Born in Newark, Ohio and raised in California and Colorado, Jason graduated from Chatfield High School in Littleton, Colorado in 1987. While attending Creighton University, Jason was a student athlete who double majored in accounting and finance and played baseball. Jason was a standout player during his senior season, which ultimately culminated in Creighton’s historic trip to the 1991 College World Series. It was at Creighton where Jason met his wife Kerry, who he married in 1992.

Jason started his career on the audit staff at Union Pacific, where he worked until 1994. It was at this stage in his life that his career ambitions pivoted towards the financial field, and as a result he became a Financial Consultant for Salomon Smith Barney where he was employed for 20 years. In 2013, he moved to RBC Wealth Management and became a Senior Vice President for the firm. Jason took pride in helping others with their investments, as evident by the number of friends and acquaintances accumulated over his extended tenure in the industry.

Jason had an intense passion for sports, especially coaching baseball, which he did in Omaha for over 10 years. You could find Jason passing along his love and knowledge for the game of baseball with a myriad of organizations, most notably the Omaha Royals, which both of his sons played for. Once Jason finished coaching, he turned his attention to the links and developed a vested interest in golf. His realization that his motto of “what you put into something is what you get out of it” could not be more true after posting the first few rounds of play once baseball was over. He continued to work on his golf game and enjoyed taking trips with his friends and family to do so.

Jason was a loyal son, brother, friend, husband, and father. His exemplary character and undying affection was felt by all those who were close to him.

Ivy B. Allard passed away on Saturday, March 31, 2018 after a lengthy illness. She is survived by son Stephen and daughter in law Diana. Grandson William of Omaha; sister Mavis Garn, brother John Downs, sister in law Marguerite Downs, of England and nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by husband Art, Brother Ken Downs, brother in law Ken Garn and sister in law Doris Downs. Special thanks for Skyline Nursing and Hillcrest Hospice.

Ivy was born April 20, 1928 in Walsall, West Midlands, England to Percy and Edith Downs. She grew up with a loving family, including Brothers Ken and John and sister Mavis. The family experienced very difficult conditions during the Second World War, with the heavily industrial West Midlands bombed nightly and food rationing a constant worry. Ivy had many responsibilities during the war years aside from attending school, there were daily excursions to scout for unexploded incendiary bombs and trips to the bomb shelters at night. She also managed to graduate from Walsall Technical College and earn advanced life saving certificates.

In 1945 Ivy met a young American soldier named Art Allard at a local dance venue in Lichfield where Art was stationed. Things progressed as they did in wartime, and Ivy and Art were married at All Saints Parish Church in Bloxwich on August 4, 1945.

After they returned to Nebraska, Ivy made frequent trips home to England to visit, including one in 1955 with her 4 year old son Stephen sailing on the Queen Elizabeth from New York to Southampton and returning on the Queen Mary.

Ivy adapted well to life in Nebraska and learned to hunt and fish with Art’s family, something very new for her. She was an expert swimmer and wasn’t afraid of any high diving board she encountered. She also enjoyed tennis. She was a teacher for Encor and Goarc, both dealing with mentally challenged children.

Ivy was gregarious and outgoing and the life of many a party and not afraid to speak her mind in any situation. She was active at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Omaha and The British Commonwealth Club. She was extremely fond of dogs and leaves a new grand- dog Cody, whom she met just a few days before her death. She and her husband Art loved to travel and took many trips after he retired. She will be greatly missed by her family.

Private family services will be held at a later date.
