RIP STEVE DASH (Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th Part 2)


We at Gruemonkey are very saddened to hear about the passing of Steve Dash. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family. I had the honor of meeting and talking to Steve and I even did the photo opp with Steve dressed as Jason. Such a nice guy. 

Steve was known as Jason Voorhees pre the Hockey mask, he was the Jason with the sack over his head from Friday the 13th Part 2. He passed away on December 18th 2018, due to complications from a long battle with diabetes. He was 74 years old at the time of his passing.

Dash gave everyone a update on his health condition on Facebook on December 6th: “I have an update on my condition. They’re amputating my left leg tomorrow afternoon. It’s been pretty tough suffering from diabetes, blood clots and a bad heart over the last year. I welcome the decision I’ve made because I will be able to play golf in 6-8 weeks with a brand new leg. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and personal messages to me. The [Friday the 13th] fans are the best fans on the planet.”
