With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we share the unexpected passing of Jason Cribbs, affectionately known by many as “Juice,” of Marion Center, Pennsylvania. Jason passed away suddenly on June 25, 2025, leaving behind a grieving community, a devoted wife, and two beautiful young children. His passing has created a wave of shock and sorrow among all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Jason was a man of deep loyalty, strength, and heart. Born in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and a graduate of Marion Center Area Junior–Senior High School, he was known for his warm personality, strong work ethic, and a quiet but ever-present willingness to help those around him. He built his life in Marion Center, where he raised his family and created a home full of love, laughter, and enduring memories.
Jason was the beloved husband of Rose Cribbs, and together they built a life rooted in love, commitment, and shared dreams. He was a hands-on father to their two children, Carter (4) and Ava (1), who were the light of his life.
Jason was the kind of dad who played on the floor, celebrated every milestone with pride, and worked hard to ensure his family had everything they needed. To his children, he was a hero in the truest sense—steadfast, gentle, and loving.
To his friends and extended family, Jason was “Juice”—a nickname that carried with it a deep sense of familiarity and affection. He was known for his easygoing nature, quick sense of humor, and the way he could make anyone feel at ease. He didn’t need to be the center of attention to make an impact—his presence was enough to bring comfort and stability to any situation.
The suddenness of Jason’s passing has left a hole in the lives of those who knew and loved him. It’s a loss that stretches far beyond words and touches everyone in his circle—his family, friends, neighbors, and former classmates.
In the midst of this tragedy, the outpouring of love and support for Rose, Carter, and Ava has been a testament to the kind of man Jason was—the kind of man who made people feel like family.
In response to this heartbreaking loss, a fundraiser has been organized to help the Cribbs family through the overwhelming financial burden that follows such a tragedy.
Contributions will go toward funeral expenses, mortgage payments, utilities, groceries, and other essentials as Rose navigates life without her partner and their children without their father. In this time of deep sorrow, the community is rallying behind the Cribbs family in prayer, love, and solidarity.
Jason’s legacy will be one of unwavering love, deep kindness, and a quiet strength that never wavered. He may be gone, but the mark he left on the hearts of those around him will endure. His memory will live on in the giggles of his children, in the love he shared with Rose, and in every story told by the people who cherished him.
May we all honor Jason Cribbs by supporting the family he adored and by living with the compassion, authenticity, and dedication that defined his life.
Rest in peace, Jason “Juice” Cribbs. You are deeply loved, sorely missed, and never forgotten.
