Jason E. Brand passed away on February 14, 2021 after fighting an aggressive 36 day battle with COVID. He was born on May 29, 1971 in Baxter Springs, Kansas.
Jason graduated from Wyandotte High School in 1989 then attended OSU Okmulgee Tech for Diesel Technology. He had a lifelong career in Diesel Mechanics starting at Tulsa Transit and continuing his passion at Tulsa Technology Center, Wonder Bread, and was currently working at Cummins, Inc. in Arlington, Texas. He was a part of starting, owning, and running Brand New Pool Service since 2016.
On November 17, 1997, he married Zora Beth Woods. Together, they had three amazingly insane children: Kayla (22), Kyle (20), and Megan (19). They all lived in Cleveland, Oklahoma until they moved to Midlothian, Texas in 2005. Jason’s first priority in life was loving, laughing, and playing with his family. He shared his love of music with his family although almost no one could beat him at music trivia. He also enjoyed anything that went fast from RC cars to his ATVs to many, many vehicles that he worked-on or drove. His favorite indoor activities included Youtube, Netflix, watching football, and playing video games while feeding the dogs snacks behind Beth’s back. Throughout his life, Jason was a man who loved everyone he came into contact with—even if he had a hard time expressing it—whether it was through poker, ornery jokes, coaching, leading a room full of people, or just a connection that came about through chance. There was not a person that he came into contact with that was not affected or loved by his infectious laughter and pure heart.
Jason was preceded in death by blue-eyed Bella 🐾 (dog). He is survived by his wife, his children, and his beloved dogs. Jason is also survived by his parents, Pamela (Pulley) Mathis and her husband, Joe, and Daniel Brand and his wife, Barb, his sister, Kelly Mathis, and his grandmother, Betty Pulley, as well as many other friends and family.
We will have two different Celebrations of Life to honor Jason. The first one will be held on Sunday, February 28th, 2021, at Blaine Stone Lodge (5331 Weatherford Rd, Midlothian, TX 76065) in Midlothian, Texas. It will be a come and go from 1pm to 5pm. The second one will be held on Saturday, March 6th, 2021, at Claremore Conference Center (1400 W Country Club Rd, Claremore, OK 74017) in Claremore, Oklahoma. This will also be a come and go, and it will be from 1pm to 5pm. The family asks for guests to wear whatever they feel is comfortable and respectful to them. If visiting, masks will be required and worn properly. There will be hand sanitizer available around the room and single-use masks for anyone who might need one or want one.
In lieu of flowers, the family would like cards, letters, or emails with cherished, funny, and/or important memories of Jason. With the memory, please include your name, your relationship to Jason, and possibly the timeframe of the memory. Please email memories to jasonbrand.memories@gmail.com or mail to the Brand family

I did not have the opportunity to work with Jason at Cummins, but I am very sorry to hear of his passing. We are thinking of his family at this very difficult time and praying for them.

Such an amazing man. I will miss hearing him and my brother argue about whose sister was worse along with all the teasing he did, was just like having another brother around. He will be greatly missed by both all.

So very sorry to hear of your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that Jason is not suffering but is in a beautiful place with loving family members (ancestors) who have gone on before him.
My love and prayers are with you.

I never had the chance to meet Jason myself but I was able to work with his daughter Kayla when I was younger. Meeting her and reading about this man, I know he was nothing short of amazing and wonderfully loving. My dearest condolences and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Dear Beth,
I had the pleasure of meeting Jason through our relationship at Cummins. We are so very sorry for your loss Beth… We will keep you and your entire family in prayer. Jason treated me as a friend. Of which, I am very grateful. It was an honor to spend time with him. He was kind, open and fair. This is the testimony of any life wonderfully lived. Will miss an opportunity to have another meal with him at lunch. But, will hold fondly the time we did spend together. He loved his family… and we would talk about our families when we got together. He will be missed by so many.. especially you and your children. For this, there are no words other than we will be thinking of you and your family. Again, praying for you Beth! May God bless you with the comfort and support needed at this time.
