Jason Haugen, 32, of Troy

Jason Haugen, 32, passed away Saturday, June 15, 2013.

Though his life was short, he enjoyed as much of it as he could, always looking for fun and excitement.

While his facade prevented many people from knowing him, anyone who did know him understood that he loved deeply and could be a great friend. Even through many hard times, he always said family came first and he was very loyal to his.

Jason enjoyed snowboarding, golfing, folf and anything with a motor. He enjoyed any activity as long as he was with people who cared for him. His passion was his art, and he has left a lasting impression on many people.

Jason was born Sept. 2, 1980, in Everett, Wash. He moved, with his family, to Troy in 1989.

He is survived by his parents, mother Julie Wilson of Libby; father Blake Haugen of Troy; sister, Christine Saucedo of Troy; brother  Brandon (Clarissa) Haugen of Libby; mother of his children, Jennifer Lee, and children Kieanna, 7, Ikarus, 5, and Timori, 8 months; grandparents William and Karla Wilson (Grampa and Mimi); aunt Maria Agarenzo of Spokane, Wash.; and aunt Jill Sundin of Bothell, Wash., and many cousins, nieces and nephews who he loved dearly.
