Who was Jason Richards?
For a very long time, Jason Richards has played a significant role in the Falcon Football Boosters initiative. Extremely giving with his time and effort, he was constantly prepared to go above and beyond to make sure the children in the program had an amazing time. His was a life of great importance. He positively impacted and inspired a large number of people. Jason was praised as a wonderful man and an excellent coach.
As a shining illustration of the program’s key values—F.I.R.S.T.—Jason was genuinely unique. He has been a member of the Falcon Football Family for more than ten years, together with his family. Everyone respected him, he was a friend to many, and he was very giving with his time and effort. He had a genuine passion for mentoring and guiding the young guys in our program. Over the years, Jason has had such an impact on so many people’s lives.
