Waterloo, Iowa – Jason Michael Nabholz Obituary and Death of a Beloved Son and Friend
It is with profound sadness that I share the passing of Jason Michael Nabholz, aged 35, of Waterloo, Iowa, who died unexpectedly on November 11, 2025.
Jason, a proud native of Waterloo, was known for his kind and loyal spirit, a man who valued friends, family, and community above all. His strong work ethic and dependable nature earned him respect among colleagues and friends alike—he took pride in doing his job well, and was always willing to lend a helping hand.
From a young age, Jason embraced life with warmth and sincerity. He was a dedicated brother and son, and a favourite uncle among nieces and nephews—always present for milestones, celebrations, and simply being there to share laughter and support. Outside of his personal relationships, Jason was an avid sports fan: weekends often found him gathered with family or friends watching football or basketball, his enthusiasm reflecting his love of shared experiences and camaraderie.
In his community, Jason’s presence was deeply felt. He valued the simple joys of friendship, the comfort of teamwork, and the strength of being known and appreciated. He made people feel welcome, appreciated, and included—and those who knew him will remember his easy smile and big heart. His life may have been cut unexpectedly short, but the impact of his generosity and laughter remains.
Jason’s family and friends will now carry his memory forward—through every game watched, every helping hand offered, every gathering of loved ones. His spirit lives on in those moments when kindness wins out, when loyalty is shown, when community matters. There will be grief, yes—but also gratitude for the time shared, the love exchanged, the memories created.
Though the cause of Jason’s death was sudden and described only as “unexpected,” his legacy is anything but brief. Surrounded by family, adored by nieces and nephews, and respected by the many whose lives he touched, Jason Michael Nabholz was a man who lived with sincerity, purpose, and heart.
May his memory forever be a blessing to those who mourn his loss—and a reminder that even in unexpected endings, the imprint of a life well‑lived remains.
