A beloved security guard and shopping centre manager is being remembered for his ‘mega watt smile’ and ‘cheeky nature’ after unexpectedly passing away south of Brisbane.
Jason Pinnow reportedly passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack over the weekend, and he is being remembered affectionately as ‘Big Jas’ known for his smile and ‘cheeky nature’.
The Liuzzi Family from The Mall Beenleigh shared their disbelief after their shopping centre manager’s passing.
“Jason was held in the highest regard across our family and business. He developed a significantly strong bond and foundation with our tenants, staff, contractors, community and customers, throughout his 28 years of managing The Mall Beenleigh and Nerang Fair,” they said.
“Jason’s dedication in ensuring our centres were always operating to the upmost of standards was always on the forefront of his daily agenda. His passion and presence will be deeply missed by all of those that had the pleasure of knowing him.
“Jason will forever remain part of our family and hold a special place in our hearts. Whilst his absence will never be replaced, he will always be with us in spirit.”
A Gold Coast Titans supporters Facebook group also shared a tribute for the late security guard.
“It is with a heavy heart this morning we learnt of Jason’s unexpected passing over the weekend,” they said.
“For those of you who are regulars at Cbus Super Stadium over the years, will remember the man we affectionally knew as “Big Jas” from the other side of the fence, his mega watt smile and cheeky nature following him wherever he went.
“Even while on security duty during games, Jason quickly became a huge part of our wider Gold Coast Titans family and a long term supporter of the club.
“Our condolences go out to Jason’s family, especially his young kids at this difficult time.”
Rob Bailey from the Gold Coast said his former colleague and mate was a beautiful soul.
“We lost another beautiful soul. A man I loved and enjoyed working with as a mate and great person,” he said.
“I cannot believe you have left this world so early, the world was a better and safer place with you in it.
“You always cared for those around you and loved helping others. I am saddened by this news and prey your in a good place now brother.
“Rest easy mate and know we all love you and I personally appreciate everything you taught me and all the fun we had together.
“Love to Jason Pinnow family and boys.
“Stay safe all and know we all respect and love you Jason….fly high brother.”
Jason Pinnow’s Funeral will be Friday December 10 at the St. George’s Anglican Church in Beenleigh at 1.30 pm. The wake will be across the road at Degani Cafe at Beenleigh.
