Jason Hawk is Alive. Obituary Rumors, Cancer and Health Update

Born and raised in Arkansas, USA, Jason Hawk is a well-known survival expert, TV personality, and outdoorsman. Arkansas is known for its wilderness, mountains, and natural beauty, so Jason was pulled by nature from an early age. Jason Hawk is Alive; details about his cancer and health update are revealed here.

He was born on April 5, 1979, and completed his education by taking metal fabrication and welding as a major from Montana State University. Jason learned various skills required for being an outdoorsman from an early age as he was born into a family of artisans.

He learned to manufacture knives from his parents at an early age and today owns a knife manufacturing company and an official hunting license. The survival expert got the major spotlight from the show ‘Mountain Men’ when he was seen surviving unspoiled wilderness. Jason was one of the fan favorites in the show alongside other cast, including Tom Oar, Eustace Conway, and others.

The star, along with his wife, Mary, shared heart-wrenching news regarding his cancer diagnosis in 2021, and there was a big rumor regarding his death. Let’s find out more about him.

Jason Hawk on Mountain Men:

Jason was already an adventurer before joining ‘Mountain Men’, and the show completely suited his personality. Hence, he decided to join the show in its fifth season.

Jason fought the unbearable winter, used all his survival skills, and survived for basic needs far away from civilization. Jason and his wife were mostly seen around Ozark Mountain while being a part of the show.

His unbelievable hunting skills and charming personality gained him some followers, and hence, he was part of the show till its ninth season.

Why did Jason Hawk Leave Mountain Men

Despite Jason seeming to be enjoying his journey in the show and viewers loving him, viewers noticed that his appearance was declining with the premiere of the latest season.

Viewers were confused during the whole time, but not until January 2021, when the Hawk couple revealed that Jason was diagnosed with cancer and had to go through a six-week course of intensive chemotherapy.

The news clarified why Jason was compelled to step away from his role. Also, the couple had to use the GoFundMe campaign to pay medical bills and living expenses, as Mountain Men was their major source of income, and their contract wasn’t renewed after its ninth season.

Jason Hawk is alive. People are confused with another Jason Hawk’s Obituary:

Yes, Jason is still alive and recovering. There has been a big hoax regarding the death of Jason, as people even wrote obituaries and sent condolences to his family. The rumor started spreading in 2021 when the couple revealed Jason’s cancer diagnosis.

When he suddenly stepped away from the show Mountain Men, some fans worried and started searching on Google about his health, and in a big coincidence, google search displayed an obituary of another Jason Hawk, who had passed away. Without more search, those fans believed that it was Jason from Mountain Men who had passed away, which is far from the truth.
