Jason Paul Crowder, of Winslow Township, died in the accident on Saturday, July 8, his obituary says. He was 30.
Born in Vineland, Jason grew up in Hammonton, where he played basketball and football before graduating from Hammonton High School in 2011.
An avid sportsman, Jason volunteered as a football coach for the Hammonton Hawks and the Hamilton Knights Organizations and played softball with the Hammonton Rec. League. He was also a member of the Wheels of Soul Nation.
Above all, Jason was a dedicated father to his two beloved sons, Caleb and Jaelen Crowder.
