Jason Callistan

British Soldier, Sgt Jason Callistan, age 30, Lowestoft, was returning home on his Yamaha motorbike from duties with 33 Engineer Regiment (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) of the Royal Engineers when he was involved in a collision on the A143 at Hepworth, near Diss, last Wednesday. (October, 2010).

A tribute from his family said: “J Callistan, tragically taken on Wednesday October 6. Devoted to his country, family and friends, serving in the Royal Engineers for 12 years. A true character who will shine in our hearts forever.”  Sgt Callistan joined 33 Engineer Regiment (EOD) in January 2009 as a corporal and qualified as Royal Engineer Seach Team Commander before serving a six month tour in Afghanistan. On his return to the UK, he was promoted and qualified as a bomb disposal officer and it was in that role that he was about to start preparations for another tour of duty in Afghanistan.

He is described as a "personable, professional and inspirational individual". He is survived by his wife Emma and numerous other relatives. 

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Jason Callistan is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
