Obituary for Jason Green

His passion in life were his dogs, his family, his extended “dog family” all over the country and Canada and cooking. His sense of humor and his gentle attitude made him easy to like and fun to be with. He won his first of many trials with his Mixie in 1999 at the age of 15 and he was hooked on the sport from that moment on. In Jason’s short life, he had some wonderful opportunities and experiences: working for Ed and Esther Faraci for two years, and really finding out he wanted to be involved with springer spaniels in a full time capacity, working and traveling with Marty Knibbs in the US and Canada for over a year. Hunting wild pheasants in Montana with Marty and Lee Randall and many more friends, goose and duck hunting with Marshall Lussen and even traveling to a hunting camp for a week with Marshall to hunt wild geese. Jason participated in all aspects of the Field Trial sport; planting, shagging, gunning, training and judging. The last couple of years he had chaired several trials, including the Hall of Fame Trial in Tennessee with Mike Wallace and was going to be FT Chair of the 2010 National Amateur. He had a gentle, natural way with the dogs he trained and has an entire room filled with ribbons and trophies to show for it.
