Who is he ?

It’s been posted above.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Passed away on a sheep hunt.

Details not yet released on official cause of death but stories suggest suicide.

RIP

Prayers for his family.

Jason was an inspirational guy to watch in both his business life,  and his life as an outdoorsman.   Prayers to his family, and friends, I am sure they are going through hell right now.

Very sad to hear. I had the opportunity to meet him just over a month ago going through security together at the Denver airport. Seemed like a nice guy.

That appears to be the consensus right now.  Condolences to the family.  He definitely changed the industry.

I just read it might have been a accident on his last sheep hunt.
As sad as it is his passing I sure hope that's the way he passed doing something he loved

My guess if on a sheep hunt it was and extended hunt or second hunt.  He was sheep hunting just last month with Donald Trump Jr, he posted a pic of them and a nice sheep.  Sounds like they had hunted a few times together.  The Fox article does mention problems with CTE, sad news either way.
