Ritenour, Jason Alexander of Minneapolis, died on his 32nd birthday on April 30th, 2017. Jason packed a lot of life, and love, into his time here including a love of dance, martial arts, and travel. He worked as a Network Engineer for MyTech Partners by day and shook his tailfeathers by night. His communities were many and varied, including circus artists, burlesque and Morris dancers, and the people of Vansemakul, a village in Vanuatu where he lived while serving in the Peace Corps. In this, as in all his adventures, he was joined by his wife, Gaea Dill-D'Ascoli, who survives him as well as his parents, E. Russell and Julie Ritenour, his little sister, Karis Ritenour, and a huge number of friends. His absence will be keenly felt and the world is a little less glittery without him.
