Jayson Patrick Ebert

Jayson Patrick Ebert, 21, of Wamego, Kansas, died Sunday, September 5, 2021, at his home.

Jayson was born January 25, 2000 to James Edmund Ebert II and Jennifer Lynn (Weixelman) Ebert in Manhattan, Kansas. Jayson is a brother to Jacob Eichem, Justin Ebert, and Jessica Ebert. Jayson’s childhood in Wamego was filled with tournaments every weekend, basketball practices hours away, and football games every Friday night.

Jayson attended Wamego High School and graduated in 2018. While in school, Jayson played basketball, football, golf, and baseball. He was an exceptional athlete and excelled in everything he did. After school, Jayson found his one true passion, operating heavy equipment. Jayson worked alongside his father and brother at Ebert Construction. It came natural to him to lead on the job site, allowing for him to take on many responsibilities.

Jayson loved hunting, playing golf, video games, and time out at the lake, especially on the jet ski with music on full blast. He loved being surrounded by his friends and people who loved him. But more notably, he loved being a dad. Jayson spent countless hours playing with trains and equipment with his son, Kasyn James Ebert, and put his safety before anything else. Kasyn’s favorite place to be was watching his daddy push dirt in the dozer and snuggle him while watching movies. The bond they had was irreplaceable and they loved each other deeply.

Jayson was always hugging someone, whether they liked it or not. He was the goofiest little boy, had a laugh like no other, and was strong. Anything that came at Jayson, he took head on and didn’t ever back down from a fight because he was driven. And if he loved you, you didn’t doubt that love for one second.

Jayson is survived by parents, James and Jennifer Ebert of Wamego; his son, Kasyn James Ebert, and Kasyn’s mother, Madison Jager, Wamego; his maternal grandparents, Pat Weixelman (Angie), Wamego, and Susan Anderson (Roger), Wamego; his maternal great grandma, Mary Lou Anderson, Wamego; his paternal grandparents, James Ebert (Dorothy Winterman), Wamego, and Alice Marten (Robert), Manhattan; his siblings, Jacob Eichem (Paige Divine) and their daughter, Sutton, Wamego, his twin brother, Justin Ebert, Wamego, and Jessica Ebert, Wamego.
