Troy- Jason Eric Waters, 42, of Troy, died suddenly Thursday, June 2, 2016.

Jason was a graduate of Tamarac High School, Class of 1993.
Jason was a talented carpenter and “a Wiz” at math. He spent several years in the construction trades of general contracting using his ability to figure angles and calculate figures in his head to his advantage in the work place and in his quiet time with his friends at the billiards table, often besting them in a game of pool. In the past he was employed by the F.H. Alexander Company and as an installation technician for the Ace Overhead Door Company, both in Troy.
Jason was a member of the Pittstown United Methodist Church. He was as an outstanding auto mechanic, who loved to compete in as many demolition derby events as he could driving cars he would prepare himself. In his quiet time he enjoyed visiting with family and friends and listening to his favorite musical group, The Grateful Dead.
