Jason Andrew Rutledge Obituary (2026)

Jason Andrew Rutledge, 51, of Puyallup, Washington, passed away on May 21, 2026. Jason was a devoted husband, a loyal friend, a hard worker, and a man whose presence was a blessing to those who had the pleasure of knowing him in life. Born on July 8, 1974 , Jason had an appreciation for the outdoors. Whether hiking forest trails, casting a line into a quiet lake, or spending long afternoons on the water, he felt most at home under an open sky. His passion for boating ran deep. Spending weekends on the Pacific Northwest waters with family and friends were among some of his happiest moments. Jason married the love of his life, Petronella, in 2014, and together they built a home filled with laughter, warmth, and unwavering partnership. To his family, he was a steady source of kindness and encouragement. To his friends, he was the one who showed up—ready to help, ready to listen, ready to share one of his many jokes that made everything feel lighter. He is survived by his wife, Petronella; their beloved Dog, Bogart; his Mother In Law, Beverly; his family of Aunts and Cousins and their children; and a wide circle of In Laws and forever friends who will forever cherish his generosity, humor, and gentle spirit. A celebration of Jason’s life will be held once the family has had some time to digest. The family will invite the people that Jason would have wanted there. Jason’s legacy lives on through his wife, in every sunrise over the Sound, every shared meal among friends, everyday that Mt. Rainier comes out to show her beauty, and every moment of quiet joy in the great outdoors he loved so deeply.
