| About | Jason was born in Reno, grew up in Sparks and was a proud Railroader. After he graduated he enlisted with the Nevada Air Guard. Once he completed his military commitment he went to college at UNR and then earned his Masters degree in Florida. After a few positions in an upward trend he landed his dream position as President/CEO of Starburns Audio in Burbank. The following is the announcement of his passing. We’re heartbroken to report the sudden passing of Jason Smith , CEO of Starburns Audio, late on Friday afternoon. We mourn with his family, his wife and daughter, the Starburns family, and the comedy and podcast communities at large. Jason was motivated by a desire to create and connect with people. To elevate unique and inclusive comedy voices and help them reach their audience. He lived this dream every day, and those who were with him on this journey are so grateful for the time we've spent. We just wanted more. To work with Jason was to be close with him. He brought joy and empathy to each of his many endeavors, along with a rare and unique dose of humor and optimism. While he would blush to be so lionized, we will honor his memory and his legacy by continuing to work on what we've built so far together. He's left some big crocs to fill, but the work continues. Please join us in remembering this great man. With Love, The Starburns Audio Family |
