Jason Andrew Drury

Jason Andrew Drury, 39, of Bryans Road, MD, passed away November 08, 2020. Jason was born December 09, 1980 at St. Mary’s Hospital and was the son of Joyce A. Hagen (Harry Hagen Husband/Step-Father both of Fort Myers, FL) and Bernard J. Drury Jr. (Newport News, VA). Jason is survived by his daughter Madyson R. Vance of Mechanicsville, MD, brothers Duane Drury (Mark) and Brian Drury; and nieces Kayla Drury (Breianna), Kristen Drury and Krystal Drury. Jason was a lifelong resident of the Southern Maryland area, although primarily in St. Mary’s County. Jason graduated high school in 1998. He was a devoted son, brother, and a great friend to almost anyone he met. Jason had an exuberant personality, he never met a stranger, was kind, compassionate, and loving. Never to leave an argument or disagreement incomplete, he always extended the proverbial ‘olive branch’. He dearly loved his only daughter and to the depths that cannot quite be explained here. He was always available to lend a hand, offer a joke or kind and loving words when needed. Although he worked often in the construction trade, his passion was in landscaping – undoubtedly because he had an enormous amount of energy and he could release that energy with ease through landscaping. He helped his Mother and Brother often in their yards, cleaning up, mulching, designing landscape layouts, as well as planting and harvesting vegetables. Coming from the generational roots of his family’s farming in the Southern Maryland community, in many ways drew him to landscaping as this heritage coursed through his veins. Jason’s hobbies/pastimes included visiting friends and family often, fishing, crabbing, bodyboarding/boogie boarding), skateboarding, practically any outdoor activity, and discovering/visiting new places. The family will receive friends on Tuesday, November 24, 2020 from 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM at the Mattingley-Gardiner Funeral Home in Leonardtown, MD. A Funeral Service will follow at 11:00 AM in the Funeral Home Chapel with Deacon Ammon Ripple officiating. Interment will follow to Charles Memorial Gardens in Leonardtown, MD. Pallbearers will be: Joseph Arnold, Kevin Widmayer, Ryan Williams, Sean Smoak, Steve Tayman, and David Boszko. Honorary Pallbearers will be: Ed Williams and Kayla Drury. In lieu of flowers and in honor of Jason, a trust fund will be set up for his daughter Madyson R. Vance. Contributions may be made to Madyson’s Grandmother Joyce A. Hagen at 8956 Cypress Preserve Place, Fort Myers Florida 33912 in preparation for the “Madyson R. Vance Trust Fund”.
