Jason Edward Durbin
Jason Edward Durbin, 43, of Center Township, PA passed away peacefully on Monday, April 19, 2021 at AGH after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on September 6, 1977 in Sewickley, PA the son of Rose Durbin and the late Charles Durbin. He was preceded in death by his father, and grandparents, John and Martha Durbin ,and Glenn and Laura Wickham.
In addition to his mother, Jason is survived by his twins: Mikayla and Kingston Durbin; a sister Stacy (John) Sampson; nephew Zackary Sampson; aunt Cheri Trella; cousin Matthew (Stephanie) Trella; 2nd cousins Aaliyah and Angelina Trella, his wild and crazy dog Patches, and his beloved girlfriend Kelley Murtha and her daughters.
Jason graduated from Hopewell in 1995, where he left a legacy as a swimmer. He went on to graduate from Edinboro University in Psychology in 1999. He worked with his family for years at Penn Tile and Carpet, where he learned from the best, his dad. He finally found his ideal job and loved the people he worked with at Disaster Restoration Services in Carnegie. His co-workers were amazing and so thoughtful throughout his battle. His family thanks them all from the bottom of their hearts for all the support and love they showed through it all. Another special thank you to all the nurses and doctors at AGH on the 9A oncology floor for all the care and love they provided for Jay.
His love for his kids was unconditional and they meant the world to him. He will be remembered as a wonderful and amazing son, brother, father, and friend to many. He had that smile that lit up a room. His humor and personality made you love him. He will be missed and never forgotten.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that remembrances be made to a cancer society/organization in memory of Jason.
Friends will be received on Friday from 3~7pm in the HUNTSMAN FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATION SERVICES OF ALIQUIPPA. 2345 Mill St.

Gone too soon❣️ So sorry to hear this news. Deepest sympathy.
Will always remember him as a handsome but kind and sweet young man, that lit up any room he walked into. The world will miss that light. My deepest sympathy to all of his loving family. May god hold you all tenderly through this difficult loss.
I am shocked and sorry to hear about Jason. My son Paul swam with Jason and was a good friend to Paul. I remember Jason as well as his mother , father and sister treating him wonderfully and like part of the family. You have my deepest condolences and I will keep all of you in my prayers .
I haven’t known Jason for a long time but from what I did witness he was an AMAZING father and uncle. Great person to talk to( he liked to talk a lot) and upbeat. My family and I love spending time with his posse at the pool . He actually helped teach my youngest how to swim. And he was always my oldest sons cheerleader when he swam for swim team. The Sampson’s , Durban’s , and Murtha family are like my second family and I send so much love to you all.
Deepest sympathy to all the Durbin family…..was so happy I was able to re-connect with Jason over the summer at the pool. Am so very sorry to hear of his passing, and my heart breaks for his family.
I’m so very sorry to learn of Jason’s passing. I have many fond memories of him. He was so full of life. Funny, too. My condolences to all who loved him.
