Jason D. Wickett

Jason D. Wickett, 52, of 293 State Road, St. Marys, passed away Thursday, March 3, 2022, at Penn Highlands DuBois, after a life long illness.

He was born May 31, 1969, in St. Marys, son of the late Joseph A. Wickett and Rosemary Klein Wickett, who survives.  Jason was a lifelong resident of the area and was a graduate of St. Marys Area High School, Class of 1987.  

Jason’s neighborhood was his world.  He was that friendly face that would pop-in on all of them especially his best friend Kenny.  He loved to offer a helping hand and listening ear.  In Jason’s last years, his caregivers became his world and he held a special place in his heart for each of them.  Jason loved the holidays and his room was alway brightly decorated for each of them.  For his favorite holiday of Christmas, he decorated outside as well for many years.

In addition to his mother, he is survived by his sister, Donna Ragland and her husband David of St. Marys; his brother, Joseph D. Wickett and his wife Danette of St. Marys; and his niece Haleigh Wickett of Pittsburgh.

In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his loyal companion dog, Niki.

Jason was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus.  He loved animals and believed in angels. He had a huge heart and a beautiful smile that lit up the room.  Those who knew Jason well could tell stories about his tremendous memory.  His family and all who knew him benefited greatly from any encounter with him.
