Personal Life
Jason lived with long-term girlfriend Welsh actress Myfanwy Talog, for eighteen years, and nursed her through breast cancer until her death from the disease in 1995. This experience inspired him to organise his own charity, the David Jason Trust, for terminally ill children.
In 2001 Jason's girlfriend, 41-year-old Gill Hinchcliffe, gave birth to a baby girl, Sophie Mae. It was Jason's first child and he was 61 at the time. Jason and Hinchcliffe married on 30 November 2005, in a private ceremony at the Dorchester Hotel. The family lives in Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire.
Jason is a qualified helicopter pilot.
Jason's older brother, Arthur White, is also an actor and played Ernie Trigg alongside Jason in A Touch of Frost.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“In contrast with envy, which usually occurs between two people and is focused upon another person’s qualities or possessions, jealousy occurs when a third person becomes a threat to a dyad. Jealousy involves the loss or the impending loss of a relationship that one wants to hold onto, a relationship that is vital to personal fulfillment and claimed as one’s own.”
—Carol S. Becker (b. 1942)
“On wings of morning our prayers and devotions are soaring.
All of creation awakens, the Maker adoring.
Join in the song. Harmonies blending along,
Vigor and life now restoring.”
—Jane Parker Huber (b. 1926)
