    Jason was a funny and smart individual who fought till the end - he was a true fighter - that's why it didn't surprise me when I heard what he did that day.
    Jason was working overtime and when the call came through that his friends were under fire Jason raced to the scene instead of going back to the station.
    It is because Jason Makowski was not only a good officer; he was also a great man. We send his family and friends our deepest condolences and prayers and would like them to know that their son, brother, father and friend made an imprint on our lives in just a few short minutes.
