Jason W. Warner, 48, of Howard, passed away on Friday, July 10, 2026, at Mount Nittany Medical Center in State College, with family at his side. He was born on March 12, 1978, in Conneaut, Ohio. On April 20, 2019, in Pensacola Florida, he married his beloved wife, Jodeci Chasen, who survives at home.
Jason was a 1996 graduate of Bellefonte Area High School. He was employed as a cook throughout much of his life, sharing his culinary talents at a variety of restaurants. Most recently he worked at the Hublersburg Inn. Jason found his greatest joy in the outdoors, where he appreciated the beauty and peace of nature. Above all else, he was a devoted father to his five daughters, a role he cherished deeply. Being a “girl dad” was one of his greatest sources of pride. He was also a loyal fan of the Cleveland Browns, cheering on his team through every season.

Warner and his wife Donna of East Springfield, PA; his mother, Rose Stemler and her husband Robert of Howard, five girls, Seraphina, Mikaia, Arianna, Evelyn and Celeste Warner.
