Jason G. Strauss, 41, of Campbell, NY, formerly of Addison, NY, passed away Tuesday evening (April 21, 2026), surrounded by his loving family at home.
Born on April 24, 1984, in Wellsboro, PA, Jason was the beloved son of Stephen Strauss, Sr. and Diane (Fangemann) Strauss.
He grew up in Addison, NY, where he attended Addison Central School. Jason went on to work in the family business, Strauss’s Tree Service, where he was known for his strong work ethic and dedication. Four years ago, Jason and his wife, Jessica, started a “homestead” together, raising beef stock and other livestock and also growing vegetables and flowers.

He is survived by his wife, Jessica Strauss; his daughters, Anna Strauss (Seth Mealy) and Grace Strauss; his stepdaughter, Liah Ector; and his unborn grandson, Gus Mealy, expected in July. He is also survived by his mother, Diane Strauss; his brothers, Stephen (Yvonne) Strauss and Matthew Strauss (Kassandra Hendrickson); and several nieces and nephews, Sadie, Henry, Charlie, Emily, and Isaac Strauss, along with many aunts and uncles.
