Memorial for Bay Area Climbing Fixture Jason Dunbar
The Touchstone community lost a valued member last week. Jason Dunbar, a 34 year old climber of twenty years and a fixture in the bay area climbing community, suffered a heart attack while hiking on the trails of Yosemite.
A passionate and talented cook, Jason worked as a Sous Chef at Millennium Restaurant in SF, where he created the menu along with Eric Tucker. The gourmet vegetarian restaurant feeds people delicious food that keeps the environment in mind in the making. "He was honest and full of life-someone who believed that if he was going to do something, it was going to be done right and with all of his endless energy and integrity," said Allison Bagby.
Jason loved Yosemite and spent a significant amount of time in the valley, where once a week for the past three years he took day trips to boulder or to hike looking for new rocks on rainy days.
Jason's memorial service will be held on Friday, May 27th at 2PM at Lafayette Orinda Presbyterian Church, 49 Knox Dr., Lafayette.
In lieu of flowers, Jason’s family and friends are asking you to contribution to The Access Fund; an organization dedicated to protecting the environment at America's rock climbing sites.You can make a memorial donation to Jason's Access Fund Site

As the father of Jason's fiance, Alison Bagby, I was very interested in ascertaining who this young man with long hair and a passion for making wonderful meals and climbing big rocks actually was. I was happy to find in Jason a young man who was intelligent, talented, and full of integrity. I also came to be very impressed with his commitment to living life as fully as possible while honoring the marvels of nature in mountains, foreses, and big rocks. We all lost a very special young man that day in Yosemite. Alison and Jason's wonderful family will miss him most, but all of us who had the privilege of knowing Jason will miss him always.
