Jason Edwards of Bradenton, FL
Holmes Beach, FL – January 1, 2025 – BlueWave Restorations LLC, based in Holmes Beach, FL, is deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of Jason Edwards, beloved co-owner, colleague, and friend.
On New Year’s Eve, Jason tragically passed away at a private residence on Los Cedros Drive on Anna Maria Island while helping a friend connect electric to an RV after work. It was an accidental incident, and Jason died instantly.
Jason Edwards was more than a leader at BlueWave Restorations; he was the heart of the company. Known for his joyful spirit, unwavering kindness, and ability to lift everyone around him, Jason embodied the company’s commitment to serving the community with compassion and care. Jason’s light touched not only his coworkers and clients but also the broader Anna Maria Island community.
“We are heartbroken by the loss of Jason,” said Pete Dospel, co-owner of BlueWave Restorations. “He wasn’t just my business partner; he was one of my closest friends. Jason’s dedication to his work, his community, and the people in his life was unmatched. His generosity, integrity, and infectious positivity will be deeply missed but never forgotten.”
Gabe Lugo, a longtime colleague and friend of Jason, shared this heartfelt tribute:
“Jason wasn’t just my coworker; he was my brother. He had this incredible way of making everyone feel valued and seen. Whether it was a tough day at work or a personal struggle, Jason was always there with a smile, a kind word, and a helping hand. His absence leaves a hole that can never be filled, but his memory will live on in the way he touched our lives.”
Out of respect for Jason’s family and their privacy during this time of grief, BlueWave Restorations asks for understanding as the company takes time to mourn this tremendous loss. Operations will be paused for the remainder of the week, and clients will be contacted personally next week to discuss the next steps for ongoing projects.
Jason was born on February 20, 1973, in Newport News, VA. He moved to Winter Springs, FL, as a young child and to Bradenton with his family during the holidays in 1991. He attended Oviedo High School and built a life defined by generosity, warmth, and service to others.
He is survived by his mother, Diane Edwards; father, David Edwards; brothers Aaron and Andrew Edwards; sister Megan Edwards; nieces Alexis, Freya, and Audrianna; and nephews Tyler, Andrew Marley, and Braelyn.
Jason’s services will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Roland Toale and Sons Funeral Home at Manasota Memorial Park, located at 1212 53rd Ave E, Bradenton, FL 34203. His family has also established a GoFundMe page to assist with memorial expenses and to support his father, for whom Jason was a devoted caretaker.
Jason’s legacy will live on through the company’s dedication to the values he so deeply embodied—kindness, generosity, and excellence.
