Jason Channell

Jason Andrew Channell of Sterling Heights, Michigan, went to be with the Lord on October 24, 2022. He died unexpectedly of an apparent heart attack at the age of 51. He was born in Grosse Pointe, Michigan on November 18, 1970, to Nelson and Rose (Ware) Channell. Jason graduated from Grosse Pointe North High School in 1988 and received a bachelor's degree in Political Science and Economics from The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in 1991. He went on to earn an M.B.A. in International Business from Wayne State University in 1994. Jason began working with his father at Associated Electroplaters in Hazel Park when he was a teen, eventually becoming the owner. Later he obtained his builder's license, leading to his profession of property management. Jason met his perfect match, Aimee Hillman, at Bible Study Fellowship, and they were married on February 26, 2000, when the Michigan winter temperatures soared into the 70s. A few years later, he and Aimee became the parents of four daughters within a five-year span. Jason liked to say he lived in a household of girls, including the four cats. Jason loved to hunt and spend time with friends and family at their hunting 'lodge' in the northern Michigan woods. He earned a pilot's license, was an expert marksman, and played trumpet in the University of Michigan Marching Band. Jason was also a student of history, with encyclopedic knowledge of World War II, and a deep interest in Christian History and Theology. He served as an elder at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Roseville and co-taught an adult Sunday school class. He made many close friends in his church family, and cherished friendships with the members of his small group fellowship. Jason is preceded in death by his father, Nelson, and his brother, Larry. He is survived by his mother, Rose; his wife Aimee and daughters Lydia, Grace, Deborah, and Joanna; his sisters Lois Kilkka and Jennifer Jackson (T.W.); and twelve nieces and nephews. Visitation will be Thursday from 5pm-8pm at Mandziuk & Sons, 3801 18 Mile Road, Sterling Heights. On Friday, visitation will be from 10am-11am at Cornerstone Baptist Church, 17017 East 12 Mile Road, Roseville. The funeral service will be at 11am with a luncheon following at the church.
