Jason was born Feb. 21, 1976 in Eau Claire. He grew up in Medford and attended Medford Area Public Schools.
Over the years he worked a variety of jobs, most recently as a carpenter. Jason took pride in the work that he did and was well known for his strong work ethic and his perfectionist attitude; he strove to do the best at everything he set himself to.
Jason lived life to the fullest. He was an avid outdoorsman, hunter and fisherman - both in the summer and winter. Whether tracking a big buck or pulling in a monster northern he was unquestionably in his element in nature.
Jason loved his son, Chandler, and enjoyed spending time with him. They spent a great deal of time outdoors and Jason took pride in passing on some of his skills, including engine repair and vehicle maintenance to him.
Jason is survived by son, Chandler Brandner; grandfather, John McMurry; parents, Joseph (Valerie Rust) Zirngibl, Kathy (Wayne Schmidt) McMurry; brother, Ryan Zirngibl. Also many half and step-siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Jason was preceded in death by grandparents, Joseph and Celine Zirngibl and Eileen McMurry; brother, John Zirngibl.
A very special acknowledgement goes to Jason’s many close friends and his second family, the George and Rita Kalmon family, who loved and welcomed Jason into their lives for many years.
Hemer Funeral Service of Medford and Rib Lake is serving the family. For online condolences, please visit hemerfuneralservice.com.
