Family, friends and strangers have rallied around the Stevens family after the tragic accident at the Deserado Mine that took the life of Jason Stevens on August 3rd. 32-year-old Stevens was found under a two-ton trough at the mine production facility. He was found under the container used to clean coal located above ground. It’s reportedly the first fatality at the mine since October 1996. As news of the tragedy spread, support poured in through a Go Fund Me account set up for Jason’s wife Jasmin and their two boys, 9-year-old Hoss and 6-year-old Jace. Over $11,250 dollars was raised in the first four days the account was created. All donations are going to help the family pay for the expenses that come with losing a husband and father. Funeral services were held for Jason Stevens on Thursday in Ferron, Utah. Interment is scheduled for Friday at the Vernal City Cemetery. Our condolences to the family and friends mourning this tragedy.
