In Memory of Jason Kuklinski

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our friend and colleague, Jason Kuklinski.

Jason was much more than a valued member of the Norris Design team—he was a trusted leader, mentor, collaborator, and friend. Through his talent and dedication, he made a lasting impact on our projects, our clients, and everyone fortunate enough to work alongside him.

“Jason shaped our Tucson office over his 20 years with Norris Design. We are fortunate for Jason’s leaderships and commitment to design demonstrated by a legacy of projects across Arizona and beyond. Over the years, we navigated an evolving market and developed a strong team in Tucson and Arizona poised for success that Jason put all his heart into. Thank you Jason and you will be missed greatly and none more than by his wife, Sonja.” from Norris Design partner and friend Stacey Weaks.

To honor Jason’s life and legacy, friends, Norris Design colleagues, and members of the design community are working with the Town of Oro Valley to create a memorial addition at Naranja Park, a project that was especially meaningful to him. The memorial is envisioned as a modest but meaningful extension of the park, reflecting the care and design sensibility Jason brought to his work while creating a place for people to gather, reflect, and remember.

The project will be made possible through contributions from the community and industry partners, including monetary donations, materials, professional services, and construction support.
