Jason David Wilding returned to his heavenly home on Tuesday May 22nd 2012 at age 33 after his courageous battle with a brain tumor. He passed away at his home in West Jordan, Utah surrounded by his family and friends. He was born Jan. 5th 1979 in Rexburg Idaho, as the oldest of five and only son to Kenneth and Beverly Wilding. He served an LDS mission to Guam. He married Larissa Arnold on May 9th 2003 in the Salt Lake Temple. He knew she was the one when she survived his family's annual camping trip which was only their third date. Besides camping with his family he loved spending time on his grandparent's farm in Idaho. He enjoyed golfing with his dad but his favorite pastime was playing basketball. Jason was an avid BYU football fan and was thrilled to meet the team last fall. His children loved to wrestle with their daddy. His positive attitude with the challenges he faced has been an inspiration to all who knew him.
Jason is survived by his wife, children: Cloie (7), Carter (5), Hunter (2); his parents; sisters: Rebecca (Bryan), Lisa (Brandon), Rachel (Michael), Tara (Matthew); Grandmothers Janice Wilding and Phyllis Leatham Hall. The family will always be grateful to his caregivers, family, friends and ward members who helped him during these difficult times and also all those who have been a part of his life.

Jason was such an inspiration to all of us, especially this last year of his life. It was so hard to see him suffering and going through so much, but it was amazing to see how much his spirit and testimony grew. He was such a fighter and had an amazing attitude no matter what came his way. We will miss him so much but have comfort in knowing that he is still with us and we will see him again.
Love you Jason!

His story makes me cry every time I think of it. What a strong man he was, and an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for sharing. It's so neat that you have an older brother (I always wanted one). And now he can watch over you from above.
I'm so sorry Becky. We sure loved visiting with you all in June and can't wait to see your sweet kids soon. I hope residency and trips and life are going well.
