After news of his shocking death surfaced, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross shared his sadness as he honored and paid his respects to a man who has made a lasting impact to the organization. He called Jenkins a “friend” and a “generous soul” who was an icon to Miami.

“I am heartbroken. Jason Jenkins was an icon in the Miami community and above all a kind and incredible family man. His dedication to our organization was unmatched. He was my friend but most of all he was a generous soul. My heart is with Elizabeth and his children tonight. The Jenkins family will always be a part of the Dolphins family.” Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was also on hand and though his tenure with the team has only been seven months, he could be seen fighting tears while speaking on the loss of Jenkins. Jason Jenkins is survived by his wife Elizabeth and their three children Liya, Aiden and Sloane,” Ross said.

Jenkins may be gone, but it is clear the Dolphins are ready to do everything they can to continue the work he has started and keep his legacy alive.
