Nyhus, 45, longtime resident of Moorhead, formerly of Keewatin, MN passed away, Sunday, March 6, 2022 in Moorhead, MN.  He was born September 14, 1976 to Donald and Teri (LaBine) Nyhus in Hibbing, MN.  Jason graduated from Moorhead High School in 1995.  Hockey was a big part of his high school career.  Jason was a Moorhead Spud through his junior year and in his senior year, he joined the Junior Gold team and they won the State Championship.  Jason was an avid sports fan and there wasn’t a crossword puzzle he couldn’t finish.  One of his favorite stories was where he was 5, he and his dad were spearing suckers and he had his froggy spear along.  The Game Warden checked everyone…and confiscated Jason’s froggy spear.  He will always be remembered for his kind heart and eagerness to help others.
