Remembering Jason Timmerman

 

A good friend


It’s been ten years since the Iraq war started and it’s been a little over eight years since my friend Jason Timmerman died in Iraq. Jason and I went to college at Dakota State University and we both studied math. I saw Jason pretty much every day at college, we were always in the same classes and he was very active around campus.

Jason became a teacher and taught high school math for a while before he was eventually deployed. He was killed in February 2005 by a roadside bomb. It’s very sad for me to think about losing a great leader and teacher like Jason. Remembering those we have lost can be a great inspiration and Jason has been one for me.

I’m excited to announce that this year we will award the Jason Timmerman Memorial Scholarship at Dakota State University. This scholarship will go to a student who is working toward a Math Education major. I wanted to ask my friends if you would help with a donation to remember Jason and the many others who have sacrificed for our country. The scholarship is just starting up and it would mean a lot to me if you would consider helping us out.
