Jayson L. Mode passed away April 14th, 2022, at the age of 47. As a lifelong resident of Del Norte County, Jayson enjoyed fishing, camping, and swimming in the Smith River. He was an avid kayaker. He always enjoyed spending time with his friends and family on the river. He was also a talented musician and music lover.
Jayson was a good friend, brother, father, and son. When he told you that he had your back, he meant it, and would go the extra distance to make sure you were covered.
Jayson’s passing was unexpected. He got sick fast and without warning. Just a short time after a month of being sick, he passed away at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital. He was surrounded by family and close friends at the time of his passing.
