In Memory of Jason BrengoliniThere is, among my carny friends, a sense of family that you rarely see among such a large group of coworkers. Fictive kin are common and the loss of one reverberates as much as the loss of an immediate family member or, as often can be the case, moreso. It is a family of which I am terribly proud to be the tiniest part of.
My friend Carol contacted me and asked if I had any photos of Jason. I had seen chatter on facebook about his passing but didn't recognize his name until she told me. I looked and found that as often as I saw him (and he gently told me "I may not want to stand" where tons of steel was quickly moving into place) I didn't have THAT many photos because he was ALWAYS working his ass off. No greater tribute can a real carny have.
Jason Brengolini passed away this week of heart failure. He was 33 and leaves behind his wife, Jenn, and sons Jason (age 6) , James (age 2) and Jacob (age 1)
