Services will be private at the convenience of the family. Heffner Funeral Chapel & Crematory, Inc., York, is assisting the family with arrangements.

Born February 26, 1973 in Hanover, he was a son Steven Walter and the late Judith (Klunk) Walter. For most of his working life, Curly was a maintenance electrician for RHI Magnesita., but held various other jobs in manufacturing at places like Wege Pretzels and Motts. At all of his jobs, Jason was known for his incredible work ethic and his ability to make and maintain friendships with many different co-workers. Outside of work, he enjoyed riding his Harley motorcycle and owned several Camaros. Jason also enjoyed family gatherings, spending time with friends playing cards or board games, and enjoying evenings on the screened-in porch with his wife. Affectionately known as "Curly" for his distinctive curly hair, Jason was a person who wore his nickname with pride. Armed with an amazing support system of friends and family and also a great sense of humor, Jason was also known as a fighter and had beat the odds many times to overcome health issues. Mr. Walter courageously fought a hard battle with pancreatic cancer alongside his loving family.

In addition to his wife Tracie, he is survived by three daughters, Courtney M. Walter and her husband EJ Fore, Summer N. McKissick and her husband Sean, and Hannah L. Walter; two granddaughters, Paisley M. Topper and Isabell O. Fore; and two brothers, Jeremy Walter and his wife Julia “Christy”, and Jesse Walter and his wife Victoria.
