Celebration of Life next Saturday for Jason Grube, 1977-2025

| Obituaries | West Seattle news

Family and friends of former longtime West Seattleite Jason Grube will gather next Saturday (September 6) tp remember him and celebrate his life. Here’s the remembrance and invitation, they’re sharing:

On Monday, August 4th, we lost Jason Grube.

He was a devoted husband to Shannon, and a loving father to Monty (17), Wolfy (14), and Everest (9). He died in a sudden and tragic bicycle accident at just 48 years old.

Jason was so many things to so many people. He was kind. He was loving. He was creative. And he was generous. He was also wise. And funny. He was curious and he was spiritual, embracing beauty and possibility. He was all of these things and more. But to those who knew him best, he is simply irreplaceable.

A recent journal entry from Jason included the following quote: “Every candle is lit by another flame.” He was so often the other flame, bringing light to our lives, right when we needed it the most.

Now, this is our turn to return the light and the love we have been given. We are raising funds to support Shannon and the boys. Your donations will help cover funeral expenses, household needs, and provide stability as they adjust to life without Jason’s steady presence. Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for your memories. Thank you for sharing.

Jason Grube’s memorial service and celebration of life (after party) will be held on September 6, 2025, just north of Seattle.

Memorial Service:
2 pm at Branches Church
18350 NE Woodinville Duvall Pl, Woodinville

Celebration of Life:
4pm at Story Cellars Winery
19501 144th Ave NE STE A500, Woodinville

If you knew and loved Jason, you are welcome to join us. The plan is to share lots of memories. If you can’t make it, there will be a livestream of the memorial service with details to follow.

Read about his accident, so sorry to hear. Sounds like a fantastic father, husband and youth mentor. His art is going to live on and hopefully that will inspire more people to do good and help others like he did. I didn’t know him, but I appreciate his legacy. Here’s his portfolio, it’s amazing work. https://jasongrube.com/

What a tragic loss for his family. If you scroll through his art, you will recognize a lot of familiar designs. He even did the logo for The Stranger. He was a very talented artist.https://jasongrube.com/

Jason was an amazing talent and I got the pleasure of calling him my friend for many years as a neighbor in Admiral and Alki. He had a real heart for kids and mentoring with his illustrations which were thoughtful and whimsical. He always had a sketchbook chock full of hilarious and poignant drawings. He did many posters for the West Seattle school of rock, even after moving away. He was generous, caring and creative and will be missed by many. His artwork will live on but he leaves a big hole in his family with three young boys. If you can contribute to the support his family at the go fund me, please do so. https://gofund.me/35b3402e
