He proudly served his country in the United States Army as an E-5 Sergeant with the 864th Engineer Combat Battalion under Task Force Pacemaker. During his military service, he completed two tours in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. His unit played a vital role in road construction, bridge repair, Forward Operating Base expansions, and route clearance operations throughout Eastern Afghanistan. Jason carried great pride in his service, the men he served beside, and the work they accomplished together.
Outside of the military, Jason had a passion for operating heavy equipment and took pride in hard work through the Local 139 Operators Union.

Jason also had a deep love for music and enjoyed spending time gardening flowers when he was home. He appreciated both the simple and meaningful parts of life.
Known for his outgoing personality, Jason truly never knew a stranger. He was a social butterfly who could strike up a conversation with anyone and make people feel welcomed. His laughter, stories, humor, and larger-than-life presence touched many people throughout his life.

I served with Jason in the 864th EN Battalion. Jason was always a positive and upbeat person who didn’t let the military bring down his positive attitude. You will be greatly missed brother. Rest easy my friend and God bless you.
I had known Jason since grade school.
He never had a negative word to say about anyone or anything.
He had such any easy disposition that made him so joyed to be around, so easy to relate to
I will miss running into each other when visiting back home.
My condolences to all of his family.
Prayers to all. So sorry to hear this. 🙏
Dochnahl Family I am so sorry for the loss of a great man, son, father. I was lucky enough to have served with Jason for 4 years and one tour in Afghanistan. Was a hard core soldier and worker… He had the biggest heart out there but also had each others back when needed. We all lost a brother from our unit and a true friend .
Too the daughters: Sorry we never had the chance to meet but one thing is your dad never gave up. Times will be tough without him but he will always be there by your side…
So very sorry for your tremendous loss
Heather, Sydney, Alanna, & Erin,
My heart goes out to all of you during this time. Just keep loving each other and remember all the good times you shared.
To the entire Dochnahl family, I send my condolences to you all. I have known Jason since he was a young boy he’d come with his dad over to the house to either have something fixed or fix something for us. His memory will live on most definitely, he touched a lot of hearts, and served our country. May God comfort you during these difficult days 🙏
