Archive for Jeff Hasara

Jeff Hasara passed away on Monday, August 16, 2010, at the age of 16 from Osteosarcoma, a bone cancer.

Jeff and his parents are friends with Rush Limbaugh. Jeff’s mom sent me a link to Rush’s broadcast about Jeff and his family.  It is really a wonderful tribute titled “Our Prayers for the Hasara Family”.

One of the photos I did of Jeff is on the blog post. That is pretty cool too!

From the Gazette Obituary information about Jeff: Jeffrey was born November 24, 1993 in Okinawa, Japan, the son of Mark and Valerie Hill Hasara. He was a sophomore at Linn-Mar High School. He loved longboarding, surfing by the ocean and being with his friends. Jeffrey was tenderhearted and was more interested in helping his friends than doing his school work. He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he was active in his church and a strong believer in his God. Jeffrey was also active in Boy Scouts. His favorite thing was spending time with his family. He was a great friend and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

As part of a recent fund raiser that Hu Hot (Jeff’s favorite restaurant) did, I donated the use of an image and graphics. If you are inclined to assist in any way, Jeff’s blog is http://pullingforjeff.wordpress.com/ there are some great surfing images of him on it too.
