In the heartwarming biography that follows, we delve into the remarkable life of Jason Mickey, a Financial Advisor with Wealth Design Group in the bustling city of Houston, Texas. Jason's journey is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, as he has overcome profound loss and emerged not just surviving but thriving in the face of adversity.
Born in Seattle, Washington, Jason's early years were marked by the challenges of a rare blood condition called Kostmann’s Syndrome. His childhood was spent navigating the corridors of the Children’s Orthopedic Hospital in Seattle, a backdrop to a resilient spirit that would define his future.
In 1989, Jason's life took a joyous turn when he married Deborah, and together they welcomed their daughter, Ashley, into the world later that year. Their small family was shaken when Ashley, too, was diagnosed with Kostmann’s Syndrome. This shared struggle would ultimately strengthen the father-daughter connection.
Hope entered their lives with the discovery of Neupogen, a breakthrough drug that significantly improved the quality of life for both Ashley and Jason. However, the family faced another daunting chapter when Kostmann’s Syndrome transformed into Acute Myelogenous Leukemia for Ashley in 1994. Undeterred, they faced the challenge head-on, with Ashley undergoing a bone marrow transplant in 1996 in an attempt to save her life.
Tragically, the transplant failed to engraft long-term, and Ashley's journey concluded in 1998, leaving Jason and Deborah to grapple with the profound loss of his eight-year-old daughter. This heartache was compounded in 2000 when Deborah began experiencing symptoms of probable Multiple Sclerosis. After a year of steady decline, that diagnosis was changed to Multiple System Atrophy in 2009, culminating in the death of Deborah in 2010. The death of his wife of 21 years marked another tragic loss for Jason and brought his faith and his world crumbling down around him.
The aftermath plunged him into a dark period, questioning the very purpose of his existence when faced with the inexplicable absence of his wife and daughter. Yet, in the shadows, Jason found support from family and friends, guiding him back to a path of hope and rediscovery.
Amidst pain and loss, Jason rediscovered faith, reigniting his connection with God and finding a renewed purpose – to inspire others to discover and live lives aligned with God’s intention and love.
In 2013, a new chapter unfolded when Jason crossed paths with Renee Myers. Their journey led them to Texas in 2014, culminating in a joyous union in 2017. For the past six years, they have shared a blissful marriage in the vibrant city of Houston.
As a financial advisor, Jason Mickey manages wealth and also embodies the wealth of human resilience, love, and triumph. His story stands as a beacon of hope, illustrating that even in the face of life's greatest challenges, it is possible to endure and thrive.
