Wed. February 11th, 2015 - by Andrew McDaniel

It is with a heavy heart that we report the sudden loss of 36-year-old Jason Lazor, Senior Regional Marketing Manager for Kroger Co. This beloved member of the retail community passed away in a tragic accident while camping with a large group in the Red River Gorge area this past weekend.

Jason grew up professionally within the Kroger family, having joined the company just before graduating from Miami University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Management Information Systems and Services. He worked his way up within the ranks of the company, beginning as the Team Lead for its enterprise email services to his current executive position throughout almost 15 years of diligent service. His dedication, passion, and commitment to the company will always be remembered.

"The entire Kroger family is heartbroken by the tragic loss of Jason Lazor," Keith Dailey, Kroger's Corporate Communications Director, said according to WCPO Cincinnati News. "He was a well-respected colleague and a friend to countless associates. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jason's family, friends and colleagues."

Jason is survived by his wife Anna Lazor, currently expecting their first child, as well as the loving son of Evelyn and the late Eugene Lazor, beloved brother of Emily Lazor, grandson of Bernard and Zenobia Williams and the late Michael and Margaret Lazor. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, Feb. 14, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. with a memorial service at the Gwen Mooney Funeral Home, 4389 Spring Grove Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45223. Memorial contributions may be given to the Fisher House, a charity which supports veterans and their families.

AndNowUKnow would like to take this time to offer our heartfelt condolences to the Lazor family and friends in this difficult time.
