About 70 people gathered for a memorial in Twisp Park on Sunday afternoon to honor Sharon Gray, 49, who was murdered by her husband, Jason Rumohr.
Gray was an Eastern medicine practitioner and nutritionist specializing in digestive health. Rumohr is a certified Hellerwork Practitioner, licensed massage therapist, and movement educator, according to his website.
This is the third shooting and second murder of a spouse in Okanogan County since April 30 of this year.

Jason was indeed a kind and gentle man. I believe Sharon rests peacefully because she knew how very ill Jason was and that he loved her. Please be mindful that Covid can have tragic and devastating effects long after the physical effects are gone. If you think you may have neurological symptoms after Covid, don’t wait. Seek help immediately.
I hope Jason gets the mental help he needs and then I hope he spends the rest of his life in prison. No matter what he should never be allowed to walk with society again. If you take a life you have to be held responsible. I met Sharon about 40 years ago and she has always been my friend. She was such a bright light, it’s sad her own husband blew out her flame. I know she is in Heaven.
I too know Jason. A very beautiful man. This would not have happened but for a severe mental break with reality. So tragic.
Wow, thank you so much for providing a counterbalance to the articles that have been published in the MVN on this story where barely anything has been mentioned about Jason’s struggle with mental illness, and the humanity feels very lacking. Too much of our news just caters to people’s worst fears, but you managed to really capture the love that had also been there before this horrible turn. This isn’t a black and white issue where we just get to point our fingers at the “evil murderer”. Is it ever really?? The truth is (always) that hurt people hurt people, and this is another tragic example of the lack of awareness and support for mental illness at large in our society.
I truly appreciate this article and the additional information shedding light on the layers of this tragedy. My heart goes out to the families and the Methow community. I hope that somehow the pain from this loss is transmuted into increased awareness and possible solutions for the dangerous intersections of illness, lack of access to timely care, pharmaceutical reactions, early signs for domestic violence, and effective application of law. Sharon and Jason always wanted to bring healing to their community and now it is up to who is left to usher that forward.
