Jason Alexander Gillespie

Jason Alexander Gillespie, 30 passed away Sunday, March 8, 2026 in Arlington.

Memorial Service: 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, March 18, at Wade Family Funeral Home Chapel, 4140 W. Pioneer Parkway, Arlington, with Pastor Brian Treadaway officiating.

Jason was born January 25,1996, in Arlington to James and Veronica Gillespie. He attended Martin High School from his freshman year through graduation in 2014. Jason went on to attend the University of Texas in Austin, graduating in 2019 with his degree in Sociology. He loved the 40 Acres as called by the students and professors alike. He went on to make a successful career in software sales. He had the personality and ability to speak to business owners, CEO's alike, and was on the Leader Board for many months. Jason worked to live, not live to work. It was obvious with the time spent with family, friends, and watching UT Longhorn games.

Survivors include mother, Veronica Arias Unsell and husband Dr. Randal Unsell of Ovilla; brother Aaron Chase Gillespie and fiancé Olivia Bishop, nieces' Adalyn Marie Gillespie and Alyse Novah Gillespie, of Kennedale; uncles George Arias and wife Sondra, of San Francisco, Jerry Arias and wife, Susann Arias of Whitney; and many cousins and friends. Jason will be painfully missed by family and friends. We will take comfort in the Word of God Psalms 34: "The Lord is near the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." Psalms 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
