Jason weightlifting

I found this post online.
I also found video of him lifting.

The following is a sad note from Jim Kelly. I often gave Jason a lift to the gym and he was one of the 'regulars' at Newtownabbey: 

Dear Friends, 

It is with regret that I inform you all of the death of one of our members from the Newtownabbey Weightlifting Club- Jason Tracey who died on Saturday morning 7th February at home in London. Cause unknown as yet. Funeral arrangements to follow. 

Jason was there at the inception of our Club in 1997 when he was into his bodybuilding, but we eventually coaxed him into the lifting game. He lifted for a couple of years around 2003 making good progress before he departed for a job in London. He was back in Northern Ireland over a week ago- training along with his Newtownabbey and St Gabriel’s colleagues. He was looking in good shape and was intent on making a comeback in the Master’s. 

Jason was 35 years of age and lived with his fiancĂ©e Donna and her daughter Ria to whom we convey our deepest sympathies and to the family circle. He will be sadly missed by us all- a real character. Enclosed is a photo of him lifting in the Ulster Open Championships 2003 in Ballyclare High School. 

Jim Kelly (Secretary N’Abbey W/L Club) 

I am very sorry to hear of the death of Jason Tracey. Jason attended our National squad session a few years ago in Limerick. I met him again last year at a competition in Ballyclare when he was home on a trip from London. He was a very nice guy. On behalf of the Irish Amateur Weightlifting Association may I extend our deepest condolences.
