Jason graduated from Panama High in 1983. 

After graduation, Jason attended Clarkson University and received his degree in Biology.  At that same time he married his college sweetheart Julie (Hayden) Robbins.  He began his military career in 1985 and was commissioned into the Army in the division of Field Artillery.  Jason served in a variety of leadership positions including service in Operation Iraqi Freedom.  On October 31, 2007, after over twenty-two years of service, Jason retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. During his retirement ceremony, Jason was awarded a Legion of Merit Award for his enormous contributions to the nation and exceptional performance in assignments of ever increasing responsibility.  During Jason's military career, he completed his Masters degree at the University of Central Florida in Engineering Management.   

After Jason's retirement, he joined the Millennium Corporation and was appointed the Lead Program Manager at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey.  Jason worked diligently to engineer devices that protected our military men and women in combat.  He was responsible for contracted services that developed solutions to counter the Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) threat in both the Afghanistan and Iraqi theaters of operations.   

Jason's life was cut short when he was killed in a motorcycle accident on April 26th, 2008.  He was 42 years old.  Anyone that knew Jason, loved him.  If he was in a room, you knew he was there, even if you didn't see him.  Jason was my brother, my mentor and most of all, my friend.  I looked up to him and I miss him terribly. 

Jason's mother, Donna Robbins, lives in Falconer and his father, Roy Robbins lives in Jamestown.  Jason had two siblings Dennis Robbins and Lori Stansbury.  Jason's wife and three boys (Julie, Craig, Chad and Michael) live in Newton, NJ. 

Jason is buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC.
