Jason Jerome Lewis was born in Randolph County, Alabama on March 18, 1977, to the parentage of the late Jerome and Helen (Phillips) Lewis.

Jason grew up here in the neighborhood, attending Roanoke City Schools. He was a 1995 graduate of Handley High School. Right out of high school on September 16, 1995, Jason journeyed to Montgomery, Alabama, where he entered into the United States Navy, serving our grateful nation until September 25, 1998. He served at sea 2 years, 8 months 18 days. His military decorations included The National Defense Service Medal, Battle "E" Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, and The Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal. Having earned the rank of E-3, he was honorably discharged at Mayport, Florida in 1998.

After discharge from the military, Jason worked as a self-employed barber. Except for very brief periods of time, such as military duty, Jason remained close to home. He was a very family oriented young man, who enjoyed nothing better than hanging out with family and friends. A zealous fan, he was among the most spirited of Alabama Football worshippers.
