It is with great sorrow that the family of Jason Robert McHenry, age 50, announce his passing on November 19 th , 2020 in Franklin, MA.

Jason spent 20 years working for Longhorn Steakhouse, moving up the ranks and eventually becoming a managing partner of the Franklin restaurant.

Jason leaves behind wonderful memories of being a loving husband and father. We are grateful for each and every day we were able to see his glowing smile and hear his infectious laughter.  He had a passion for cooking and was known for his kind spirit and sense of humor. Jason is survived by his wife and children, parents Bonnie and Warren of New Jersey, and his three older brothers Tim, Jon, and Mike. He will be lovingly remembered by his mother in law Tracy Abatsis, sister in law Courtney Abatsis and his many nieces and nephews who fondly called him 'Uncle J'.  Arrangements are being handled by Matarese Funeral Home in Ashland, where there will be a private service amongst family members.  In lieu of flowers, a fund has been set up for the benefit of his children:
