Jason Fredrick Lee Maas
Jason Maas, 29, boldly and cheerfully surrendered his
disabled, crippled physical body for a new one that is
perfect in every way, to begin a joyful life with our heavenly
father in paradise on Sunday, April 14, 2013, at Brownwood
Regional Medical Center.
A celebration of life for Jason will be held at 2 p.m. Friday,
April 19, 2013, at Rocky Creek Baptist Church, with Rick
Justice and Mack McCarthick officiating. A private inter-
ment will follow a later date. Visitation will be held from 6-8
p.m. Thursday at Blaylock Funeral Home.
Jason was born to Gary Maas and Freida Maas on July 30,
1983, in Brownwood. Even though Jason had to live out his
years on earth in a body that wouldn’t work for him, he still
maintained an amazingly cheerful attitude. Any time any-
one would stop to speak to him, he was always quick with
a splendid smile or an exciting laugh. Even though he could
not speak, he spoke volumes through his expressions, his
magnificent love for God and his great love for people, even
if they tried to do him harm.
Jason has had to fight for what he has accomplished
which makes him the toughest person I know. In his life he
has accomplished many things, such as graduating from
high school on the “A” honor roll, he touched the lives of
countless people and, most of all, has his name written in
the lamb’s book of life, which means, this day he is with
Jesus in paradise.
He has fought his way through more than 20 major
surgeries with a dynamic and unbelievably outstanding
attitude. After surgery you could see his determination to
get through it with as little help as possible. Then, there was
a point during this process when he would give his special
smile, and I knew everything was going to be all right, and
we would be going home soon.
If you ever took the time to
really get to know him, you
would have a new respect for
life. To know Jason is to love
Jason. He has filled our lives
with joy and respect for God
and life; it has been a true joy
and pleasure to know him and
be a part of his life.
We thank God for allowing
us to have a child like Jason...
We love him very much... he
will be sorely missed.
He is survived by his father,
Gary Maas and Christy;
mother, Freida Maas; broth-
ers, Jude, Cole and Bradly; grandmothers, Gwen Maas and
Ruth Davee; aunts and uncles, Mack and Sharyl McCarthick,
Scott and Teresa Maas, Richard and Donna Maas, Bruce and
Sandy VonReidel, Sherry Oakley, Craig Davee, and Sandy
Davee; and numerous cousins.
Jason is preceded in death by his grandpas, Ted Maas and
Freddie Bonetti.
Condolences may be left for the family at www.blaylock-
funeralhome.com. Arrangements are under the direction of
Blaylock Funeral Home.
The family wants say a special thank you to all the people
who helped Jason and were friends with him. His friends
and family were his joy. He loved for people to spend time
with him and include him in their lives.

“This is the money we raise for a full year’s budget
for the Boys and Girls Club” said Shari Speck, President
of the Boys and Girls Club of Brown County's Board of
Directors, “The reason we are doing it is because of the
kids.”
The profits from the dance go toward the club’s bud-
get for the next year. Speck said that over the last year,
the Boys and Girls Club attendance has increased by 25
percent.
A special luminaria
ceremony is held as part of
the American Cancer Soci-

for $5 and can be pur-
chased from any Relay For
Life team member or by
stopping by Walgreens.
“It’s beautiful when all
the bags are illuminated
around the track,” event

ful ceremony that really

MAKING SENSE
OF INVESTING
Bangs to donate
old band uniforms
to Lyric Theatre
BY RICK PHELPS
SPECIAL TO THE BULLETIN
news@brownwoodbulletin.com
BANGS —The Bangs Independent School District Board of
Trustees voted unanimously Monday night to donate all of its
old band uniforms to the Lyric Theatre in Brownwood.
Superintendent Bill Foster told the board that an offer to
purchase the uniforms did not materialize, so offering the
uniforms to the theater was a viable alternative. “Right now,
all they are doing is taking up room.”
New uniforms were purchased for the band in 2012.
Other information Foster also reported included that work
to the B.J. Rankin Indoor Facility is scheduled to begin in
June; Baccalaureate is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Sunday, May
26 in the high school auditorium and graduation will be held
at 8 p.m. Friday, May 31 at Memorial Stadium and that stu-
dents will be receiving two days off in May because of unused
snow days.
In other business, the board:
• Approved a resolution extending a depository contract
for funds with TexasBank
• Reviewed figures for borrowing money for renovations to
Memorial Stadium (no action taken)
• Discussed the voluntary exit incentive plan
• The trustees meet the third Monday of each month at
7:30 p.m. in the administration building located at 200 E. Hall
in Bangs.

exercise. Jerden has also
had knee and hip replace-
ments.
The West Austin pool
doesn’t have water jets, nor
does it have a chair lift to
help swimmers in and out
of the pool as did the Fit-
ness Zone pool.
Jerden said she was
initially apprehensive about
the pool because it’s not
a therapy pool, but said,
“I’ve enjoyed it. It meets my
needs.”
Sammie Courington, an-
other former Fitness Zone
pool user, noted the pool’s
disadvantages: it lacks a
chair lift, the bottom is “a
little rough,” and “it does
drop off kind of steep.”
Courington said he sees
the West Austin pool as
a temporary solution and
hopes someone will agree to
lease the Fitness Zone pool
and keep it open.
“It’s not what we’re ac-
customed to but it is better
than nothing,” Courington
said of the West Austin
pool. “We’re making do.”
But while the pool is not
therapeutic, it is heated
and does provide “the
non-weight-bearing environ-
ment,” said Courington,
who has arthritic knees.
Courington said the pool
was designed for SCUBA
certification. A sign on the
pool’s exterior indicates
the pool is available for
swimming lessons and pool
parties.
