Jason W Clinger, 46, of Rochester passed away after a sudden illness at Woodlawn Hospital shortly after admission on Monday, February 17, 2025.

Born in Rochester on October 5, 1978, Jason William Clinger was a son of George and Carolyn Howe Clinger. Growing up he shared his childhood as the youngest of five children with two sisters and two brothers. In 1997 he graduated from Rochester High School.

With a strong work ethic, Jason worked at Rochester Cement Products for over two decades of his life.  He loved listening to country music and when he was growing up he loved to play the song "Elvira."  A man with a huge heart, he loved and adored his nieces and nephews.  They enjoyed terrorizing him and he proudly wore the title of Uncle Jason.  He had a great sense of humor, and his hearty laugh could be heard two rooms away.  Jason's favorite tractor was built by Farm-all. Nala and Maizy were his devoted canines who followed him wherever he went.  Jason will be remembered as a dear son, loyal brother, and a very cool and amazing uncle full of adventure.  He was a treasured friend who was always there for all who needed help.

Left to cherish Jason's memory are his mother Carolyn Clinger; companion Chris Hiner, both of Rochester; siblings: Tina (Mark) Cunningham of Plymouth,  Melinda Clinger of Rochester, Michael (Emily) Clinger of Bremen, Jerry Clinger of Rochester; nieces and nephews: Phillip Beattie (Brigid), Kristi Austin, Marcus Hancock, Austin Clinger, Kayla Mcvicar (Allen), Elizabeth Clinger, Isabelle Clinger, Hannah Clinger, Ares Clinger; Great nieces and nephews:  A.J. Austin, Xavier Austin, Adaline McVicar, Vinnie Beattie, Oliver McVicar, Easton Bahr and Savannah Bahr.

Preceding Jason in death are his father George Clinger and all of his grandparents.

A celebration of the life of Jason W. Clinger will be at noon on Monday, February 24, 2025, in the Good Family Funeral Home, 1200 West 18th Street, Rochester, IN.
