He was born on Dec. 4, 1971, in Lewiston, a son of John W. and Diane (Lajoie) Walker of Sabattus. Jason grew up in Sabattus, attending local area schools and graduated from Oak Hill High School in 1990. After high school he joined the Maine National Guard.

Jason also enjoyed vegetable gardening, creating educational YouTube videos, preserving seed and harvest, making homemade sausage with his best friend Michael Deslauriers II, and baking sourdough bread. He would research and self-teach on many topics such as religion, vehicle repair, building, and so much more.

Besides his wife and parents, he is survived by his two sons, Collin James and Jonathan Adam Walker both of Sabattus. He also leaves three siblings, John Jay Walker of Fayette, Jill A. Walker of Bar Harbor, and Julie Lynn Branagan of Winthrop, as well as several nieces and nephews.
