Jason Allan Mealhouse

Jason "Jay" Allan Mealhouse, 49, of Fridley passed away unexpectedly March 18, 2021. He was preceded in death by his father, David Mealhouse. Survived by daughter Danielle (Ryan), mother Maryjo Smith (Roy), brother Christopher; grandmother Betty Mealhouse; and many cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. Through hunting, fishing, and hiking, Jay was a lover of all things outdoors. Jay spent countless hours as a child enjoying these things with his dad and brother, Chris. Jay and Chris would continue this love throughout their lives. He then shared this passion with his daughter Danielle as soon as she could walk, teaching her to fish and hunt, and taking her on trips to Mount Rushmore and other National Parks. Jay also had a keen eye for art and used his talent in creating tattoos for himself and friends. Though Jay struggled with inner demons for a great deal of his life, his heart could not have been larger. He spent time creating artwork for friends and family, and holding onto many sentimental items to keep those happy memories close to him. If you are struggling with your own inner demons, please remember how loved you are and how much those around you want to help. A memorial for Jason will be held on Sunday, March 28, 2021 from 1-4pm at Choice Cremation (7398 University Ave NE, Fridley, MN 55432)
