Jason Douglas Soloman, 17, of Traverse City passed away as the result of a car accident on October 3, 2026.

Jason was born on April 16, 2009 in Grand Blanc. He was the beloved son of Brian and Jessica (Stephenson) Soloman and brother to Brandon, Morgan, Ethan and Evan.

Jason attended Cherry Knoll where he made many lifelong friends. He then excelled at East Middle School where he was an outstanding wrestler. His love for wrestling transformed into a devotion to football where he dominated on both the offense and defense. He was an incredible teammate, friend and human.

Jason was an avid hunter, boater and fisherman, always processing his own meat and then preparing it for friends and family to enjoy. He was a phenomenal cook and loved to bake pies. He worked at Firefly since he was 14 and was loved by his fellow coworkers. He also enjoyed traveling.

Jason was charming, charismatic, respectful and just a really great kid. He was jovial, a natural leader and had an old soul. He loved making others laugh and he will be so dearly missed by all who knew him.
