• In Loving Memory of Jason Micocci

Peacefully on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at home in Ottawa, in his 40th year. Adored soulmate of Daryl Ray, and cat daddy to Pepito, Jason loved the outdoors, learning languages, cooking and baking, and was passionate about aviation. From humble beginnings in Gaspé, Québec, Jason earned two degrees in science and spent his early career in forestry and biology. He pursued pilot training in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, before joining the Government of Canada where he worked in Indigenous forestry initiates before becoming a Policy Analyst in aviation safety and security, a role he found deeply fulfilling. 

Jason loved learning languages as a gateway to new cultures and traditions; aside from his native French and English, he was self-taught in German and Italian. He adored the written works of Marcel Proust and curated an impressive collection of his and other Fin-de-siècle works, those that evoked a sense of love and longing, elegance and identity. In 2023, Jason’s dreams came true when he visited Austria and climbed the Alps, and felt his most authentic self traversing Vienna, Salzburg, Innsbruck and Graz. At home, his library and record collection was vast, from the yé-yé vinyls of the 60s to Strauss and songs of the Alps, Jason adored music and literature that spoke to the soul. His favorite movie, Amélie, encapsulates much of what was true to Jason, that life is a treasure hunt you don’t know you’ve entered and love is the map.
