Jason Suleski
November 26, 1988 - April 20, 2017
Jason attended Sacred Heart
School in Hampton, NH from K to 8th grade graduating in 2003. He played on the
soccer team for the Wildcats for 3 years being elected Captian in his 8th grade
year.
Jason attended St. Thomas Aquinas from fall of 2003
until graduation in 2007
In 2012 & 2013 Jason came back to St.Thomas as the JV boys Soccer Coach.
In 2003 Jason started for the JV
soccer team as a freshman when we
had a freshmen team and only 3 or 4 freshmen were selected to play up.
He started over sophomores and juniors.
His sophomore year he started playing JV and after the Varsity lost their
first 4 games he was brought up to shore up the defense. He sat on the bench for
the first 10 minutes of that 5th game.
It was the only time he was ever off the field.
After they gave up two goals Jason was sent in.
For the next three seasons he played in 48 games never once coming off
the field.
At the start of his
Senior year he was elected as a Captain.
At the end of his senior year he was selected by the NH
Class I coaches
as an All State Defender.
He was
also selected to the Foster’s Dream Team of seacoast area high school soccer
players.
Fosters quote – “Suleski was the Iron Man for the Saints
this season never missing a minute of play.
His ability to cover the field and opponents best scorers stumped
coaches’ league wide.
He was able to
neutralize the best scorers on each team they faced.”
Jason was also the Silver boot winner his senior year, a NHSCA & NHIAA
Scholar Athlete.
He was a member of
the first team to win a NSCAA High School team academic award.
He loved this game.
He was
super competitive.
He hated to lose.
Jason had an uncanny ability
to see the good in all people and will be sorely missed by a multitude of
friends both old and new. He was an intelligent young man with many talents, but
was particularly noted for his artistic abilities and his love of all sports.
Some of the very best times of his life were spent on the court or the field
with his brother, Ross, and many friends. Jason was a true extrovert and extended
family celebrations were a highlight of his life.
Jason rescued a dog from Tennesse and being a fan of the Grateful Dead named the pup "Tennesse Jed" giving him his own theme song. You can still follow Jed's adventures on Facebook at Jed Suleski
