Jason John Eberle, D.D.S.
April 3, 1971-May 27, 2008
Jason Eberle, 37, died suddenly of natural causes on May 27, 2008. His family is overwhelmed by the tragedy of Jason’s passing. He touched the lives of so many and his absence will be deeply felt.
Jason was born and raised in Reno, NV. He graduated from Reno High School and the University of Nevada, Reno. He joined the U.S. Navy and completed post graduate studies at Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery, in New York City, graduating with honors. He then received a specialty certificate in Pediatric Dentistry in 2007 at UCLA.
Through much hard work and determination, Jason received his private pilot’s license at the age of 19. Further evidence of his determination and independence was his ability to put himself through dental school. While attending Columbia University in New York City, Jason had the privilege of triaging victims of 9/11. Another one of Jason’s greatest personal accomplishments was having his research published in the Columbia Dental Review.
Jason loved the outdoors and was an avid sportsman. His favorite spot for hunting and fishing was Surprise Valley, CA. Jason’s canine companions, Hound and Eddie, were always at his side.
Jason resided in Reno with his wife of two years, Denise Eberle. He practiced in the Reno/Sparks and Elko, NV communities as a pediatric dentist. Jason earned the respect and admiration of his patients and colleagues through his compassionate, gentle nature and excellence in dentistry.
Jason was loved and will be remembered for his clever witty remarks, practical jokes, contagious laugh, and intense loyalty to his friends, family and patients. He had many fond memories of road trips accompanied by good friends and good music. He continually sought knowledge through his love of literature and hours spent watching the History and Military Channels.
Jason is survived by his beloved wife, Denise, father Joseph Eberle, D.D.S. (Kani) of Reno, mother Jean Metzker Ph.D. of Walnut Creek, sisters Nikol Abelman (Billy) of Las Vegas, Annabeth Breen (Adam) of Salt Lake City, Monet Homze (Eric), Aleise Eberle and Demi Eberle of Reno, his brother Nate Metzker (Cameron) of New York City and stepfamily Johnny Metzker, JK Metzker (Jamie), Kristin Rolling (Henry), Mini Peters (Dan) all of Reno, grandmother Bette Henrikson of Waukesha, Wisconsin, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Jason had a passion for providing dental care for underprivileged children. Because of numerous requests to honor him, the Jason Eberle Memorial Fund for Indigent Children has been established. This fund will be used to financially assist in dental treatment of children by volunteer dentists. Those desiring to contribute to this fund may do so through Nevada State Bank, Account no. 400114963.
