Fellow soldiers from the 82nd Airborne remembered him as a brother, while expressing their heartfelt sorrow over Jace’s passing, writing:
Jace Hasskew isn’t just a memory from my time in the 82nd Airborne he’s stitched into my heart and into the man I became there. We were roommates sharing tight quarters, early mornings, and long nights where exhaustion and laughter blended together. We were friends who leaned on each other when the days were heavy and the expectations were higher than most people will ever understand. We were brothers in every sense of the word, forged by shared struggle, sweat, and sacrifice, bound by something deeper than words can fully explain….I love you always brother, keep us all safe from up there
Rest Easy and Fly High
Likewise, another fellow expressed his sorrow and wrote:
My guy…. I wish we could have talked more about whatever was going on. I’m so sorry.
