Biography

Jason Paul Zdunich was a proud family man and a constant shoulder to lean on to his friends. He was known to put others before himself; whether that was lending a hand to a stranger in need or offering personal support to friends and family. Jason was an amazing storyteller; he always had the entire room captivated and in fits of giggles. He had a talent for speaking in any accent from any part of the world on demand and he could quote more movies than most people have ever seen. Jason had a long and honorable career. He served in the United States Air Force for four years, including two tours to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. He then served over 15 years with the San Diego Police Department where he was the recipient of multiple life-saving citations. Jason loved God, the San Diego Padres, the Boston Red Sox, spending time with his friends and family, and playing with his children. Jason was married to Danielle Zdunich for over 10 years and was an incredibly proud father to Logan and Connor. Jason continues to be missed daily by those who loved and cared about him.
