 1994. Jason loved football. From high school he went to Ohio Wesleyan University to play football. He later came back to Utah due to too many concussions. Because football was his passion, he decided to play arena ball in Salt Lake City with the Utah Blaze. Again, this didn’t last long due to concussions. Jason moved from football to bodybuilding. He worked as a personal trainer for 24 Hour Fitness. He enjoyed the physique of the human body. He loved teaching others how to connect their body, mind and spirit. He entered a couple bodybuilding competitions but decided it wasn’t for him. Jason moved from SLC, Utah to Phoenix, Arizona in 2001.He worked as a personal trainer and caregiver to a gentleman named Carl for many years. In Arizona, he did not find the success he had in Utah. He struggled for many years to find his place. Jason loved football, wrestling, music, karaoke, playing the drums (like his Dad), playing the guitar, Guitar Hero, camping, numbers (numerology), and colors (except purple), and being with friends and family. One thing that never left Jason was his kindness. He had an open heart for many. He was brilliant beyond his years. At the end of his life, he shared information to which only few could connect to spiritually. This again was part of his brilliance. Jason was a gift in many ways. He taught us the biggest lesson of unconditional love.
Jason is survived by his parents, Marina Feise, Brent Littlefield (Marion), sisters Lisa Motto, Angie Tessmer (Terry), and three nieces Sophie, Ali, and Amara and two nephews Kyle and Joel. He is preceded in death by his grandparents Orvis and Amelia (Barbara) Allred, Wilberta (Billy) Hunter.
A celebration of life will be on Friday, March 1, 2024 from 6 -8 PM at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Millcreek. We request bright clothing be worn, as Jason was a gift to us. Towards the end an open mic to share stories will be available.
Funeral Mass will be celebrated in his honor on Saturday, March 2, at 11 am at St. Vincent’s Catholic Church, 1375 Spring Ln, Holladay. His Uncle, Father Norman Allred, is flying in from Ireland to officiate. He will be laid to rest following mass at Mount Calvary Catholic Cemetery, 275 U St, Salt Lake City.
Special thanks to all who loved him throughout his life, especially his St. Joe Crew and AJ. Also thank you to Starks Funeral Parlor, St. Vincent Catholic Church and Mount Calvary Catholic Cemetery for assisting our family during this difficult time.
In lieu of flowers, we ask donations be made in his name to Brain Injury Alliance of Utah or any organization supporting Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Throughout his life, Jason (JB) had over 15 concussions that we know of, plus a fractured skull.
