His niece Jacquelyn Steelman wrote on the memorial fundraiser that he was a "goofy, selfless, kind-hearted family man."
The Sea Isle City Fire Department also mourned Steelman's death in a Facebook post.
"Jason served his community not only as a firefighter but also as a leader of Boy Scout Troop 76," the department posted. "He also was a longtime coach of Dennis Township Football teams."

According to the memorial fundraiser, Steelman was "one hell of a cook" who put as much passion into making a meal as he did for responding to an emergency.
"We all know how much everyone loves his goofy sense of humor or his little quirks, and we appreciate everyone being a part of his short yet impactful life," Jacquelyn Steelman wrote.
Jason Steelman leaves behind a 20-year-old daughter, a 17-year-old son, and two young grandchildren.
