“My sincerest condolences for your loss. It was my pleasure to have Jason as a student in two my graduate courses at Kent State University. He was a brilliant young scholar that approached the study of the past with seriousness and sensitivity. We were fortunate to have had him as a member of our community in the Department of History and he will be missed. - Matthew J. Crawford”

“I knew Jason when I visited his presentation about his research. His presentation was excellent...I was thinking, oh, he would be a great scholar and educator soon. The next time I met him was when we held a session about preparing comps. He joined this event and gave me and my cohorts a lot of good advice and encouragement..... I/we will miss him. Yunhe Wu”

Jason Kelty wrote a sympathy message

“I went to high school with Jason and he was always an extremely kind person to everyone I ever saw him interact with. We had some classes together and he was smart and engaged and I truly appreciated having him as a classmate. I didn't know he'd gone on to earn a PhD, but I wasn't surprised to find that was the case. Unfortunately, I had not spoken with Jason since high school, but still I am very sorry to hear of his passing and will send prayers for his family and friends.”
