Jason DeaBueno serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer for Silver Key. He is a native to Colorado Springs, and has been involved as a client, volunteer, and community partner with Silver Key since 1982. During that time, he has developed an unwavering focus on championing the needs of seniors in the community.

Jason’s early involvement was going with his great grandmother to the senior center on the Silver Key bus.  When he was old enough to volunteer at Silver Key, he was part of program known as ‘home modification program’ – which helped seniors to create access into the home by building ramps and reduced falls by leveling out risk areas.  The specific effort he was involved in was called ‘Lights & Locks’ which was to add lights to the yard and replacing home locks for security.

Jason has been a Colorado Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2005 and holds a Master’s in Business Administration.  Currently, he is working to achieve a doctorate by defending his thesis that people who complete advanced care directives, specifically Five Wishes, reduce the emotional, financial, and legal toll on surviving family and friends by celebrating the life of the person.
