Jason Edward “Jase” Dorrance, 41, of Frederick County, VA, passed away unexpectedly Saturday, May 29, 2021 in Star Tannery, VA.
Jase was born March 25, 1980 in Cazenovia, NY, the son of Donald and Gaynell Dorrance. He married his best friend, Eleese E. Dorrance May 14, 2016. He was an avid bow hunter of deer and turkey and was quite the groundhog slayer. He also enjoyed fishing, riding side by sides, and teaching his boys everything he knew. He was a team leader at Virginia Eagle Distributing, where he had worked for 20 years. When Jase wasn’t at Virginia Eagle, you could find him at Woodbine Farms farming with his boys. He was the greatest father to his three boys and loved them beyond words. His family reached farther than blood and he never met a stranger. He had a giver’s heart and was the glue that kept his surrounding community together. There was always a smile on his face, a beer in his hand, and he was constantly making others laugh.
Jason is survived by his wife; Eleese E. Dorrance, his children; Grayson, Blake, and Luke, his parents; Donald and Gaynell Dorrance, his siblings; Justin Dorrance (Amy), Jon Dorrance (Holly), Jennifer Prusik (Mike), and Heidi Smith (Eli), his niece and nephew; Kylie and Tyler, and his beloved dogs; Kota and Bear.
A celebration of life will be held Thursday June 3, 2021 at West Oaks Farm Market from 6:00pm to 9:00pm.
