Jasper was born on August 2, 1943 in Emory, to John Marvin and Frances Ecra Harrell Northcutt. He graduated from Rains High School and Texas A & M. He proudly served our country in the United States Army and was awarded the Purple Heart and a Bronze Star Medal for Valor, during his participation in the Vietnam War. He was a member of the VFW, and a charter member of the Rabb Brothers American Legion Post 156. Jasper participated in all the activities performed by the American Legion in helping the residents of Emory and Rains County. He worked most all of his life as an electrician in Rains County. Jasper was a member of First Assembly of God Church where he served as Secretary/Treasurer for many years, as well as served on the Board of Trustees for many years, Jasper was well versed in the Bible. He had several translations of the Bible, allowing him to compare scriptures giving him the best understanding of those scriptures. Thus, providing him with the most important and true application of those scriptures to his life. He was an avid reader. History was a theme he enjoyed reading about. The Vietnam War was, also, even though having served and fought during that war, was still interesting reading for him. Western stories were also good reads. Often times Jasper volunteered and worked behind the scenes helping others through difficult times and through different avenues of help for residents of and throughout Rains County.

During his years as a volunteer fire fighter for the Emory Volunteer Fire Department... he also was a volunteer EMT. After a time, he enrolled in an course, allowing him to achieve his certification as an EMT. He accompanied the ambulance to many emergency calls in Rains County. During those days, people made requests for Jasper to actually be on their calls when they called for the ambulance.

Another thought about Jasper was his own special booth at the Dairy Queen. Many afternoons he would sit there reading the newspaper and drinking coffee. This was his "little 4 o'clock coffee break".

Jasper Ray Northcutt was an extremely intelligent man. Many people did not know his kind, gentle ways, his devotion to his Savior, his interest and dedication to his country, his service to others...unspoken, anonymous services... However with all these wonderful traits, he was a very quite man.. unobtrusive, but faithful to his local and war veteran friends.

Jasper Ray Northcutt will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
