We will miss Dave we love our ace. And will still shop.there. But will miss Dave. Love jojo. Prayers for family….. x
He was a really good man. I’m sure sorry for the families loss.
I only met Dava a few times he seemed to to be a very good person.HeI was so helpful and kind. The community has lost a great person. My condolences go out to the family.
Dave would always go out of his way to help his customers. He always said hello and would ask if I needed help finding something. I send my condolences to his wife, sons, and the employees that worked with him.
Dave Jasso was a wonderful man and great leader. His years of service in the Navy and always setting a great example made him a man that was a pleasure to know. May God Bless Amy and his entire family. Much love to you all from The Fenters Family
He was a man of honor and was always willing to help no matter what. The community has lost an amazing person. Prayers to his family.
So sorry to hear this. We love this store and all the folks that work there. What a great loss, may God bless his family and friends ❤
This store, he ran like back in the day I used to go with my grandfather.
One of my favor stores, sorry for the family’s loss and a great loss for the community.
So sorry to hear this. That’s my favorite store. Everyone that works in there is pleasant and helpful. You will be missed.
The few times I personally interacted with him while shopping in the store were genuinely pleasant. Everyone in that store is. I wish the family and friends the most comfort in these difficult times. Rest easy Shipmate!
Super nice guy,he will be missed.
So sorry to hear about this. I was not a personal friend, just a customer, but he and the entire staff have always treated me in a manner that made me go out of my way, sometimes even spending more money in the process, to give him and his store my business. Truly a pleasure to shop there. I wish I knew all the employees names. I only know Ely Bosz by name, he and the rest of the staff could NOT have been more courteous and helpful every time I’ve ever entered the store.
If I were to be starting a business (especially a family business) Mr. Bosz and the others would be my first hires.
Proves that Dave and the rest of his family know how to hire high character/moral employees. I have know doubt that Dave is not hurting anymore and is already at his eternal home having trusted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.
Very sad news…he was always super helpful and very friendly. He personally helped me pick a lawnmower around 2019 shortly after they opened, talked to me about 20 minutes. Then, he took the time to have an employee drive the mower to my house. I always enjoyed shopping at Cantonment ACE, it won’t be the same. Condolences to the family..
Truly a great man …. Wish I could have spent more time with him .my thoughts and prayers go out to his family!
Our community we mess you. Thoughts , prayers and love to his family.

I’m so sorry to hear this and I’m praying for your family during this time. I love my ACE hardware. You all do a amazing job and I know Mr. Dave had to be so proud of what you guys have built. Your not alone your friends and store family love you all.

After hurricane Sally, Dave did everything he could to help the community get the supplies they needed to get back on their feet, even while his store was damaged and had no power. Dave always made sure my kids were provided with popcorn every time they entered the store. Dave will surely be missed by the community. Sending up prayers for his family now. Well done good and faithful servant.
A true loss for the community! This family is what small business ownership is all about!. I hope the store continues on as I love the customer service I get there EVERY time I come in.
Jasso family, please know how much we appreciate you. May a blanket of love and peace surround you as Dave suffers no more.
So very sorry to hear this. I love all the folks at my Ace. This store has the best employees, and You will be missed.
UNREAL,
what a nice man toand helped me with a paint project when he first opened. I managed an Ace hardware years ago in my home state. It was always great to help as he did.
Bless you for serving and your dreamw
Love you Dave! When I worked my shift today there were 2 different people that looked like you and I got so excited thinking it was you
Today we talked about the good times we had with you and we will do that every single day to help each other through this. Oh and JoJo said she misses you and her belly scratches!
